Have you ever wondered how we heal? What is happening when we begin to feel better and move away from the effects of life stressors, trauma, hurt, and pain?

There is a part within us where wellness resides, and we are completely balanced. This part is our foundation—our healthy selves, our spirits, our souls. Each life experience builds upon this part—whether it has been positive or negative. As we progress through life, our foundation can become buried by our experiences, and we forget that we are balanced and composed of strength and love. Each difficult human experience leads to behavior changes, emotions, stresses, anxiety, depression, and other struggles. This is our human cloak. It surrounds our foundation, our true selves. We begin to identify and define ourselves by our experiences and not our foundation. When we remove this human cloak, we reveal wellness and perfection.

During a Reiki session, drawing this foundation forward empowers the healing process. Because it is our true selves, filled with compassion, wisdom and love, it can heal us to the greatest capacity. This is powerful! Reiki is a spiritual practice; it puts us in touch with higher wisdom. Both clients and practitioners often have the same experiences during the session—seeing the same visions and receiving the same messages.


How is Reiki given?


It can be sent by distance or in person. Sessions begin with clients setting intentions for their healing. Clients do this in their minds or verbally. Without knowing the client’s intentions, intuitive Reiki practitioners can connect to higher wisdom and direct the Reiki energy to where they know the client needs healing!


What can Reiki help?


Reiki helps with modifying stress, anxiety, mood, energy, sleep, trauma, physical symptoms, and situations. It balances the body and chakras—the energy points in the body where energy moves in and out. They can become blocked with life experiences and physical ailments. At the beginning of the session, practitioners check these chakras intuitively by feeling the energy or with a pendulum. This is fun for clients, as they learn about their own chakra energy. Each chakra is connected to a physical and emotional part of us. This will make sense to clients because the imbalances will reflect their struggles.


During the session, clients rest peacefully and often fall asleep. Practitioners place their hands gently on or over them. For distance Reiki, the practitioner utilizes special techniques to send it. Reiki continues to heal for many days after the session has been completed! Clients notice a difference, not just immediately following the session but for days to come.


How does this healing energy do its magic?


Currently, we are unable to answer this question scientifically. Reiki energy connects to the universal life force, and engages our spirits and souls to heal us. As a Reiki practitioner, I do not call myself a healer, I am merely making the healing possible by giving Reiki to connect to the person’s soul to do the healing. There is however, exciting scientific evidence now showing the positive effects of Reiki. Science is proving what we Reiki practitioners already know; Reiki heals!
