In a nutshell, reiki is healing with energy. To break open the nutshell: Reiki is a non-invasive, deeply relaxing, restorative modality of energy healing that works to heal all layers of the body (physical, energetic, emotional, wisdom, and spirit). Universal life energy (spirit energy, or divine energy), flows through the practitioner, out their hands, and into the recipient.
This energy moves through the recipient, healing their energy, helping it flow and move.
What does a session entail?
You rest on a massage table, or a mat, fully clothed, with an eye pillow over your eyes, listening to relaxing music. I walk you through a short, soothing breathwork to help you relax and settle into your body. I then place my hands (or hover above, based on your comfort level. All hand positions are respectfully non-invasive.) on several different energy points throughout your body, spending several minutes on each position.
What does it feel like?
That's different for everyone. Some say my hands are warm or hot, and they can feel the energy flowing from me into them. Some feel tingling as the energy moves through their body, others feel twinges as it frees up stuck energy. A deep sense of calm is most often felt. Some don't feel any sensation. But regardless of what you feel, reiki is doing it's work in your body, because the need for healing is like a hole in a dam--the energy flows right to it.
