Reiki is of energy medicine, which enhances the body’s ability to heal itself. It compliments Pilates, massage and meditation in creating optimal health in the body, mind and spirit. Usui Reiki is a holistic treatment, meaning that it works with the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical levels. Stress in all its forms and manifestations can restrict the natural flow of energy that flows through the body and replenishes it. Reiki clears those blockages and assists in the release of physical pain, emotional trauma and limiting thought patterns that no long serve. It is a powerful tool for personal transformation and growth, as well as a vital part of one’s self-care practice. Like going to the gym for physical health and maintenance, reiki is used on a routine basis to restore one’s energy for disease prevention and wellness; and/or to heal specific issues on the physical, emotional or other levels.
What are its benefits?
People use Reiki to experience healing from physical pain, illness, or injuries. Reiki is great as a complement to physical rehabilitation and to release body tension, muscle aches and strain or to relieve stress and anxiety. Reiki is deeply relaxing and restorative.
How Does it Work?
During a reiki session, you lie down, fully clothed, eyes closed, in a relaxed position. The practitioner places her hands on, above, or around your body and works energetically using various, gentle, hand positions and light touch. Clients generally experience deep relaxation during and after a session. Please note that Reiki is not meant as a substitute for medical, or psychological diagnosis and treatment. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions, offer prognosis, nor prescribe a course of treatment.
