Reiki

As it becomes increasingly accepted and recommended by conventional healthcare professionals, Reiki’s full potential for therapy and healing is being unlocked. Not only is it an effective treatment in certain cases, but many healthcare providers and patients appreciate the one-on-one, focused connection between healer and client that comes with Reiki.

Reiki is becoming so commonly accepted and endorsed, in fact, that it is being practiced in some North American hospitals!

What can Reiki do?

Reiki can help with pain management, recovery from surgery, and medication side effects. It can also sometimes bring comfort to the dying.

Of course, Reiki can help with much, much more than that, but those are a few of the reasons why some people use it as a complementary therapy in their healthcare routine.

The following list has been comprised through anecdotal research. Clients treated with Reiki have reported feeling:
• More creativity
• More balance
• More vitality
• More relaxed
• Increased awareness
• Improved pain management (or absence of pain)
• Improved mobility
• Improved ability to sleep
• Emotional balance
These reported benefits generally lasted at least three to ten days, the original problem often disappearing permanently.

What happens during a session?

When you come in for a session, you will lie, fully clothed, on the treatment table. My hands will remain in a stationary position, gently on or slightly above your body in several locations ranging from head to toe. Sometimes practitioners do not use the prescribed hand positions, preferring to use a more intuitive approach. Private areas are worked on 4-6” above the body. There is no manipulation of the skin or tissue - Reiki is not massage!

Many individuals report feeling a cold sensation, pulsating heat, or a tingling sensation during a session, and most enter a calm, relaxed state. In some, chronic or acute pain can diminish or completely vanish. Sometimes allergies and other infirmities completely disappear. It's different for each person.

It's important to remember that no matter is troubling us, ‘we didn't get this way overnight,’ and we won't ‘recover overnight’, either. Reiki is not magical, so you must approach it with the same sensible expectations that you would any other type of treatment or therapy.

Healing takes commitment and time... one moment at a time.

What can be expected after a session?

Immediately after a Reiki session, you should allow yourself time to come fully back into your awareness. You may feel so relaxed that you are spaced-out. I often suggest to my clients that they sit and relax for 15 minutes and sip a cool glass of purified water. Becoming in touch with the soles of your feet and their placement on the floor also helps a great deal.

Over the next few days, you may notice that you are de-toxifying the waste that has built up in your system. You may want to allow more time in the bathroom in the mornings following your Reiki session. You should increase your water and/or herbal tea intake so that the toxins are flushed out more readily. You may want to rest more too, so allow time for that.

Most people feel an immediate improvement in their level of pain. Energy and alertness increase daily and a feeling of overall well-being may be noticed.

How many sessions do I need?

To begin with, three or four sessions over 10-14 days are recommended to remove entrenched blocks in your energy system; after that, once a week or once every two weeks until the issue has resolved. You will begin to notice some improvement after the first session. Long-standing health issues are usually cleared up in five to six visits.

Illness generally begins in the energy field, so if we keep our subtle bodies healthy using Reiki, and our physical bodies healthy with good nutrition and exercise, we should be able to remain active and whole.

How is Reiki a holistic approach to my well being?

It is strongly recommended that you do not discontinue any medications or treatment plans that your medical practitioner or other holistic healer has deemed necessary, unless you first speak with them personally.

Reiki energy works in concert with all other forms of therapy. It is a wonderful complement to other treatments. We can all work together to get you feeling healthier, happier and whole. This is the holistic approach.

Reiki energy goes to exactly where it is needed, so a Reiki Practitioner never needs to diagnose nor prescribe – nor do ethics or law permit them to do so.

What is the Usui System of Natural Healing?

" The word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese kanji for universal life-force energy."

Reiki is a Japanese holistic, light-touch, energy-based modality. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ki (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body's innate healing ability.

Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the energy worker allows for the flow of energy through their body. The client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required. The simplicity of a Reiki session may raise some skepticism, but after experiencing it, many clients keep coming back for more of those relaxing sensations.

Reiki is simple and produces measurable results. It is power, light and love. Reiki transcends the man-made divisions of religion, economics, location, gender, and race.

What is the history of Usui Reiki?

It has only been in the last 10-15 years that members of the Reiki community in Japan have opened their hearts to us in the west and supplied us with truthful information about how Usui Reiki came to be on our planet. Prior to this time, the facts were either distorted or not disclosed and we were left in the dark.
