Reiki Energy Healing Therapy
“Everything is energy at the most fundamental levels.”
~Albert Einstein
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energetic healing technique used to help regulate the energy in our bodies so that the body can heal itself. Reiki healing is a safe, non-invasive form of healing that has no negative side effects and that everyone can benefit from.
Our bodies are amazing energy machines that are constantly protecting and healing.
Reiki is a natural and safe method of holistic healing and self-improvement that anyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki is considered a complementary therapy and works in conjunction with medical or therapeutic treatments to relieve side effects and promote recovery. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. In fact, our bodies are energy machines that never stop creating, distributing, storing, and using energy - 24/7/365.
Our bodies have 8 main energy centers or areas that give that area of our bodies the ability to heal. Sometimes those energy centers can become weakened and can become blocked, disrupting the healthy flow of energy that helps our bodies heal. When that energy is weakened due to stress, illness, disease, or trauma, our body’s ability to heal itself is diminished and we are at risk.

The intention of Reiki is to create deep relaxation, remove stress and anxiety, help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. Reiki is accepted and utilized in hospitals, hospices, spas, and wellness centers throughout the United State.

What to Expect in a Reiki Therapy Session
A session is usually 60 minutes long. A discussion will usually take place during an initial session with your Reiki Practitioner. They will describe the session, give you an opportunity to discuss any particular problems or issues you are experiencing and ask you what you are hoping to achieve from their session. For the actual session, you will rest comfortably on a massage table on your back with your shoes removed. Reiki can be performed sitting comfortably in a chair as well. Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed and you are always fully clothed; loose, comfortable clothing is suggested. A session can either be hands-on, where a Practitioner will apply a light touch during the session on your upper body, legs, and feet, or hands-off where they will hold their hands slightly above your body. If you prefer not to be touched they can indicate this to the practitioner before they begin.
The session will then proceed with the Reiki Practitioner moving through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the head or feet. You might feel a warming sensation or a tingling during the session or nothing at all but sheer relaxation. The session should be very pleasant, relaxing and invigorating.
