WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a healing modality, meaning "spiritually guided life force energy." Introduced as a practice in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui in Japan, Reiki work realigns physical and energetic bodies, releasing stagnant energies and bringing in fresh ones to support your healing journey, both physical and spiritual. Often bringing receivers into a deep state of relaxation, Reiki activates the natural healing response and deepens connection to self and to Source.
​
During a Reiki session, the flow of universal life force energy (Ki/Chi/Prana/Ka/Barakah/HolyLight) is directed through the receiver, helping to clear energetic blockages and nourishing the body and the soul. Reiki always goes wherever it will be of greatest service at the time of receiving, supporting healing and personal growth.
​
Regular practice can help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, improve sleep quality, enhance physical healing and overall well-being. Underneath all of this, regular reiki practice helps you connect with and open your heart center, the source of all our magic! Working with Reiki offers a beautiful opportunity for rest, restoration, and self discovery. It will meet you wherever you are in this moment in life, acting as a guide back to your truest self.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION...
We'll begin with a short conversation to go through any questions you may have or information you would like me to be aware of. After a brief guided meditation, we'll begin our work, to be conducted in person or remotely via phone or Zoom.
During the healing portion of the session you will be laying on a massage table (in person) or in your own comfortable space (remote), with an eye covering and meditative music. I will not touch you, so know that whatever you are feeling is from the energies doing their magic!
Things are shifting internally when Reiki is received and we enter a state of deep relaxation. Your energies are moving and things may bubble up. During a session you may feel surges of emotion, have flashes of thoughts, images, or colors, hear sounds, smell scents, or feel physical sensations. You may experience all of these things or you may not. Whatever you feel or experience, know that Reiki is doing the work you need at this time. If anything you experience feels uncomfortable, know that this is just something that is being released or that is ready for your attention. Know that when working with reiki, you are safe, anything happening during a session is always in service of your greatest good. Reiki always operates in the light, it vibrates at the highest frequency, meaning that there is no room for anything that is not rooted in love while it is at work.

​
It is common to continue feeling shifts in your physical, emotional and spiritual bodies in the days following a Reiki session as you adjusts to the changes that have taken place. Whatever you feel is healthy and normal. Take care of your body, be kind to yourself, and stay open to whatever is ready for your attention.
