Many of my clients had no idea what Reiki was when I first began practicing this treatment and in the area that I live, it was considered "voodoo"..so to say the least, it was very hard to find away to explain this amazingly beneficial treatment in a way that did not spook them off.
Many times I preformed Reiki with out them even knowing I was doing it during a facial or reflexology session. Many times I would get a response like "WOW you have magic fingers" or "I have never had a more relaxing treatment". Little did they know I was preforming "voodoo".
Ok so what is it?
Reiki is an ancient form of healing traced back to the Japanese developed to relax the body, reduce the effects of stress and promote natural healing.
The techniques to preform Reiki are based on the principle and belief that the body has an energy force that flows through the body. By harnessing this energy a person can be healthier, relieve stress, and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
The word Reiki is made from two separate Japanese words; ‘Rei’, and ‘Ki’. These two words translated literally mean, ‘Life Force Energy’, and ‘Higher Power’. Which is why Reiki is summarized as a spiritually guided force of energy.
It’s still hard to explain exactly what Reiki is and how it helps people. As with most forms of alternative medicine there are plenty of non-believers but I am finding more and more people now opening up to alternative methods to healing.
During a session the client lies comfortably while the practitioner works in the clients energy field not even needing to touch the client. I tend to focus a lot on the chakras but all practitioners are different.
Benefits of Reiki are:
Stress Reduction
Detoxifies the body
Accelerates natural healing
Removes energy blockages
Relieves pain, stiffness and tention
Relieves emotional wounds
Improves concentration and mental clarity
