What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual and therapeutic healing practice, a hands-on Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing, helping us to balance ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: Rei -something mysterious, miraculous, and sacred-and Ki -the energy of the universe. The Japanese words Reiki can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe, which sustains all life.

Reiki can be complementary to other therapies, improving the results of any medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, such as those from chemotherapy, surgery and invasive procedures.
Reiki has also been used in conjunction with psychotherapy to improve the healing of emotional trauma, depression, stress and other issues. Its wonderful benefits include a balancing of one's energies, reducing the negative effects of stress on the body. Reiki leaves a person feeling calm, relaxed and energized to meet the challenges of daily life in a balanced way.

Other strategies included in Reiki sessions can be aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, music and gems. Aromatherapy utilizes the sense of smell to relax the client with scented oils, such as lavender, citrus, mint and a multitude of other beautiful scents. Only the finest quality oils are used during sessions. Hypnotherapy is utilized by the Reiki practitioner who has been certified in using specific verbal strategies to create a very relaxed atmosphere so the client can access deeper levels of consciousness to get in touch with his/her creative subconscious self and achieve goals otherwise difficult to master. (I call this Reikinosis!)Music is a wonderful and powerful way to relax. I use music often to create an atmosphere of peaceful introspection in sessions with clients. Gems can also be used in Reiki sessions to increase the beneficial effects of a session. Each gem has its own unique properties to enhance the vibrational frequencies of the client and help with the balancing of energy.
