Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction that facilitates relaxation and healing.  It aids the body’s natural healing abilities through the balancing of the energy systems of the body, which improves and maintains health.

The idea behind energy medicine is that disease is the manifestation of an imbalance in one or more of the energy fields in the body.  Imbalances can be caused by many different situations that occur in our daily lives, such as emotional or physical trauma, pain, negative thoughts or emotions and destructive lifestyles and relationships.

Reiki is a simple, non-invasive healing modality that is focused on balancing the body, mind and spirit.  It can be compared to massage, but is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy”, which flows through us, affects our state of health.  If your life force energy is low, weakened or blocked, you are more likely to get sick or feel stress.  If your life force energy is abundant and flowing well, you are more in line with being happy and healthy. Some of the healing benefits of Reiki include, but are not limited to:

• A sense of deep relaxation and stress reduction
• Acceleration of the body’s healing abilities with either acute injuries or chronic conditions
• Helps relieve pain
• Aids in the elimination of toxins, especially after surgery or chemotherapy
• Improved sleep

During a Reiki session, you will remain fully clothed as I apply light, hands on pressure for you to receive the Reiki energy on different parts of your body. Other times my hands will hover over your body.  The hands off method can be employed for the entire session as well.

Each person experiences Reiki in their own way.  You may feel a sensation of heat coming from my hands.  You might even drift off into a dreamlike state or fall asleep.  Just relax and enjoy your experience.

I look forward to working with you.
