Reiki is a stand alone treatment or used in combination with massage, Sound Healing, or Chakra balancing. Reiki was developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist named Mikao Usui. It uses a technique known as Hands on Healing, where the practitioner transfers universal energy through the palms of the hands, it can be given as a distance or in person healing treatment. This technique  encourages the body to heal itself. Not recommended on broken bones due to the speed of which healing takes place. Reiki been seen to have positive affects on head aches, pains, stomach aches, colds, flu, post surgery, cancer, anxiety, depression among many other benefits.

How does it work?

Physical and emotional blocks from trauma build up over time creating an imbalance in our energy field and untreated leads to illness and stagnation preventing us from being able to move through life with ease.

The goal of Reiki is to free the blocks and create movement of energy throughout our physical and energetic body.  It can enable a deep state of relaxation, reduced pain, speed healing and reduce other symptoms of illness.

Your belief or mine makes no change to the outcome as this healing practice in whatever form, works on transferring positive loving healing energy to the receiver.  I believe I am just the conduit to guide the energy needed to facilitate your own body’s ability to heal itself.

What should I expect during the session? What are the side effects?

Due to the format of Reiki, it is very effective at working from a distance where  you don’t actually have to be in the presence of the practitioner.  Intention and energy direction has a great deal of power when delivering healing.

Some people experience a healing crisis after a Reiki session.  You might release toxins from tissues and organs that cause you to feel like you have flu-like symptoms.  Drink more water.  This will pass within a day or two.  You can also be quite emotional as Reiki does begin to heal any unresolved emotional discord.  Remember all healing is good and Reiki’s intention is to do no harm.
