What exactly is Reiki, and who benefits from it?

In the simplest of terms, Reiki is the practice of energy healing. Using a hands-off or hands-on approach, Reiki practitioners are vessels to help expel negativity, encourage relaxation, and relieve physical pains.

Reiki is "Universal Life Force Energy." Rei represents the source of energy, and Ki is the energy moving around and within each of us. Think of it in terms of a radio station. Everyone can listen to a station, but we get a lot of static if we are not tuned into the right frequency. Practitioners are the "channel" for you to receive the energy. Through their own practice, dedication, education, and attunement from their Reiki Master, they now and forever possess the gift of helping heal others. Reiki is L-O-V-E!

"The energy we give heals our own wounds."

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."

So who can benefit from Reiki? Anyone! Reiki may be considered a spiritual healing practice but is not linked to any belief system. You do not have to have a belief system, and it does not infringe upon your beliefs. It can be conducted in your own home or space, or you may go to a practitioner's office. The possibilities are quite endless. There are several types of attunements you can choose from, but please remember that although a specific intention may be set the universal life force energy will run its own course and go where it is needed most.

Are you curious about what to expect during a session? Great! Generally, a single session can range from 30-50 minutes in length. You will either lie or sit, depending on your practitioner's space. You will never be asked to take clothing off; however, you may be asked to remove heavy coats, jackets, shoes, or even jewelry. Some metals can absorb the healing energy. Depending on your preference and the practitioners, your session could be hands-off or on. There are about 12-15 hand placements during an attunement, and some general attunements may only focus on one specific area while placing Reiki symbols into your energy field. Once started, the session will be done silence unless you need to release emotions or say something. This is always a loving and open environment, and the practitioner will never judge or shame you.

Many practitioners will use eye pillows to cover you to keep you in a more relaxed, receptive state as they move over your body. Once the session is complete, this will be removed, and they will allow you to "wake up" once again. You will want to move and rise slowly as well.

Typically you will have the opportunity to go over any questions you may have and will be asked questions by the practitioner.

This is meant to be a purely relaxing and healing experience filled with love and energy directly from our source. So please ask any questions or note any experience you had during your session. We love hearing feedback!

You will receive aftercare information, including what to expect in the days and weeks and how to treat and care for yourself fully. The main thing to remember is to treat yourself with love and care.

You did something great for you; now its time to honor that!

Nameste.
