What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that translates to mean “universal life energy.” Also known as Chi or Qi, this is the life force that flows within us and determines our state of health. Think of it as the Wi-Fi signal of your body—sometimes it's strong and clear, and other times, it needs a little boost. We use Reiki to channel the body’s natural energy through light touch. It’s not a massage, but a deep relaxation process that helps promote physical healing, clear the mind, and balance emotions. It can even aid in self-exploration and discovery, helping to bring our body and mind into a harmonious state of being. Reiki is great for short-term stress reduction and relaxation, but its beauty lies in the fact that it treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.
What is a Reiki Treatment Like?
Imagine a warm, cozy blanket of glowing radiance wrapping around you—that's how some people describe a Reiki treatment. Others might feel a gentle coolness or tingling sensation. Some lucky souls even take a nap! There are many ways to experience it, and every session is unique. What we do know is that Reiki works by inducing a deeply relaxed state so your body and mind have the space to heal and restore. It’s simple, natural, and safe, and carries no religious dogma. So whether you feel like you're floating on a cloud or just taking a quick snooze, Reiki has got you covered.
A Reiki session can evoke a variety of sensations and feelings, often creating a deeply relaxing and peaceful experience. Here’s what a Reiki session might feel like for the recipient:
Initial Relaxation:
As the session begins, you might feel a wave of calm washing over you. The soothing environment, gentle music, and the practitioner's calming presence help you settle into a state of relaxation.
Deep Relaxation and Calm:
Many people enter a state of deep relaxation, akin to a meditative state. Your breathing may slow, and you might feel as if you’re drifting or floating.
Emotional Release:
Emotions can surface during a Reiki session. You might experience a sense of emotional release, where feelings such as sadness, joy, or relief come up. This is often accompanied by a sense of catharsis and cleansing.
Mental Clarity:
As the session progresses, you may find your mind becoming clearer and quieter. Thoughts may slow down, leaving you with a sense of mental clarity and focus.
Spiritual Connection:
Some people report feeling a sense of spiritual connection or heightened awareness. This can manifest as a sense of unity, insight, or a deeper understanding of oneself.
Peace and Well-Being:
By the end of the session, you are likely to feel a profound sense of peace and well-being. Many people describe it as feeling "light" or "renewed."
Each person’s experience with Reiki is unique! Sensations can vary widely from session to session. The overall aim is to promote relaxation, balance, and healing, leaving you with a sense of harmony and well-being.

What in the heck is Distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki is a form of energy healing that allows a practitioner to send healing energy even when you are not physically present. This practice is based on the principle that energy is not confined by time or space, making it possible to transmit healing energy across distances.:
Distance Reiki is valued for its flexibility and ability to provide healing across barriers of distance. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals who are unable to attend in-person sessions due to physical limitations, geographical constraints, or during times when direct contact is not possible.
