Reiki
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan. It is based on the idea that there is a life force energy that flows through all living things and that this energy can be channeled by a practitioner to promote healing and balance in the body, mind, and spirit. Some potential benefits of Reiki include:
-
Reducing stress and promoting relaxation: Reiki can help to calm the mind and reduce stress and anxiety. This can lead to a feeling of deep relaxation and an overall sense of well-being.
-
Boosting the immune system: Reiki can help to stimulate the immune system, which can help the body to fight off illness and disease.
-
Reducing pain and inflammation: Reiki can help to reduce pain and inflammation in the body, which can be especially helpful for those with chronic pain conditions.
-
Enhancing emotional well-being: Reiki can help to release emotional blockages and promote a sense of inner peace and calm. This can lead to improved relationships, increased self-esteem, and a greater sense of happiness.
-
Improving sleep: Reiki can help to improve the quality of sleep, which can lead to improved overall health and well-being.
While Reiki may not be for everyone, it can be a powerful tool for promoting healing and balance in the body, mind, and spirit.
During a Reiki Session
During a Reiki session you'll lie down on a comfortable massage table, fully clothed, or sit on a chair in a quiet and peaceful environment.
I will use a series of hand positions, placing our hands on or near your body. I will channel Reiki energy into your body to help promote healing and balance.
You may feel various sensations during a Reiki session, such as warmth, tingling, or a sense of deep relaxation. These sensations are normal and indicate that the energy is flowing through your body.​
​
It's important to note that everyone's experience with Reiki is unique, and some people may feel the effects of Reiki immediately, while others may not feel anything until several hours or even days after the session. It's also important to drink plenty of water and rest after a session to allow the body to integrate the energy and continue to heal.
Distance Reiki Session
Distance Reiki is a form of Reiki healing that is performed when the client and practitioner are not in the same physical location. It is based on the idea that energy is not bound by distance, and that the practitioner can still channel Reiki energy to the client, no matter where they are.
During a distance Reiki session, the client may be asked to find a quiet and comfortable place to lie down or sit. The Reiki practitioner will then connect with the client energetically and begin to channel Reiki energy to them. This can be done through visualization, intention, and the use of Reiki symbols.
The client may feel a sense of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session, even though the practitioner is not physically present. After the session, the client may feel a sense of calm and peace, as well as other benefits that are similar to those experienced during an in-person Reiki session.
Distance Reiki sessions can be a powerful tool for promoting healing, balance, and overall well-being, especially for those who are unable to receive in-person Reiki sessions.
Reiki for Animals
Reiki can be a beneficial therapy for animals, just as it is for humans. It is a non-invasive form of energy healing that can help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body's natural healing process.
Reiki for animals is often used to help alleviate physical and emotional issues, including anxiety, pain, and behavioral problems. It can also be helpful in promoting overall health and well-being.
During a Reiki session for animals, I may work directly with the animal or may work from a distance, depending on the animal's needs and temperament. I usually begin by introducing themselves to the animal and gaining their trust, and then they will start to channel Reiki energy to the animal.
Some animals may become very relaxed during a Reiki session, while others may become more active or may show signs of release, such as yawning or sighing. It is important to note that animals may respond differently to Reiki than humans, and that the effects may not be immediately visible.
Reiki can be used as a complementary therapy for animals, and should never replace veterinary care.
