Reiki
Hands-on or remote visualization techniques with the goal of improving the flow of life energy
I have been a Reiki Master/Teacher for many years, but my gift for healing broken hearts, bodies and minds began at the age of 8. My grandmother was a healer and somehow the gift of healing became a part of me when I spent a year with her in Berlin, Germany.
In the years that followed, I became very aware that I was able to feel people’s pain and suffering. I could intuitively see and understand what their physical condition was, how it happened and what the emotional connection was.
As the years went by, I wanted more and more to help those who were suffering. I became a Reiki Master, so that I could be an even more effective healer.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of therapy that uses simple hands-on or remote visualization techniques, with the goal of improving the flow of life energy in a person.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means “universal life energy” in Japanese, and Reiki practitioners are trained to detect and alleviate problems of energy flow on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Reiki is used in much the same way to achieve similar effects that traditional massage therapy is used —to relieve stress, pain and emotional trauma and to improve the symptoms of various health conditions.
Purpose
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports overall well-being. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: Rei, meaning universal or spiritual wisdom, and Ki, meaning life energy. Reiki practitioners use their hands to channel energy into a recipient’s body to balance energy flow and encourage healing.
Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century in Japan. Usui discovered this healing method after a period of fasting and meditation on Mount Kurama. His teachings were passed down through a lineage of Reiki Masters, making their way to the West and growing in popularity worldwide.
Reiki is based on the principle that life force energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is low or blocked, individuals may feel unwell, stressed, or fatigued. Reiki practitioners use their hands to direct energy to the recipient, clearing blockages and restoring balance..
Reiki Session
How I Practice Reiki
I offer Reiki both remotely and in person. The receiver remains fully dressed, either lying down or sitting in a comfortable position. Before I begin, I open with the Reiki symbols and ask the recipient’s higher self for permission to proceed. In most cases, I can sense if permission has been granted, even if the recipient is unconscious, such as in a hospital setting.
Understanding Distance Reiki
One of the most powerful aspects of Reiki is that it transcends the physical, time, and space realities. Distance Reiki allows me to send healing energy to clients no matter where they live in the world. I use the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol to bridge the connection and channel Reiki energy across time and space. Many clients feel the effects just as strongly as they would during an in-person session.
