What is Reiki?

 

 Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, are more capable of being happy and healthy. 

 

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy." So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." 

Reiki is a very specific form of energy healing, in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.” According to many versions of its origin, Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese seeker of spiritual truths, brought the Reiki method of healing into human awareness in 1922 after a deep spiritual experience. He is said to have begun teaching others after a serious earthquake hit Japan and he felt urged to spread his knowledge.

 

What DOES A REIKI SESSION FEEL LIKE?

In a Reiki session, James is seeking to transmit Universal Life Energy to the client. The intention is to create deep relaxation, balance the chakras, to help speed healing process, reduce pain and stress, and decrease other negative symptoms a person receiving may be experiencing. The client is fully clothed and is lying on a massage table utilizing a neck pillow, bolster under the knees and blankets for full comfort. Music is used to sooth the client as well as aromatherapy. James uses light touch (hands may be both on and off the body) and other techniques (such as acupressure) in order to achieve optimal results. Unlike other practitioners, James is also a psychic intuitive and connects to spirit as he administers the healing, resulting in channeled messages that are filled with insight and clarity into the client's worries, needs and healing journey. 

 

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
