Reiki
Reiki is used to balance the body’s energy field, creating a clear path for the body to return to its highest state of wellness — its total well-being within its natural capabilities at the time.
Reiki works with the human energy field (aura) to promote improved health for the whole body — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Everything that is made up of cells is also made of atoms, which are vibrating energy. Everything with vibrating energy creates an energy field that surrounds its physical mass. Having the feeling that someone is near you without seeing them, and then turning around and they are indeed standing there is an example of the expanse of the energy field. It is because their energy field enters yours; that’s how far an energy field can extend. The human body wants to maintain order, and knows its own well-being, but sometimes negatives get out of hand and problems occur. It’s as if the energy field gets clogged like a water pipe does. Nothing works well behind the clog and nothing can work past it. An electrical system works in the same manner where one little break in a wire and the whole system is out of order. Once these imbalances are corrected the person’s energy can flow through the body, mind, and spirit to restore health and promote healing on all levels.
Reiki sessions are non-invasive and are effective in facilitating relaxation to enhance the healing process. During a session, the person trained in Reiki uses their hands to sense disturbances or “blocks” in the energy field on or above the body and uses specific techniques to clear them. Because this healing work becomes very specific to the individual healer and the person receiving the work each session is different. Sometimes people can feel their own energy moving with a tingling or “phantom” touch sensation and others do not notice anything at all; however a sense of total relaxation seems to be universal.
Benefits of Reiki include a decrease in pain and stress, acceleration of post-operative recovery, symptomatic relief of chemotherapy, improvement in mood, improved symptoms of auto-immune disorders and allergies, support of withdraw of substance abuse and many more.
