What the heck is Reiki?

Simply put, reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine that helps to heal your energy, ultimately promoting health in all aspects (physically, emotionally, spiritually).  

​

"Ki" is the life energy that animates all living things.  When our Ki is flowing correctly, we are healthy, both emotionally and physically.  Sometimes, traumas or negative feelings about ourselves get trapped in our bodies and disrupt the flow of Ki.  When this happens we don't feel good anymore in one or more aspect of our lives.    Reiki helps release those disruptions and allows Ki energy to flow naturally again.  Once Ki is flowing correctly, your body's natural immune mechanisms can work properly, you feel balanced spiritually and emotionally,  and your energy levels are restored!  While reiki cannot replace necessary treatments/medicine administered by your doctor, it can very much be used alongside the practices of Western medicine to assist in the success of how your body responds to the treatment/medicine and lessen recovery time.

​

The possibilities of what you may experience during a reiki session are endless.  At the very least, you will feel total relaxation.  Relaxation, alone, is helpful for giving your body a break to recalibrate from tirelessly working to combat internal stressors.  Depending on what the reiki energy knows you need at that time, it is not uncommon to experience visions of unearthly colors or symbols, revisiting buried memories, Universal downloads, new perceptions of your reality, guidance on how to handle a hurdle you are facing, manifestation of a new goal, and more.  You may experience physical symptoms of the energy flow in the form of heat, tingling, buzzing, or the urge to move a certain body part in order to release what is being dislodged by the reiki's healing energy.

​

Reiki is an all-knowing source of healing energy that wants to support us through our Earthly lives.
