What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced “Ray-Key”) is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive way to bring balance to the body by reactivating and supporting the body’s natural self-healing response.  Reiki encourages balance in mind, body, and spirit.

During a session, you remain fully clothed and can choose light touch or hands hovering above your body. Many clients drift into a deep meditative state – or even fall asleep – as stress melts away and the parasympathetic “rest and digest” system is activated.

Benefits You May Experience

Science and client stories frequently report improvements in:

• Stress, anxiety & emotional well-being – by calming the nervous system and balancing emotions. Including ability to have a stronger self-esteem, to better cope with addictive behavior, to make clearer life decisions, develop inner calm, and even heighten one’s natural intuitive abilities.
• Pain relief & physical healing – including recovery after surgery, medical treatment or chronic discomfort. Reduced side effects from radiation and/or chemotherapy, reduced fatigue, and reduced amount of prescription medications taken.
• Better sleep & relaxed digestion – deeper rest and improved gut-brain balance.

If you are going through a traditional medical treatment, Reiki can help encourage the body to be placed in a better state of balance in order to cope with any negative side effects. Once in a state of relaxation, the body is better able to strengthen the immune system. Reiki is restorative and extremely relaxing, helping the body return to its natural healthy state, and to de-stress.

There is also research currently being done in Texas at the Fort Bliss Restoration and Resilience Center by Dr. John Fornunato that is looking at Reiki being done on members of the military who are suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) after their experiences in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflict zones.

The calmness Reiki provides allows one to be taken out of the ‘fight or flight’ mode. Triggering the parasympathetic nervous system, relaxing the body after periods of stress or danger. When we are out of stress mode, our body is better able to heal on it’s own.

Often times, people who experience Reiki become so relaxed that they fall asleep during their session. Reiki is great for clearing the clutter in your mind, and stopping the never-ending chatter that stress can often trigger. Some people say it helps them get to a meditative state.

The best way to understand the benefits of Reiki is to simply try a session in person, and experience the true relaxing, healing, and balancing effects on the body.

What Happens in a Reiki Session

In-person or Distance Reiki – both begin in a few simple steps:

• Settle fully clothed on a treatment table or comfortable chair.
• Light touch or hands hovering on key points – ususally head, torso, and limbs – based on your needs.
• The session unfolds – clients often feel warmth, stillness, or gentle shifts in engergy.
• Afterword: many feel rested, clear and nourished. (Tip: keep water nearby to support grounding.)

A Reiki practitioner is not a medical doctor and is not qualified to make diagnosis or prescribe medications.  It is encouraged that if you are in severe physical pain or suffering, that you see a doctor first.  If you have a diagnosis, it is encouraged that you share it with the Reiki practitioner before you begin a session, so they know what areas of your body to focus on during your Reiki session.

Reiki can help support any medical treatment you are going through, and can also help trigger the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Safe, Compassionate and Complementary

• Reiki is safe for all ages and health conditions; it’s a soothing complement, not a medial treatment.
• While benefits may vary, most people leave sessions feeling lighter, more relaxed and better equipped to handle life’s rhythms.
• You remain in full-control – no pressure, no strange rituals, just supportive energy tuned to your comfort and intentions.
