What is Reiki?
Reiki is a healing Japanese technique said to help with stress reduction and relaxation. It is based on the idea that we all have a life force energy. In Chinese medicine, they call it Chi/Qi. In Christianity it is called the Holy Spirit. In yoga, it is called prana. We work through the energy body to bring life force energy into balance.
There are a lot of skeptics out there on this topic, and I wanted to bring some situations to light.
Energy is real and energy doesn’t lie.
Have you ever walked into a room when two people were just fighting and you can FEEL the tension in the air? Have you ever been around someone and noticed they drain your energy? Or even the opposite, when you feel refreshed and energized when you’re around certain people? The people who make you feel happy when you see them. Or when you’re walking on the street or at a store and see someone who gives you the heebie jeebies? What about the power of a really, really, long hug after a hard day?
Within and around your body, you carry a certain energy.
What makes that energy up, are the chakras.
7 Chakras
Chakras are tied to certain emotions and these chakras (energy centers) can be underactive, balanced, or overactive. And depending on the chakra and the energy of it, these emotions may manifest in the physical and spiritual body.
Example of Chakra’s in reality
The Heart Chakra. Located around the heart/chest.
When it is underactive, we are antisocial, judgmental, we feel lonely and depressed, and fear relationships.
When it is balanced, we are compassionate, loving (of SELF and others), empathetic, and peaceful.
When it is overactive, we may struggle with setting boundaries, we may become clingy, jealous, over sacrificing, demanding, or co-dependent.
Heart chakra imbalances can show up in the physical body as upper back and shoulder problems, as well as arm and wrist pains.
Think about when someone is really hurt and how their chest caves in. They hide their heart. Caging it. Protecting it. Which then can cause shortening of chest muscles, lengthening the muscles in the back of the body, causing pain in between the shoulder blades.
When Reiki is performed, we work to balance the chakras.
How does a Reiki session work?
The practitioner (me), will place her hands on/around/above the energy centers in the body. Channeling good, healing, and intentional energy to pass through the client. Some may say this is devil work, or place their misconceptions on this healing modality. But I know what I believe in, and I try to channel whatever my client believes in. I try not to get too involved in religion, as these sessions are always to serve your highest good. I don’t DO any “healing.” I have never claimed that and I never will. This is your body doing the work. I just facilitate it. I provide a safe space for your emotions to surface in the energy body and pass on healing energy to you to help bring the energy centers back to balance.
Is Reiki like massage?
While the reiki practitioner works with the energy body by placing her hands on/around/above the energy centers, she does not necessarily work WITH the physical body. It is not massage in the sense of physical manipulation of tissues. I will be providing stand alone reiki services for those who are feeling they need more energy work, and/or a combination of massage with reiki so you can get the best of both worlds. Some practitioners (not licensed in massage) may do simple things like scalp or hand massages. It all depends on who you go to.
My Reiki Story
I became attuned to Reiki I in February 2018 through Becky Brooke (Illuminate Reiki Studio in Davenport, IA). I have waited a long time to offer this service because I wanted to go in and study more about energy on my own. I needed to sharpen my own intuition about others and get familiar with working on clients for massage and studying how people carry their “pains.” A sort of secret mission, if you will. Getting into my second year of massaging, I’ve had quite a few experiences while massaging that made me realize I can’t ignore the power of energy healing any more. I have had people cry on and off my table because of emotions. People’s memories have surfaced. I have had people see colors, and people who normally talk go completely silent when I start working on certain areas. I have taken on clients emotions, as well as their pains. There is great power in human touch and human connection. I am a firm believer in that. And I hope to share that with those who are willing and ready to open up their energy to me.
