Reiki Practitioner

Reiki is a Japanese healing practice for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes the body’s natural healing ability. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is the essence of our lives. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to become ill (headaches, muscles tension, infections, etc).

The practitioner’s goal is to unblock any energy within the body and balance the energy by opening the chakra (entrance of energy into the body).

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei, which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power”, and Ki, which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is not massage, but a life force energy that is channeled to the recipient. Benefits of Reiki are:

• Relaxation
• Reduction in stress
• Relief of headache/migraines
• Improved sleep
• Relief of pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscles)
• Overall sense of well-being

In some cases, Reiki helps to release emotional blocks. It has been effectively used to release anger, shame and fear a person may have stored in their body from past trauma. In addition, Reiki can be used to set affirmations and help a person to stop smoking, lose weight, or react to situations differently.

You would work with your Reiki Practitioners to set whatever goals or desires you want to accomplish. You can also be taught to work with your own life energy and do the healing at home.
