REIKI (rei; universal / ki; energy)
A) Reiki as a healing modality:
Reiki is a gentle hands on healing modality that restores spiritual equilibrium, and activates the body’s own natural ability to heal itself. Reiki practitioners have the unique ability or gift to transfer the universal life force, which exists on a higher dimension than the physical world we are familiar with, to the person receiving the treatment. The universal life force received comes from a Higher Power which truly lies within us all.
Reiki is not an abstract, intangible experience or practice. It’s a spiritually guides life force energy, that originated 2500 years ago in Tibet. It literally heals the energetic field of the recipient and while this process is taking place the recipient feels either a tingling sensation or a feeling of heat or cold. After each session, a great reduction of stress or emotional clearing will be manifested by a glowing radiance, a sense of heightened awareness and profound mental clarity.
B) What can you expect from a reiki Session?
A typical Reiki session requires that the recipient (remaining fully clothed) lie down, usually on a massage table; in a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The Reiki practitioner mostly keeps their hands moving just above the body in an effort to scan energy blockages, and work to remove and replace those blockages with the Universal Life Force energy. The experience itself is powerful yet extremely relaxing. By clearing blockages and suppressed emotions, emotional and mental disharmony can be easily dissolved. Reiki will often allow the deeper causes of the unhappiness or negative emotions to surface, which allows for healing to take place. The Reiki practitioner also provides insights that are essential to the recipient’s personal growth.
