Reiki is...
The transmission of the universal life force (energy) through a certified, attuned Reiki Practitioner (conduit) to the client (receiver) who is in complete control of how much Reiki flow is received at any given time. At the same time the energy is transmitted, the practitioner receives it as well, since they are the conduit (conductor).
... A complimentary healing modality that can be used in any situation without side effects or drug interaction. In fact, the drug effectiveness is often enhanced with Reiki.
... Unique in that no special equipment is required.
... the only healing modality with an attunement process and teacher lineage.
... exquisitely simple.
... at least 2,500 years old and was re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the mid-1800's.
... used by many Doctors and Nurses.
...Authentic and goes beyond therapeutic touch in that it requires an attunement, does not require the client to be present, and does not rely on the mood or personality of the giver to be effective.
... Compatable with most belief systems.
...Perfectly legal in Minnesota.
Reiki is NOT...
... A substitute for western medicine, psychotherapy, counseling, or any other healing modality. Rather, it works in concert with them making them more effective.
... Threatening or invasive.
... A religon.
... An instant cure (although spontaneous healings have occured).
... Affected by the mood or health of either the practitioner or client.
... Draining for the practitioner, since the energy source is universal, not personal.
Reiki can be...
... Comforting, Enjoyable, Healing, Supportive, Energising, Cleansing, Connecting, Relaxing, Balancing
... A useful tool in changing habits and behavior patterns.
... Used with people, pets, plants, situations (space clearing).
... Used with or without contact (distant).
... Used to treat many physical, mental, and emotional conditions, including depression, asthma, speeding healing after surgery, allergies, broken bones after they are set, arthritis, stress, migraine headaches, spiritual disconnection, digestive disorders, terminal conditions to help find peace, insomnia and acute or chronic pain. It is used in conjunction with other therapies in most cases.
What goes on in a Hands-On Reiki session?
A Reiki session is 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The first session is usually one hour in order to evaluate your needs.
The only clothing removed is your shoes.
You may sit or lie down, depending on your needs.
Music may be played if desired. I usually advise people on the type of music that is most effective for a straight Reiki session. This is in no way limited to New Age or Classical music, but it is usually instrumental. (If sound healing is desired, no music will be played while the Reiki is given.)
In silence, the certified, attuned, practitioner gently places their hands on the energy centers of your body usually moving from your head to your feet. There are sixteen traditional positions for hand placement, including areas on the head and face, shoulders, back, stomach, feet and knees.
Each position is held for three to five minutes depending on the length of your visit and your needs.
In a 60 - 90 minute treatment, both the front and back of your body are addressed. (If sound healing is desired, it will occur after the Reiki session.)
What goes on in a Distant Reiki session?
The practitioner and client agree on a time for the distant reiki to occur.
The client then makes themselves comfortable in their own home while the practitioner emits distant reiki to them.
No photo or phone connection is needed.
What to do to maximize the benefits of Reiki...
Arrive early, to take advantage of the full time scheduled.
Wear socks, please.
Let your practitioner know if you have any areas on your body that you do not want touched.
Let your practitioner know why you are there and what you want out of your treatment.
Ask any questions you may have about your treatment, or your practitioner. The answers may not be as complete as desired, since Reiki must be experienced rather than explained.
I work in accordance with the Minnesota Com. Care Guidelines. My treatment approach may vary depending on you and your health needs. Individuals with chronic conditions may require a finite series of sessions agreed upon by client and practitioner to maximize the cumulative benefits. Since chronic complaints have taken time to develop, some time may be needed to see benefit, and the condition may appear to worsen as the healing takes place. Other techniques used in conjunction with treatments in my office may include: Sound healing with tuning forks, or Celtic harp, guided imagery, mudras, or relaxation training. No complimentary techniques will be used without the consent and awareness of the client. Payment is due prior to treatment starting.
Distant healing and Gift Certificates Available.
