REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that supports healing. From the words Rei: “Universal Life” and Ki: “Energy.” When you receive a Reiki session you will remain fully clothed while reclining comfortably on the massage table. Your service will consist of light touch on a series of locations on your head, torso, and feet. Recipients of Reiki often experience heat and pulsations of energy. Reiki supports healing by removing energy blockages created by physical injury or emotional trauma. Benefits include deep relaxation, relief of stress, and enhanced emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
FAQ
+ How long will my session last?
Reiki sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes. A 60 minute session is sufficient to address all of the major energy centers of the body, while a 90 minute session will also provide time to give extra attention to areas that are particular sources of pain or stress. A 30 minute mini-session can be experienced as an abbreviated treatment or as an enhancement to a therapeutic massage.
+ Will a single Reiki treatment relieve my ailments?
Generally speaking, no. Although one session will typically provide noticeable relief, a series of Reiki treatments is optimal for effecting lasting change. Four treatments are generally recommend for creating the desired relief of pain and stress.
+ What will I feel when I receive a Reiki treatment?
Experiences of Reiki are very subjective and vary from one person to the next. You will likely have an experience of very deep relaxation. You may also notice heat, tingling, or pulsations of energy at the locations where Reiki is being applied.
+ How does the Reiki method support healing?
Reiki is based on the theory that therapists can channel healing energy by means of touch to activate the body’s natural healing process. Emotional stress and physical trauma can create blockages to the flow of energy in and around the body. Reiki helps to dissolve these blockages thereby restoring the proper flow of energy that is integral to the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
