REIKI is a valuable addition to any program of well-being. A person need not be ill in order to gain benefits from a Reiki treatment. One of the main purposes of Reiki is to bring about the balancing of the body’s energy system. This balance is called homeostasis in medicine.
REIKI is non-manipulative and is extremely gentle. Generally performed when a fully-clothed person is lying in a prone position, the Reiki Practitioner’s hands are placed on or above the recipient’s body and held there for two to ten minutes. My methods include helping the recipient to focus on deep breathing to start, followed by a time of visualization – traveling in one’s mind to a place of safety … a place where one is surrounded by something beautiful and peaceful. The recipient is usually quite relaxed before the Reiki session actually begins. Then, placing my hands gently on or over the body I direct the energy to bring about a balance in the chakras, or energy centers, of the body. Continually scanning the body, I spend about 20-25 minutes on the front of the body, then working on the back of the body for approximately the same amount of time. |

I, as a Reiki practitioner, am not actually “sending” the healing but am rather considered a channel or “straw” through which energy flows in a concentrated form. It is the receiver’s body, with its own innate intelligence, which determines the amount and flow of energy, and where and how that energy will be used.
Although the focus is on the major organs, the energy will reach and benefit every cell of the body. |

A Reiki treatment is most often experienced as a feeling of well-being, comfort and profound relaxation. The effect of a Reiki treatment is cumulative and the experience is greatly deepened with repeated sessions.
I love some of the reactions from clients with whom I have worked. They have expressed their Reiki treatments as: “amazing”, “a blessing”, “magnificent”, “never before felt so relaxed in my life”, “release of tension”, a sense of renewal”, “a phenomenal discipline”, “a beautiful time of peace and serenity.” |

| Others have stated that Reiki “made a huge difference in my life”, “makes me feel relaxed and positive about my health”, “has given me the physical and mental relief I have been searching for”, “brought such a measure of peace, serenity, centeredness and self-acceptance to me”, “provided relief from all the toxic chemicals”, “made my spirit a little stronger”, “brought fresh energy support to my body, heart, mind and soul”, “gave me time to think and reflect while someone else helped me to refocus and heal”, “lifted my spirits and helped heal the soul “, “is like going on a journey to heal”, “put me more in touch with my stress areas”, and, one of my favorites … “gave my life back to me!” |
