How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki is the life force energy that flows through all living things.  Usui Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of gentle energy healing aimed at bringing your body into balance and activating your body's healing ability.  Reiki's healing energy aids the body in releasing toxins, emotional energy blocks, and stress. It can reduce pain, heart rate, lower blood pressure and stress hormones.  Balancing the energy in the body results in an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being which often improves the quality of sleep and increases energy and focus for daily activities.

What to Expect From A
Reiki Session

The Process

It is important that you wear comfortable clothing.  Unlike a massage, you will remain fully clothed and experience a soothing environment created with low light and gentle music.  The Reiki practitioner channels healing energy through her hands and may use gentle touch or simply hover over your body to align your energy and restore balance.  Depending on the package you purchase, the practitioner may also use crystals and sound healing to further amplify the healing energy.

The Experience

Everyone experiences Reiki differently depending on what each person needs on that day and the way he/she feels the energy.  Some see colors or feel tingling, heat, or waves.  Others can have an emotional response all indicating that healing shifts are taking place to restore balance and harmony. 

The Results

After the session, most people report feeling relaxed, lighter and less stressed.  The cleansing and shifts in energy can last up to three days and may include releasing physical toxins and emotional energy.  This "detox" is similar to the flushing of toxins after a massage. It is important to drink plenty of water to aid this process.

 

The sense of balance and well-being can last much longer.  Many experience better sleep, a more optimistic attitude, and a calmer approach to stressful situations.
