Reiki
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force (Rei = universal, Ki = life force). Reiki is an ancient healing therapy with a basis in eastern practices and teachings. Reiki is non-invasive and safe for all ages from premature babies to the elderly and is used on animals as well as people.
Reiki consists of a series of gentle, non-intrusive touches through which the practitioner channels healing energy into the recipient at a deep level. Reiki practitioners believe that energy surrounds and moves through the human body. Reiki works to balance the flow of this energy and stimulate the body’s healing abilities.
Reiki is very simply performed. Sessions generally last from 40 minutes to an hour. The client is fully clothed and lies comfortably on a massage table*. The practitioner’s hands are then placed lightly on or just above the body. The practitioner places his/her hands at the different energy points (chakras) on the body for about 2-4 minutes each (or whatever the practitioner feels is appropriate at the time) working along the front and the back of the body. As the session begins, the practitioner then sets his/her intent for healing to occur and the energy begins flowing through the practitioner’s hands. The Reiki energy is drawn into the client’s body by whichever area feels that it needs the energy. This may be an emotional, physical, mental or even spiritual area. The energy manages its own flow to the client. All this happens without direct conscious intervention by the healer. The practitioner’s job is to keep the healing space open and to watch/listen for signs of what to do next.
*Note: Reiki can also be performed with the client in a chair. In addition, Reiki can be conducted remotely (e.g. another state, in different location) or from a distance (across a room, etc.) depending on the situation.
The Reiki practitioner becomes a channel for the intelligent, healing energy and passes this energy through the hands to the client.
Reiki is a great tool for stress reduction and relaxation. A session is pleasant and relaxing and is often utilized for one's personal wellness.
Listed below are just some of the benefits of Reiki per specific clients:
Reiki is experienced differently by each person as everyone has different conditions. Most clients enter a deeply relaxed state of peace. Clients may feel heat or cold, a tingling sensation or a twitching of a muscle during a session.
A Reiki session is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment that facilitates healing. Reiki is a great tool to use to complement traditional medicine and is practiced in many hospitals and medical care settings. Reiki works in conjunction with all other medical and therapeutic techniques and may assist to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
A Reiki practitioner cannot guarantee or promise a specific result. Reiki is not a substitute for appropriate medical care.
Gail uses her psychic abilities to bring messages from spirit to clients during the reiki session if they so desire.
