Reiki
FAQ:
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique
for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes
healing. It was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the
early 1900's. Reiki is administered by "laying
on hands". Techniques such as these have been practiced
for thousands of years in Asia. Reiki is a very simple
but yet powerful technique. There are different levels
of Reiki "attunements" that students receive
by their teachers or masters. There are four levels
of Reiki proficiency: I, II (Practitioner), III (Master)
and IV (Master/Teacher). Reiki practitioners heal by
channeling "The Universal Healing Energy That Permeates
All". The main benefits of Reiki are stress reduction,
relaxation, bolstering the immune system and restoring
balance to the body, mind and spirit.
What to Expect During a Reiki Session?
Reiki sessions can last anywhere from 15 minutes to
1 hour depending on patient needs and/or financial constraints.
It is advised for first time patients to schedule a
one hour session on their first visit. This allows time
for the practitioner to get to know you, create a care
plan and take care of your biggest issues.
You remain fully clothed for a Reiki only session and
lay on a massage table for treatment. Meditative sounds
and/or music are played during the session to enhance
your relaxation and focus. Your practitioner will first
give you and the room a spiritual clearing and blessing
before beginning. You will be asked to state your intention
for the visit. Your practitioner will then "turn
on" his or her hands and begin your healing session.
During the session you may feel hot, cold and/or tingling
sensations throughout your body and that is normal.
This is the body's way of releasing negative energies
that could be related to emotional, spiritual, physical
or mental trauma or illness. During your session you
may be asked to concentrate on a color and/or breathe
in a color and/or concentrate on a word. It is important
during your session that you tell your practitioner
what you are feeling and where. Your practitioner will
end your session by closing your Chakras and giving
you a spiritual blessing and protection. It is recommended
that you do not consume
alcohol or caffeine before your session.
What is Intuitive Counseling?
During a Reiki session the attuned pracitioner may
receive a channeled message for you from their Reiki
spirit guides. These messages can be quite helpful for
you to resolve spiritual, mental and emotional issues.
The message will help to unblock your energy in key
places within your body.
Receiving Intuitive Counseling can be of great benefit
to help resolve some of life's great questions and can
help resolve some mystery diseases, pains and aches.
Quite often these types of undiagnoseable problems are
really being caused by spiritual, mental or emotional
issues from your past.
