The word "Reiki" ('Ray-key')
is made up of two Japanese words(above):
"Rei" - meaning "universal,
spiritual or free flowing" and
"Ki" - meaning "life
force energy"
Reiki is therefore
"universal life force energy".

What Is Reiki?
The
knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is
connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom
of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this "life force
energy" has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical
doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the
immune system and the healing process.
Reiki is a
technique for stress reduction and relaxation that allows everyone to
tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve health
and enhance the quality of life.
An amazing
technique, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense,
but is transferred to the student by the Reiki Master. Its use is not
dependent on ones intellectual capacity or spiritual development and,
therefore, is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to
thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
A
treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you
and surrounds you. Reiki treats the whole person including body,
emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including
relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many have
reported miraculous results. Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method
of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. |

What happens during a reiki session?
Reiki Therapy is given by
placing hands on, or slightly above parts of the body that correspond
with the major energy centers (Crown, Brow, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus,
Navel and Root). The hands are left in each position anywhere from 5 to
10 minutes. There is no massaging involved and personal privacy is
always respected. You remain fully clothed, although you may be
asked to remove shoes or items of tight-fitting clothing such as a large
belt.
During the session you
will begin to feel my hands heat up as the energy begins to flow.
Tingling sensations are normal and a deep sense relaxation begins to
sweep over the body. Some may experience a flow of emotions take
place during a treatment: tears, laughter, etc. Allow this
to run its natural course as your path to inner healing begins.
The therapy is usually
given with the client lying down on a massage table. If this is not
possible, you may recline on the floor, a couch or seated upright in a
chair.
There may be relaxing
music and aromatic fragrances to create a pleasant atmosphere. However,
these are not essential to the therapy and can be removed if you wish.
At the end of your session, you are served herbal tea and allowed to sit
quietly and ground yourself.
Rates:
One hour sessions are
$55, and half-hour sessions are $30.
