Reiki for Stress Relief and Natural Healing

Reiki is a natural healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes balance of the body, mind, spirit and emotions.

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Force Energy." This system of healing was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900's.

It is based on the idea that there is a "life force energy" flowing through all living things. This vital energy of life is called "ki" or "chi" or "prana" in various Eastern traditions. When this "ki" is balanced and flowing freely through us, we can achieve a happy, healthy state of well-being. However, blockages or imbalance in our body's energy system can lead to pain or dis-ease.

Reiki is an easy and natural way to help bring ourselves back to the peaceful and healthy state of wellness that we all want to enjoy.

Reiki works with the body's energy system. Chakras are a core part of our energy system. Chakra is an ancient Sanskrit word that translates as "wheel" or "disc." Chakras are not seen in the physical body because they are fields of energy.

We have seven main chakras which are believed to be spinning spheres of bioenergetic activity (like electromagnetic energy fields). The seven chakras are stacked vertically in a column of energy that begins at the base of the spine and moves upward to the crown of the head. Each chakra has a purpose as well as unique characteristics.

Reiki works on all the chakras to ensure the flow of energy throughout the body is balanced and free-flowing.

During a session, I work in energetic connection with you in order to remove blockages, detoxify your energy system, and restore your vital life force energy. You will lay on a massage table fully clothed. Soft music will play in the background to help you relax. The Reiki technique utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us, all you have to do is close your eyes and float away. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

After receiving a Reiki treatment, it is common to feel deep relaxation, relief from stress, and a sense of peace and well-being.

Reiki is complementary to traditional medicine by enhancing the healing process for people with varied health or medical conditions. It can also help reduce the pain and stress associated with disease. Therefore, it is a great way to help promote healing and recovery in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques. It is also a great adjunct to counseling and emotional healing.

Reiki provides healing on all levels: body, mind, spirit, emotions, and energy. Reiki helps you to be open to your intuition and to trust your Inner Source of wisdom and guidance. Reiki can also help you connect to the Divine within.

While Reiki is not a religion and has no religious affiliation, it can be a spiritual experience that usually blends well whatever religious/spiritual beliefs you have. Thus, Reiki can open the door to new levels of enlightenment.

I am trained at the master level in three different types of Reiki.

Learn to do Reiki Yourself

Anyone can do Reiki once they have been "attuned" to the Reiki energy. Reiki is an amazingly simple technique to learn.

I regularly teach Reiki classes to those who want to learn to do Reiki themselves.

In a Reiki class, students receive an "attunement" (which only Reiki Master Teachers can perform) which opens up the students’ own energy channels, allowing the Reiki energy to flow through them.

The attunement, along with training about the body’s energy system and instruction on how to use the hands to perform a Reiki treatment, immediately allows students to use Reiki for relaxation, stress reduction, and natural energy healing for themselves or others.
