Reiki is an energy healing modality that works with an energy field that contains vibrational or energetic information in the form of white light. Light is existent in all matter, material and life on this planet. Therefore, Reiki Universal Life Force Energy is available to all living organisms.
Receiving a Reiki treatment increases one’s access to this energy field, harmonizing and balancing the physical, mental and emotional bodies. In turn, this potentially leads to increased spiritual growth and expansion.
During a session, the Reiki practitioner lightly places hands on or near the body, all while the client rests comfortably, fully clothed, on a massage table or while sitting in a chair. The client is encouraged to relax and surrender to the moment as this will help the energy flow more fluidly.
Some clients report feeling warm, cold, or tingly in their body or parts of their body. Others might have dream-like visions, feel the body release tension or pain. Sometimes there is a gentle emotional release resulting in spontaneous crying, laughter or twitching muscles. Many recipients of Reiki treatments say it is a very relaxing experience and often experience improved sleep the night post session. Over the next several days, some might experience light “cleansing symptoms” as the body is stimulated into letting go what it doesn’t need to hold any longer. Generally, it is advised to give yourself plenty of rest, quiet and calm during the following days as the body is integrating energies and balancing.
A single Reiki treatment precipitates relaxations as well as improved balance, lightness of being and rejuvenation. Ultimately, it is these profound states of relaxation and balance that create the grounds for deep healing.
