What is Reiki?

Reiki (ray-key) is a healing modality that can be used to help people with spiritual growth and healin. The knowledge of an invisible life force energy that flows through all living things has been part of the wisdom of many cultures for thousands of years. When our life force energy is low, it impacts our wellbeing and personal health. The technique increases one’s life force energy that brings the body back into balance promoting a healthier life.

A Reiki Session described.

• When the client arrives, a short conversation is held to discuss the clients concerns/reasons for coming in for a session and to answer any questions the client might have about the session.

• When ready to begin the session, the client lays down on a massage table (fully clothed).

  • Short sessions can also be held with the client sitting in a chair.

• The practitioner usually uses a mixture of hands lightly placed on certain areas and hovering hands above the body. This depends on the clients comfort. If preferred, the whole session can be done without touching the body at all.

• Typically, the client finds the session relaxing and very commonly falls asleep for part of the time. They may also experience things like heat or tingling. It’s also possible for emotions to arise.

• A full session lasts for approximately 60 minutes and a short debrief is held after the session is completed.

• Partial or short sessions can be provided if preferred. These are usually focused on specific areas. These sessions are also recommended as initial sessions for clients who are elderly, very ill or for young children.
