Spiritual healing with Reiki

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a complimentary healing modality of Japanese origin. It is a non-invasive, hands-on technique, based on the concept that an unseen Life Force (Ki, pronounced chee) vibrates through us and is what causes us to be alive. We have a wide range of different vibrational frequencies within our body’s energy system and our body’s energy centers (chakras). If a person has low Ki, one is more vulnerable to stress and illness. If the Ki is high, one is more likely to feel joyful and healthy.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki is a very simple technique. You remain fully clothed while I lightly place my hands in a sequence of positions on and around the body. The Reiki energy flows through me and out from my hands. Reiki will flow to the areas of negative or blocked energy (Ki) and change the vibration of the energy. Reiki actually raises the vibration until the negative energy can no longer hold on to the area it is attached to. The negative energy then releases.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki is a simple process and not dependent on spiritual experience or intellect. Anyone can learn to use Reiki to help themselves and others. The effects of Reiki are similar to the feelings we have when we experience love in our hearts.

A Reiki session feels like a wonderful, glowing, warm radiance that flows around and through you. These feelings produce endorphins, your body’s natural pain fighters. The nurturing touch of Reiki often feels like a warmth or a tingling, and sometimes is felt in parts of the body that my hands aren’t on. Some people experience colors or patterns in their minds eye during a session. Every person’s experience is different. Yet, most people report feelings of deep relaxation and an overall sense of well-being. Reiki treats the whole person: body, mind, emotions and spirit and works very well as a compliment to allopathic medicine. Reiki is also very beneficial for relief of side effects from medications and various clinical treatments.

I provide Reiki healing sessions in half-hour and one-hour session increments.

How You Can Learn Reiki ?

Reiki classes consist of what is referred to as attunements. One analogy is to think of the Reiki healing rays as if they are radio waves. We may not physically see them, but we know they are there because we can align vibrationally (by tuning our dial) with these energies. When you have received an attunement, you are connected to the proper frequency of energy vibration in order to become a conduit for the Reiki rays of healing energy.

Reiki is taught in three levels, each of which has a different emphasis. The classes, also referred to as the attunement, last between three and five hours, depending on which level we are working on and group dynamics.

In Reiki Level I, students learn to use the Reiki Healing Energy System for their own well-being and/or the healing benefit of others, including animals. A Reiki I attunement opens the student to receive the powerful, yet gentle healing energy which promotes a healthier and more balanced mind, body and spirit. Students learn energy body fundamentals and receive hands-on experience and training, a class manual, a Certificate of Completion and one of my own Reiki-infused Chakra Candles.

In Reiki Level II, students move on to receiving an even greater level of Reiki. With each successive attunement, the power of the Reiki energy is increased exponentially. Students learn the first three of the five traditional Usui Reiki symbols and learn how to integrate them into their use of Reiki. You gain access to the energies of Reiki distance healing and learn how to transmit it. Students again receive a class manual, a Certificate of Completion and a Reiki-infused Chakra Candle.

In Reiki Level III, or the Reiki Master Teacher Level, you receive the most powerful level of Reiki energy.

In some Reiki training environments, the Reiki Master Level and Reiki Master Teacher are broken into two different classes. My personal belief and experience is that since a person receiving the Reiki Master Practitioner attunement is indeed qualified to pass attunements, I incorporate teaching that process with my Reiki Master class. The class is done in two parts so that students have time to assimilate the process and can practice before the second part of the class.
