Reiki
Reiki is an ancient healing technique revered and preserved by Tibetan monks 2,500 years ago, before being rediscovered in Japan. It is a form of energetic healing, designed to target the energetic frequencies of one's body: to heal with white light, ancient symbols, and place a focus on unblocking each chakra for a sense of cleansing, calm, and restoration. The foundations of Reiki are held within a holistic view of each individual and their healthy integration of mind, body, and spirit.
Healing that is focused on energetic balance & fluidity often unblocks painful restrictions or experiences, having positive effects both on body and mind. Oftentimes, this amplifies or compliments any current healing process, whether that be medical illness, trauma recovery, or grief.
I first speak to the recipient about my process and what can be expected to properly respect each individual client's boundaries. I'll ask what my client is comfortable or not comfortable with.
A Reiki healing session is done with the recipient laying down. The practitioner hovers their hands or places them lightly over the recipient's body, channeling the energetic flow within the body, aura, chakras and mind.
Each person (and session) experiences the healing differently. To some, it may feel extremely relaxing, to some it may bring a gentle peace. Some may experience visions or feelings throughout the process, and overall in my personal view, the whole experienced is best described as "warm".
In most cases, it provides a feeling of safety, and typically will leave the person feeling relaxed and tired - the tired is natural, the body seeks to rest after energy is released and healing is facilitated.
