Reiki Energy Session

A reiki energy session is a wonderful opportunity for healing and balance, however it is not always easy because there is a part you need to play in order for true healing to happen. You need to schedule and show up for the appointment, ask for guidance, give permission to the practitioner, and practice non-attachment to the outcome. Sometimes the hardest part is showing up and asking for help and guidance.  Trust that you are worth it! 

During a reiki session, it is the client's job to relax, breathe, go inward and to let the practitioner do the energy work. The more you can relax your nervous system and body, surrender your thoughts and worries, connect to the moment and melt into the massage table, the greater the impact the session can have on you.

The energy does not come from the reiki practitioner; the energy comes from the universal divine source. The practitioner acts as a conduit, a guide, to help direct and infuse the universal life force energy to your biofield for your highest good. Reiki can be integrated with other healing modalities such as massage, breathwork, acupressure, prayer, meditation, stretching, sound healing, herbal medicine, chakra balancing or psychotherapy.  

Using reiki energy techniques, I detect areas of stress, patterns of dysfunction, or stagnant energy and develop a plan to sync-up your auric field with the physical body then connect to the universal life force. Tapping into this divine flow sends subtle vibrations for neurotransmitters to be released that communicate with the nervous system and brain that trigger a cascade of hormones, or chemical messengers, that promote homeostasis. Reiki energy can work on the auric field layers, the chakras, the physical body via nervous and endocrine systems. I may incorporate additional tools such as crystals, essential oils, incense, or flower essences may be incorporated into your session. 

Interestingly, reiki can be done in-person, distance healing sessions. and even in group energy shares. For reiki shares, check out the events calendar for upcoming information.

For an instant boost of reiki power and well-being, look to the five Reiki Principles to tap into your healing journey.  These core concepts are similar to affirmations or intentions. Take a few breaths and say:

"Just for today, I will live the attitude of gratitude.  

Just for today, I will not worry.

Just for today, I will not anger.

Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

  Just for today, I will show love and respect for every living thing."

These principles can be used as a guide for your thoughts and actions each day to promote spiritual and personal growth. A daily practice can create more balance, flow, positivity and inner peace in your life. It is a key for harmonizing your energy, whenever you want. 

That's right! You have a rainbow protective bubble or shield coming off your physical body called the auric field. Using subtle energy techniques to smooth the auric bodies which activates the chakras to stimulate the glands in the endocrine system to help balance hormones throughout the entire body. 

There are seven layers or bubbles, called bodies, of the auric field which are the ketheric, celestial, etheric template, astral, mental, emotional and etheric bodies. Each of these sub-layers correspond to each of the seven chakra centers along the midline of the body from pelvic floor to top of the head. These are the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. And each chakra relates to a different endocrine gland and hormone(s) in the physical body.  

For example, the crown chakra at the top of the head resonates with the pituitary gland, the master hormone control center of the entire endocrine system in charge of making, storing and releasing eight hormones. The crown chakra energy extends into the outermost layer of the auric field, the ketheric body; its main purpose is to connect you to the spiritual aspect of everything and everyone. The main function of the crown chakra is to connect with your spiritual self and the universal divine source. 

All the levels - spiritual, mental, emotional, neurochemical, physical, energetic - are interwoven so intrinsically that one is always influencing the other while being interconnected to the universal life force. Once one area is smoothed out and balanced, it creates a cascade effect of feel-good-relax hormones that ripples outward to calm and smooth the next area. 

Energy Medicine goes by many names such as biofield therapy, energy healing or subtle energy and is any energetic or informational interaction with a biological system to bring back homeostasis in the organism. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines energy medicine as one of five areas within Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies.  

Reiki healing energy is a type of energy medicine that uses light touch on the body or placement of hands in the biofield or aura which is several inches above the body. This helps to move the vital energy called Qi (chi)  or prana through the meridians or energy channels, balance chakra systems and smooth the auric field. The main function of a reiki session is to tap into the universal life force energy and connect this flow to your personal biofeld. 

Thousands of research articles have concluded that reiki energy medicine is more successful than the placebo effect and has broad potential as a complementary health therapy to reduce pain medication. Studies have shown that reiki promotes a sense of peace, relaxation, security and wellness. It decreases stress, anxiety, pain and tension; improves flow of energy and balance; promotes natural self healing; encourages a meditative state; improves immune function; and increases tissue and bone healing after injury, surgery or trauma.

The NIH has studies indicating that people with specific health concerns such as chronic pain or stress, heart disease, cancer, HIV, diabetes, depression, trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, fatigue syndromes, infertility, cerebral palsy, recovery from stroke or medical procedures, automimmue issues, inflammatory conditions can benefit from energy medicine. 

Other CAM therapies can be integrated into reiki healing; the most common are meditation, breath work, imagery, botanicals, massage, reflexology, acupressure and sound therapy. The reiki practitioner may design a treatment protocol based from healing systems like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine or naturopathic medicine.
