Reiki

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 energy is channeled by the practitioner and naturally drawn in by the client. The Reiki energy will flow to where it is most needed, 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.
