~ Reiki Principles for Living
Reiki is energy. Reiki is the spiritual or life force energy that flows through all living things. This universal life force energy is directly connected to our health and well-being. Reiki is a method to help the body release stress and tension through deep relaxation.
Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word Rei when translated means "Spiritually Guided," "Sacred," "Holy," "Infinite Wisdom," "Divine," or “Universal” and Ki meaning “Life Force Energy,” "Chi," "Prana," or "Spirit."
Everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others. Reiki Practitioners transmit this Life Force Energy through the hands, thoughts and chakras contained within the human energy system.
Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. Reiki is powerful, yet gentle and nurturing and can be an effective alternative or compliment to massage therapy.
Dr. Mikao Usui is credited as the founder of Reiki.
It is also taught that this form of healing has been known for centuries and that Dr. Usui rediscovered this art in the late 1800's.
His tradition and methods were passed through several Grand Masters of Reiki.
Reiki appointments are from 60 to 90 minutes including time for a short intake session. We will discuss your expected outcomes and give an overview about the flow of the session. For the actual session, the client will rest comfortably on a massage table on their back with their shoes removed. In a Reiki session, a client is always fully clothed. It is advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing.
A session can either be hands-on, where the Practitioner will apply a light touch during the session, or hands-off where they will hold their hands slightly above your body. It is the clients preference for treatment and will be discussed at time of interview.
If you choose to have a Crystal Reiki session, various crystals will be placed on and around your body before and during treatment.
The Reiki Practitioner moves through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person’s head or feet, working through the chakras. The session should be very pleasant, relaxing and invigorating.
Some noticeable benefits of Reiki are stress relief, relaxation, balancing the flow of energies, connecting with your inner healing wisdom, and enhancing your spiritual growth and awarenss.
