Reiki is universal life force energy.

Reiki, is a Japanese method aimed at reducing stress, inducing relaxation, and fostering healing. It involves the practice of placing hands on or near the body, with the idea that there is "life force energy" that moves in and around us to keep us healthy & alive. When this energy is depleted, it increases your likelihood to experience illness and stress, while high levels promote happiness and well-being.

A reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Some of my clients have described it as an energy hug, or like feeling held by their mother when they were a small child. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

FAQs

  • Although Reiki energy is spiritual in nature, Reiki is not a religion. Practitioners are not asked to change any religious or spiritual beliefs they may have. They are free to continue believing anything they choose and are encouraged to make their own decisions concerning the nature of their religious practices.

  • Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment.

    However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. As a person’s vibration goes up, toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the bloodstream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system.

    When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals, and get more rest. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process so this is a good sign.

  • Yes, check out the Centre for Reiki Research to learn more.

  • Since Reiki is guided by the Higher Power, the Reiki energy will know the condition of the client or student and adjust appropriately. Reiki can only do good. Many pregnant people have received treatments with great benefit to them and their unborn child. It has also been used during childbirth.
