What is Reiki?
Universal life force energy - plain and simple. It always was, is and will be. Some call it God, some call it The Source; it has many names and facets. We are part of it, it is part of us; we are all one. It is at the cellular level; it is DNA. It is healing energy and it is light. It is a path of enlightenment and connection to the Source. It is a gentle but powerful modality used in "hands-on" healing. It has its own intelligence - during a healing session it goes where it is needed. The Reiki practitioner is the conduit through which the life force energy passes and enters a client going to the cellular level healing mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It has been known to eliminate dis-ease completely. It balances the energy centers in the body known as the "chakras" which link to the endocrine system. It is the miracle of life itself. To experience it is a gift to all.
A Reiki Session
1. The client is fully clothed and can either be lying down on their back or be in a sitting position.
2. The client is asked to relax, breathe close their eyes; just be. Call in angels, spirit guides, God, whatever the belief system is to assist in the healing process. No religious belief is even necessary.
3. Music is used; aromatherapy can be used for the session.
4. The practitioner will prepare themselves silently.
5. The practitioner will begin at the head and place the hands on (or above) three head positions, the throat, the heart, the solar plexus, the navel, the lower abdomen, the knees and feet. The client may be asked to turn onto the stomach. Then the practitioner will touch the back in four positions, the back of the knees and again the feet. Sometimes, practitioners will touch other parts of the body based on intuitive feelings or channeled information.
6. The client may feel tingling, warmth from the practitioners hands and other sensations or they may experience nothing. Many fall into "Reiki slumber" a semi-conscious dreamlike state that will be totally relaxing and peaceful.
7. The practitioner may smooth the aura and then allow the client to "reawaken" at their own pace.
8. The client may feel effects many days after the healing has occurred. Vivid dreams, calmness, increased energy are but a few of the after effects. For clients with chronic problems, a series of sessions may be required.
