What is Reiki?
Reiki is the Reiki is a vibrational haling practice. In Japanese, Reiki is the combination of two words. The first, “Rei” means universal intelligence, while “Ki” means a non physical energy, commonly known as (Universal Life Energy). Reiki helps to bring us to a state of balance on every level – mental, spiritual, physical and emotional. Reiki strengthens our natural ability to heal by encouraging balance. Unlike conventional medicine Reiki does not cure symptoms or attack disease; rather it strengthens our natural ability to heal and brings us to a state of greater wholeness or homeostasis.
Reiki came from Japan culture. The treatments are safe and painless, and Reiki requires no belief - only the willingness to experience a noninvasive and holistic treatment.
Pamala Miles, an integrative health consultant and Reiki master offers the following explanation of Reiki:
"A treatment is pleasant, soothing, relaxing and centering. It can also be energizing, depending on the recipient's current state. Reiki is always balancing and follows the need of the receiver, not the intention of the practitioner. Besides immediate stress- reduction and symptomatic relief, there are other subtle and profound effects that unfold over time and accumulate with continued treatment. Reiki works from the subtlest level of our existence,where imbalance begins. As we regain balance, called homeostasis in medicine,superficial symptoms disappear, and the body's innate healing potential is enhanced. Whereas specific results are never promised and vary from person to person, Reiki can be a valuable addition to any treatment plan or well-being program.
Because Reiki is a balancing and extremely gentle, it is appropriate in any situation: It will not interfere with any medical interventions being used, and will provide comfort and relief from their side effects. The effect of Reiki treatments are cumulative, and although treatment is generally relaxing, there are often distinct differences in the experience over sessions."
What can I expect from a Reiki Treatment?
Lying down fully clothed on a massage table, the treatment will include a full range of hand positions, that cover the areas from the top of the head to the soles of the feet. You will be asked to rollover onto your stomach and areas on the back of the body will be included.
Reiki is generally a laying on of hands healing modality, however, if you are uncomfortable with touch or have any condition that does not allow touch therapy the session can be done with the hands positioned above the body and not touching the skin or area of discomfort. Sessions range from 30 - 60 minutes.
Each person is unique and therefore the number of treatments recommended varies by individual. After a consultation a program will be tailored to fit your needs. We have however created a system of treatments that are a guide and can be useful for those who are just looking into Reiki.
