I get this question all the time! Melissa, what even is Reiki?
Simply put, Reiki (Ray-key) “Rei” =Universal “ki” =Life energy(same meaning as Chi) is a Japanese healing technique with the use of Spiritual guided life energy. Reiki itself is a healing energy that gets sent to different energy centers or Chakras from a Reiki Master Practitioner. Chakras are the main 7 energy centers in your body. They all represent a different color of the rainbow and each relates to a particular set of emotions and physical parts of the body. A Reiki Master is a person who has received the sacred attunements in order to transfer healing energy. You receive the attunements from a Reiki Master Teacher. When learning about this energy healing modality you do become knowledgeable about the Chakra centers from an emotional and physical standpoint.
This is healing energy is sent to help regulate and align the vibration in that area. When a center is out of alignment it can become blocked or overactive. When your energy is in alignment you are functioning at an optimal frequency.
How did I get into it?
I received a Reiki treatment myself during a turbulent time and noticed the benefits of it right away. I felt calmer, I felt the energetic transfer and overall felt more clear-headed. I knew from that experience that I wanted to help heal others and give them that same sense of calm that I felt.
What do I need to know before I go into a session?
Besides understanding what will go on in a session, be prepared to ask yourself these questions; How is your body working(physically)? Where are you at (mentally/emotionally)? What needs to be improved(emotional/physical)? What’s working well?
How will I feel after?
Calm, relaxed, sleepy, out of sorts, buzzed, out of mind exp., separated from your body, chill. Cry after, feel physical or emotional pain release, warm feeling, tingling head from ASMR video.
Remote Reiki Session
Reiki can be sent remotely since energy is fluid (Think of it the same way you would a prayer).
For a remote Reiki healing session, we will meet virtually and discuss any physical or emotional concerns you may have.
I will send healing energy.
Afterward, I will let you know which chakras were blocked or overactive. I will also share any intuitive messages that may have come through
In-Person Reiki Session
The in-person Reiki healing session incorporates my use of an attuned pendulum, sound-healing frequencies, crystals, and essential oils to give a full effect. Basically what happens in an in-person session is you will be laying down with your eyes closed. I place each crystal by the corresponding chakra center. I hold my attuned pendulum over each energy center to see how it is operating. Based on the frequency of the spin of the pendulum I can get a basic outline so I know where to focus more attention on during the session. In the background, I play sound-healing music that plays hz that correlates to each Chakra center that aids in healing. There are also known as Binaural beats. I can also have an essential oil diffusing running in the background if the client is comfortable with that extra feature. I will then lay my hands over the different parts of your body for certain periods of time. I do not touch the client.
Before the client enters the space I make sure to cleanse the area with hz frequencies and by either burning sage or using a cleansing spray. We also chat before to address any physical or emotional concerns.
After the session, I let you know which chakras were blocked or overactive and give tips & tricks for further healing outside the session. I will also share any intuitive messages that come through
Reiki Share
This is another great option if you are new to Reiki and want to try it in a group setting. Basically, what happens is you meet up with a group of Masters and recipients and healing energy is shared in a communal way. This is a great way to get a sense of what the energy feels like. Stick your toe in and then dive deeper, if you will. Sometimes you break into smaller groups and might have more than one practitioner working on you at a time. Or you might be in a circle and have a Master come around and deliver the energy for 1 by 1.
