What can a Reiki session do for me?
We all receive Reiki or “life force energy” all the time. However, sometimes we get out of balance or blocked and cannot receive a sufficient amount of this energy, causing a state of illness that may be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
During a Reiki session, a Reiki Practitioner, that has been attuned to Reiki can focus a vast amount of this energy to you, to help clear a blockage and allow the balance to return. Because Reiki occurs on all levels, in addition to helping relieve the symptoms of your issues, Reiki works deeper to reach the cause. You don't have to be physically ill to benefit from Reiki! Reiki sessions are relaxing and enjoyable.

What happens during a Reiki session?
After removing your shoes, you will lye on a comfortable Reiki table, face up. You will listen to nice music and just relax. The Reiki Practitioner will place their hands lightly on your body or 1 to 4 inches above you, usually following a set of standard hand positions that are believed to have been developed by Dr. Chujiro Hayashi (the successor of Dr. Usui) to create an organized method of treatment that covers the whole body and organs. The Reiki energy travels through the practitioner to you. The Reiki session is very pleasant and relaxing. There is no innapropriate touching of sexual areas, or undressing. It is not uncommon for the receiver to experience sensations such as soothing heat, tingling, deep peace, or other pleasant feelings ranging from very subtle to very noticeable. That’s it!
