Reiki Healing Treatment
This gentle hands-on healing method will open the flow of life force energy throughout your body. A Reiki treatment can reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being. The practice works to allow the chakras (energy centers) as well as your aura into harmony. Reiki is helpful in promoting all levels of self-healing.
How Does Reiki Work
The life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras, meridians, nadis and marmas. (Ayurvedic and Chinese Traditions) It also flows around us creating an energy field known as the aura. This life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow is blocked, restricted or obstructed, it causes diminished response or function in one or more organs or tissues, and reduces the "radiance" of the aura at the same time.
This life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It can be disrupted, not only through physical causes, but through acceptance of negative emotions or thoughts, whether conscious or unconscious. Stress is one of the most potent disruptors of energy flow, and our modern fast-paced lifestyle keeps most people out of balance much of the time.
Reiki works by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and emotions are attached and blocking the flow. This causes the negative energy blockages to break apart and fall away. The result is that reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways. The energy flow is restored and as a result the client feels refreshed, relaxed and invigorated.
Reiki Sessions: What to expect and How it feels
A typical reiki treatment session takes place in a quiet environment, sometimes in a treatment office. After a few minutes of basic quiet talk and relaxation to leave the world outside, the client lies down on a reiki treatment table (similar to a massage table), fully clothed (it is NOT a massage). Sometimes a reiki treatment will take place in a seated position. Some reiki treatments are done in silence, while others may take place with some appropriate therapeutic, relaxing sounds or music in the background. This is usually based on the feelings of the person undergoing the treatment. A session will usually last about an hour. Most reiki sessions will involve the practitioner placing his or her hands over a particularly blocked energy flow area and allowing the reiki force to flow through the hands and into the client.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and around you. You may feel a soothing warmth coming from the hands of the reiki practitioner. Reiki practitioners report that their hands become hot during the session as the energy builds up and flows.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, serenity and security, with a general sense of well-being.
Unexpected things can occur. As the energy flows through the blocked centers, it can awaken thoughts or emotions that have created the blockage. Sometimes there will be spontaneous laughter or tears! Sometimes there will be a welling up of emotion. The result is almost always a release and freedom from these unconscious blocks, sometimes for the first time in many years. The results can sometimes seem almost miraculous. You should just let the experience unfold and accept what the flow of energy brings you for your inner need and call. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use beneficially.
