What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a nonintrusive method of hands on healing that taps into the energy referred to by philosophers and martial artists as ki in Japan, chi in China, and prana in India. The practice of Reiki is based on the teachings of a Japanese man, Mikao Usui, who taught and practiced Reiki in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Research into the source of Usui’s work points to ancient Buddhist sutras and teachings of great Eastern masters, as well as his own meditation practice. Usui put his inspiration to good use as over the next century Reiki spread throughout Japan, and then the rest of the world.
Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool for diagnosing illness. Reiki is a technique that addresses both chronic and acute conditions, gently and powerfully promoting balance among all the body’s systems and the normal regenerative processes of the body and mind.
"The wound is the place where the Light enters you." ~ Rumi
What is Reiki Session like?
Come to a Reiki session in loose comfortable clothing. You will normally lie on a table fully clothed, but the technique is so adaptable that you can receive it in almost any setting, including a chair.
Little or no pressure will be applied and no oils will be used. Still and focused, the practitioner will simply place their hands on or above you. Practitioners routinely follow a series of hand positions, but can place their hands anywhere you would like them to focus on, such as an injury or place of discomfort. The teachings say that the energy will flow through the practitioner to you. You will receive the amount of energy you need to bring your mind and body into balance.
If you observed a Reiki session, it might not be apparent that anything was occurring. However, when you experience Reiki, you will know otherwise. While the effects vary from individual to individual, most people experience deep relaxation. You may perceive a tingling or pulsing sensation, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or you may even fall asleep.
Results are sometimes subtle. Some recipients say they felt little during the session, but afterwards enjoy a sense of calm and well-being, and a deep, restful sleep. It is possible you’ll experience powerful sensations or emotions during or after a session. Your practitioner will want to hear about all your responses to the degree you are comfortable sharing them.
