Reiki

What is Reiki?  Reiki is universal life force or universal energy.  This life force is found everywhere and in all things, including people, animals and plants.  It sustains us.  The energy is universal not personal.  This basic  energy is found in everything, but also that as a system of healing.  We are drawing upon this energy from the universe, which is limitless and ever abundant, rather than drawing upon our own personal energy.  We already have some of this energy flowing through us every day, otherwise we would not be alive.

We have four bodies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  When we have an illness or injury, an imbalance occurs first in our energy body before anything happens in our physical body.  Disease is really a lack of ease and comfort in the mind, emotions, spirit, or body.  When we tense and contract our consciousness, due to fear, pain, anger, or other unresolved  feelings and thoughts, we contract our energy body.  If the contraction holds, energy that regulates our health cannot flow freely as needed.  The block can then manifest as an illness.  The spiritual block precipitates down to the more dense levels of the physical work, creating the illness.  

Reiki works by gently releasing the blocks.  The energy flows into the system to dislodge the blocks.  Although we may come in for a session to heal a pain or ache, thinking that the problem is physical, Reiki energy will flow to the root of the pain, which may lie in the emotional or mental body.  Once the energetic root of the problem is healed, the physical symptoms will clear up.  Sometimes during or after the session, the recipient might have to process the feelings and thoughts of the block.  Sometimes processing occurs on the conscious level, and other times on the unconscious level.

• Can assist in faster healing from surgeries if done both before and after the surgery.
• Can give cancer patients a boost to their energy field that can assist in grater energy and healing during their treatments of chemo, radiation, surgery and the many CAT scans and other tests that can drain their energy.  It also keeps the energy field and the body at a higher vibration that may help cancer slow down so that the other treatment are more effective.  The body's energy can be measured at approximately 58 - 62 MHZ and if it dips too much below 58 then it is much easier for "disease" and illnesses to get started in the first place.  Raising vibration may help with healing.
• Stress reactions in the body such as IBS and chest tightness and tension have been alleviated and controlled with consistent Reiki appointments.
• Assists in faster healing of broken bones bumps, bruises or burns by keeping the energy flowing well in those areas and healing the trauma accompanied with the injury or accident.
• Prolonged grief and/or issues of forgiveness(for self ad others), physical and emotional abuse have been released over time, so the client can "get on with their life".
• Can assist in releasing knots and tension that remain stuck using Image Work along with Reiki.  Helps move emotions that are stuck and need to be released for healing to occur.

 To receive the most benefits from this therapy, I recommend a series of 3 Reiki treatments about a week apart.  Then reassess how the client is doing and either continue weekly or spread out sessions based on client outcome.  Three sessions can help the body "remember"what it is like to be balanced and harmonized with itself.
