Reiki is a form of natural energy therapy that is useful for everyone, because we are all made of energy. Reiki uses deep intention and focus to help bring the receiver’s energy states back into balance.

Reiki refers to the energy of life that is within all things. The word “Reiki” comes from Japanese, where “Rei” means universal, and “Ki” means energy or life force.

Reiki energy has a high and healthy frequency and potency that facilitates a person’s natural ability to heal by enabling relaxation which increases the strength of the immune system – helping the body to balance itself from a very deep cellular and energetic level. The practice of Reiki uses this high potency energy to calm the nervous system, revitalize energy fields, and bring the body back into our natural rest and relaxation state where it can then properly heal itself.

Reiki intends to put the body, mind, and soul in its natural state to promote its own healing – however, the only person who can heal someone is themselves. With Reiki, we simply set the intention that the person receives whatever it is that they may need at this moment. ♡

Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain, and in time these energy blocks can cause dis-ease. Energy therapy aims to help the flow of energy around the body. When the energy is balanced and flowing freely, a person experiences physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

During hands-on healing, a Reiki practitioner typically places their hands gently on or hovering over a series of hand positions on the body that correspond to the chakras (or energy centers in the body that relate to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well-being) in order to help bring energy states into balance. This is similar to how acupuncture works.

Distance healing is possible with Reiki because energy is not bound by space or time. With deep intention and focus, Reiki can help bring the receiver’s energy states back into balance and offer the person an energy boost wherever it is most needed, whether the client intended to be treated is near or far.

After a Reiki session, most people often report feeling deeply relaxed, calm, and balanced. Physical sensations like warmth or tingling can be felt during or after the session. It is common to feel a bit tired or sleepy after a Reiki session, as your body adjusts to the healing energy.

In the days following, you might notice improvements in mood, reduced stress and pain, or a general sense of well-being. Some describe a sense of lightness or clarity, while others may experience emotional releases or a shift in energy. The experience can be different for everyone, depending on what the person needs at that moment.
