WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes relaxation and stress reduction, while also aiding in healing. It is practiced by "laying on hands" and is based on the concept of an unseen "life force energy," also known as "Universal energy," that flows through us and sustains our life. If this "life force energy" is low, we are more likely to experience illness or stress; conversely, when it is high, we are better equipped to feel happy and healthy.

The term "Reiki" is composed of two Japanese words: "Rei," which means "God's Wisdom" or "the Higher Power," and "Ki," which refers to "life force energy." Therefore, Reiki can be understood as "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki addresses the whole person—body, emotions, mind, and spirit—resulting in a variety of benefits, including relaxation, feelings of peace, security, and overall well-being. Many individuals have reported miraculous outcomes from Reiki sessions. It is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that can be practiced by anyone.

Reiki has shown effectiveness in aiding recovery from virtually every known illness and consistently produces positive effects. It also complements all other medical or therapeutic approaches, alleviating side effects and promoting healing.

WHAT DO PEOPLE EXPERIENCE DURING A REIKI SESSION?

During a Reiki session, both the practitioner and the client engage with energies that can often be felt as warmth or heat, along with sensations such as goosebumps. It is common for both the client and practitioner to connect on an energetic level. This mutual connection can be highly beneficial for the practitioner, as it allows them to intuitively sense what the client needs, even without verbal communication. To ensure the most beneficial healing experience, it is recommended that you communicate your needs to your practitioner beforehand. Additionally, it is not unusual for spirit guides, angels, ancestors, or passed loved ones to come through during Reiki or energy healing sessions, as the practitioner channels universal energy. Clients often enter a deep, restful state of meditation during these sessions. It is important to remember that the practitioner is channeling universal or life force energy. The client must be open to receiving this energy, as you will absorb only as much as you allow. To gain the most from your healing session, keep an open mind and an open heart, allowing the life force energy to work for you.

HOW DOES DISTANCE REIKI WORK?

Reiki is non-invasive and is used holistically to restore balance in mind, body, and spirit while promoting the body's regenerative self-healing ability. Its healing energy connects us on an energetic and spiritual level where the healing work is conducted. To understand this, we must first realize that we are more than our physical bodies. Our thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, perspectives, and moral beliefs all exist within us but they are not part of our physical bodies. They are energies that can affect our physical bodies but they are not physical elements. Our soul or our spirit also forms part of who we are and it is definitely not a physical element. Reiki energy connects with us through spiritual and energetic levels using the intention of the practitioner to send healing energy and the intention of the client to receive healing. Distant Reiki sessions work because energy is not limited by space or time.

CAN YOU REIKI OBJECTS?

Absolutely! I love to perform Reiki on crystals before using them, as I believe this enhances their existing energy. Everything around us is energy. In essence, you can practice Reiki on a wide range of things, including medications, pets, crystals, plants, and even food or beverages. The possibilities truly are endless since everything is made of energy. I specialize in Reiki jewelry and have been drawn to the unique properties of crystals from a very young age. Each crystal possesses a specific vibration or frequency and can even retain memory. You can charge your crystals with Reiki symbols by projecting the mental image of the symbol into and through the crystal. It's all about positive intention and energy. Charging your crystals helps renew their ability to direct and amplify energy and vibrations.
