Reiki

Reiki, simply defined, means the passage of Universal Life Energy. 

Reiki is an ancient energy healing technique that offers possiblities of healing and spiritual enlightenment.  Reiki seeks to rebalance our energy systems, and release energetic blocks.  It can aide in healing deep emotional issues and trauma.   It heals on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.   It is being recognized and utilized by many hospitals and doctors as a valid treatment for many health issues including helping the terminally ill find comfort in their final days.

A Reiki session can happen just about anywhere.  I prefer to give my sessions in a warm, quiet setting with gently music playing in the background and, with the clients permission, essential oils diffused into the room.  The passing of Reiki energy does not require physical contact.  The energy can be passed while the practitioner holds their hands a few inches from the surface of your body.  Whether or not the practitioner makes contact with the client is the personal preference between the practitioner and the client.  During the session it is normal to feel your practitioners hands get warm and you may even notice some tingling.   Even if you don't feel these sensations, the healing is still ocurring.

While everyone can benefit from a Reiki session, it is the attunement that allows the healing energy to pass from the healer to the client.  The attunements are passed from a Reiki Master to the student, usually in three different levels.  Once you have had your first attunement you can begin to pass Reiki healing energy to others.  Your second attunement allows you to begin learning the sacred symbols of Reiki and to begin distance healing.  Your third and final level is the Master/Teacher level.  This level allows you to teach Reiki and pass attunements to others.

I am a Reiki Master and teach both private and group classes for all levels of Reiki.  I offer private Reiki sessions, healing circles, distance healing and various wellness events, including office wellness days.   I also support loved ones at hospitals or hospice settings.
