Reiki Treatments and ClassesReiki treatments for relaxation or energy balancing can be scheduled in-person or long-distance. I work with both people and pets. I can come to your venue to offer short Reiki treatments to your clients or employees. Classes in Reiki and energy work are available. Also, I offer attunements to connect students with the Reiki energy so that they may practice or teach Reiki.
About
Reiki
A spiritual practice to connect and heal with universal life force Reiki
means "universal life energy force." Reiki is a spiritual practice that sensitizes
you to and helps you to increase and fine tune your connection to the presence
and movement of energy. Healing and relaxation are wonderful side effects of
this spiritual practice. The energy channeled by the Reiki practitioner is the
same energy called variously chi, prana, spirit, or orgone. It has been called
by many other names by many different cultures. Reiki differs from other
energetic forms of healing in that it utilizes symbols that focus the energy
into a specific frequency to better facilitate the healing process. The symbols
used in traditional Reiki were received in a moment of spiritual epiphany by the
founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui. Reiki
Treatments
Align spirit and body to allow yourself to heal a joyful responsibility What
to Expect from a Reiki Treatment A
Reiki treatment can last from a few minutes to an hour or more. Generally, a
full treatment will last from 40 to 60 minutes. Reiki can be done as often as
you like. Reiki
can be used for its relaxing and stress-relieving properties or can be used to
help align the energy centers of the body (the chakras) and strengthen the
energetic body (the aura) so that the client is empowered to allow healing to
occur. Many clients commonly experience one or more of the following: deep
relaxation, a feeling of warmth or coolness, a sensation of tingling or of
energy moving, the stimulation and/or release of physical tension or pain or of
emotional blockages, or a zoned-out or blissed-out state that fades into feeling
physically calm, emotionally content, and spiritually present. Because
Reiki works on the energetic body and is not directly manipulative of the
physical body, touching the physical body is not required. However, it is
traditional for Reiki practitioners to place their hands directly on the body
when it is comfortable and convenient to do so. The Reiki works equally well
whether transmitted through the physical body or streamed into the energetic
body, but often the client feels more directly connected to the energy when they
are aware of the flow of energy and can feel the placement of the practitioner's
hands. I generally work partly hands-on and partly in the aura, but I can easily
adjust my techniques to fit the client's preference. To allow for the easy flow
of the Reiki energy, it is advisable for the client to dress in loose,
comfortable clothing. Although
Reiki is energy that comes from a source I consider to be spiritual in nature,
it is not a religion and you do not need to have any particular religious or
spiritual beliefs to benefit from it. Distance
Healing Distance
Reiki treatments are also available. When the practitioner, through use of her
spiritual practice and the mental focus of the appropriate Reiki symbol,
connects to that place of unity poetically referred to as "the place
without place and the time without time," she can influence that which is
distant in time or space. Treatments done at a distance can be received by the
client with efficacy equal to an in-person treatment. The
Role of Responsibility in Reiki Because
of the power of Reiki, most practitioners follow a strict code of ethics that
does not allow for energy work to be done on a person without his or her permission.
Therefore, distance Reiki can only be scheduled by the client for him or
herself, not for another. If you are concerned for another person, I can do a
treatment for you with the intention that you will become better able to help
the person you care about in a way that is mutually beneficial for all involved.
It is imperative to understand that all of us must heal in our own way and in
our own time. The path others choose is right for them, and it is not helpful to
them for us to judge the choices they make. Part of our spiritual development
lies in recognizing the value of honoring that which is different from us. The
best healing you can provide for another person or for the planet as a whole is
to take on the joyful responsibility of your own personal healing and spiritual
growth so that you may inspire others to follow your example. Reiki
for Pets Pet
Reiki is also offered. Pets love Reiki and because Reiki works on the energetic
body, it can help with issues which may be physiological, emotional or
psychological in nature. Treatment sessions for pets generally last from 5 to 15
minutes. Although some pets, and more often dogs than cats, will sit still for a
hands-on Reiki treatment, many pets, especially cats, prefer to receive the
energy streamed into their aura. Sometimes my cats become curious when I'm doing
Reiki for them and sniff or rub against my hands. Pets will usually end
the treatment themselves by walking away when they have received what they need.

Classes and Attunements
Connect with Source practice Spirit grow and heal I offer
classes in energy work and Reiki. I also perform Reiki attunements, which are
the traditional procedures for permanently connecting a person with the Reiki
universal life force energy through the Reiki symbols so that the person can
practice Reiki and use the Reiki energy for spiritual growth and to heal
themselves and others. It is not necessary to be attuned to Reiki to do energy
healing. And I have observed that people who are sincere and committed to their
energetic healing practice will automatically form the connection to source from
which this healing energy comes. However, to practice the system of energy
healing that was developed by Mikao Usui and which is called Reiki, it is
necessary to receive an attunement from someone who has been attuned to the
highest or Teacher level of Reiki. I have received the attunements for the
Teacher level of Reiki in two different lineages, and so can teach the system
and pass on the Reiki attunements in either of the styles I was taught. I am a
Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui Tibetan tradition of Reiki and am Shinpiden
level (Third Degree or Teacher level) in the Usui Reiki Ryôhô tradition. See a list of my Current Reiki Classes and Attunement Trainings.Reiki
Reading List
These
are some of the many amazing books on Reiki that I recommend to my students and
those who would like to learn more about this spiritual practice and healing
modality. Brennan,
Barbara Ann. Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy
Field. New York: Bantam Books, 1988. Although
Barbara Ann Brennan teaches her own style of energy work (not Reiki), this book
is excellent for learning about energy healing in general. I found it
particularly useful for learning about the aura and energetic bodies.
---.
Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing. New York: Bantam Books,
1993. Barbara
Ann Brennan’s sequel to Hands
of Light. I found the information on the three types of auric field
interactions to be very helpful; also, her exercise for Hara alignment is simple
and very powerful. Chia,
Mantak. Awaken Healing Energy through the Tao. Santa Fe: Aurora P., 1983.
His
techniques for energy activation and circulation are highly effective, his
writing extremely accessible, and his exercises easy to follow. His Microcosmic
orbit is necessary knowledge for Reiki Masters and Master/Teachers in some Reiki
lineages, although anyone can do the M-C Orbit and benefit from the increase of
chi for self-healing. Petter,
Frank Arjava, tr. Christine M. Grimm. Reiki: The Legacy of Dr. Usui. Twin
Lakes, WI: Lotus Light Shangi-La, 1999. Petter,
Frank Arjava, tr. Christine M. Grimm. The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr.
Mikao Usui. Twin Lakes, WI: Lotus Light Shangi-La, 2003. Rand,
William Lee. Reiki The Healing Touch: First and Second Degree Manual.
Southfield, MI: Vision Publications, 1998. Stein,
Diane. Essential Reiki: A Complete Guide to an Ancient Healing Art.
Berkeley: Crossing P., 1995. I
have several of Diane Stein’s books and am always impressed with her
unrelenting dedication to making healing techniques universally available. I
first learned about Reiki from her book All
Women are Healers. Essential Reiki is an excellent handbook that
covers all levels of Reiki practice, including information on both traditional
and non-traditional techniques. Stiene,
Bronwen and Frans Stiene. The Reiki Sourcebook. New York: O Books, 2003. Although
last alphabetically, this book may very well be my first choice for excellent,
no-nonsense information on the history and practice of Reiki. The
Reiki Sourcebook gives a clear and historical account of the development of
Mikao Usui's system of Reiki and through extensive research carefully delineates
the traditional practices from the non-traditional, placing Usui Reiki in a
historical and cultural context. The exercises are simple and effective, and the
emphasis on the spiritual practice of Reiki is inspiring. The Stienes, in an
informational and non-judgmental way, lay out details on all the various
lineages of Reiki to allow students to knowledgably select the tradition that
they would like to work in.
