What is Reiki and how can it be used to improve your life?
As a certified Reiki Master and Teacher here in Charlottetown, PE, I am excited to share with you just exactly what Reiki is. (And as for how you can use it to improve your day-to-day life? Well, I have solutions for that, too!)
Together, let’s explore the ins and outs of Reiki – and all that it can do for you.
What is Reiki?
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words: Rei, which means "universal and omnipresent," and Ki, which translates to "life force energy."
Reiki is an ancient Japanese stress reduction, relaxation, and healing modality. It is administered by a skilled practitioner channeling the universal life force energy through to you via near-body contact; this is most commonly done by the practitioner hovering their hands above key points of the body.
What does Reiki feel like? Recipients talk about experiencing a “radiance” that flows through and around them – targeting body, mind, and soul. It is a safe, natural, and holistic method of spiritual healing and physical relaxation.
What Are the Benefits of Reiki?
Through my work with clients, I have seen Reiki energy healing:
Help with depression and improve overall quality of life through addressing poor sleep patterns, low moods, and negative self-image
Help resolve chronic headaches, insomnia, nausea, and/or tension
And improve lower back pain, anxiety and fatigue, and post-delivery discomfort – both physical and emotional
What to Expect From a Reiki Healing Session
For those who haven’t been to a Reiki healing session before, you probably have a number of questions like, “What should you wear? How long will it take?”
I offer Reiki sessions in both 30, 60 and 90-minute increments, either online or in-person. For online sessions, it’s recommended to set up your device in a quiet, dimly-lit room free of distractions or other people. For in-person sessions, it is recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing, take off all accessories (namely jewelry and watches), and turn your phone to silent.
Before your first Reiki session, I will talk you through the process, discuss expectations and intentions, and will allow you to ask any questions or discuss any concerns you may have.
For in-person sessions, you will be asked to lie down on the treatment table before being covered by a blanket. There will be soft ambient noise playing in the background to lull your senses into a complete state of relaxation. The energy channeling process will then take place in soothing silence.
It is not uncommon to experience heat or tingling on or around the areas that are being treated. After a session, you may feel either calm or energized – but feeling tired isn’t uncommon depending on how much energy has been channeled. It’s advised to re-hydrate after each session, whether it be in-person or online.
