WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese method of energy healing, intentionally channeling Universal Life Force energy. The term “reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Others believe this to be Universal Source Energy of Unconditional Love. Regardless, Reiki is not connected to any particular spiritual sect or religion. We are all Life Force Energy and every material or living thing is energy. A healer attuned to Reiki just means that individual is trained to intentionally channel the purest life force energy for the sake of supporting and aiding one's innate healing.
In the simplest way to explain the origins of Reiki healing - Reiki is a teaching originally founded in the early 1900's by Mikao Usui, a Japanese monk who, on his own spiritual quest, had a spontaneous spiritual experience while meditating in the mountain for 21 days in which he was attuned to the sacred Reiki symbols and how to use them. From there he had the ability to aid healing in others using these powerful energies in a manner similar to what has been described in the stories of Jesus. Master Usui passed along the attunements and teachings in three levels to selected individuals who also passed them along to their students. Reiki helps aid healing on the following levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual to assist an individual to align with their optimal state of well-being and vitality. The sacred symbols assist with healing in the past, present, and future on all energetic levels. The energy healing provided is very unique to each individual. Energy healing can only occur at the level that one is ready and open to. No harm can occur from the energies and only allows for your highest good and the highest good of all, but it is important to note that whenever you are engaging in energetic and spiritual healing you may experience intense sensations or experience various other shifts in health states as you are clearing unwanted energies. And at this juncture in time, energy healing is still considered an experimental practice even though research has been and is still being done. There are occasionally some instances where Reiki is not recommended and I may decide this with you if that were to arise (during episodes of active psychosis or possible concerns 1 and 2). It is important to remember that healing occurs in stages. Imagine the layers of an onion, peeling away one at a time allowing for a gentle unfolding for greater integration and personal alignment to your most desired life and greatest capacities for functioning. Here is a site I found that provides a great and much more thorough explanation of Reiki.
Many in-person Reiki Sessions occur by a "laying of hands", in which energy work is done by a provider placing hands on various parts of your body's Chakra points or energy centers. It is important to me that you have full permission to decide where and how this occurs and we will discuss your level of comfort with touch prior to beginning any healing energy work and you will be walked through this prior to beginning a session. Reiki energy can be provided without touch at all (using "hovering" of the hands) and you can decide the level of space you need during a healing. We all have varying levels of comfort with touch and closeness. In our society we are often touch deprived and great comfort and stress relief can occur in the physical body with a light or gentle touch. Touch will never occur over private or sensitive areas or areas deemed by you as not comfortable and will be discussed prior to every session.
My wish is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more energized, at peace, and with a deeper sense of connection with your true Divine self.

I feel honored to be able to share Reiki with those of you who do not live where I live and with greater flexibility. Sacred symbols used in Reiki collapse time and space, reminding us all that we are all truly from one Source and in Truth time and space do not really exist, but are constructs of our Human experience. On the Soul level or rather, energetic level, time and space are obsolete. This is the essence of the Distance Reiki session. The power of the distance healing is also so fun! The collaborative energies and information that can come through between the two of us, despite distance, is incredible and blows me away every single time. Reiki energy always shares what is most needed for your healing at this time in the way that you can receive it best, whether it is a message, an image, a guide, a sensation, a thought, releasing of emotions, deep rest, increased energy, or general overall relaxation. Anything that occurs is always in your highest good.
Here's what you can expect - You and I will decide on a time for the healing. It works best if you can have a quiet space to either meditate, sit in silence and rest, or be able to be present enough to attend to your own body, emotions, sensations. Healing will occur no matter how aware you are, but if you can be attending to your own self, you will likely gain more insights and awareness than you would if you were occupied. Sessions can occur virtually via my HIPAA compliant video platform (doxy.me) if desired. Otherwise, I will let you know when I begin - likely via text and/or preplanned future time decided together - then I will begin the healing, which often lasts approximately 1 hour. When the healing is complete, we will chat by phone for about 15-20 minutes about what came up during your healing, both for you and what came through on my end. OR if you prefer, I can send an email with what comes through during your session. If you decide you'd like the distance healing to occur during a virtual video call, we can discuss what comes up throughout the session. The information that comes through for me comes in various forms: a knowing, a sensation, an image, emotion, and affirmations or guidance. Sometimes I can see ancestral patterns that get embedded into your energy bodies and the Reiki energies help to release them. Most of us often carry emotional and behavioral patterns, traumas, and fears in our energy bodies and DNA, sometimes these energies do not actually belong to us; whether carried through our ancestral line or picked up from those around us. There is exciting science being released that has proven this. Wouldn't it be nice to learn how to notice this and let it go!? When you are ready please let me know and we will schedule your healing!

When you arrive at the clinic, you will be given initial consent paperwork to complete (please arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled session to be able to finish this in time or request it by email prior to your appointment. I will chat with you for a bit and prepare you for your Reiki healing. If intuitively guided I may use some oracle cards to highlight some areas of need or support. You will be guided to lay down on the Reiki table, but if you are not comfortable lying on your back you may sit in a chair. Next, I use my pendulum to check your chakras for how your energy is flowing. After, I will provide you with the hands on healing that is traditional of Reiki and other forms of energy work (if you are not comfortable with hands on healing, I will hold my hands as close as you are comfortable with, you will still receive the same level of healing whether I am touching or not). At times I may move my hands along your energy field just outside your body or use breathwork techniques for moving energy and may guide you to do the same depending on your situation. You may feel my hands get really warm (like a heating pad), or sometimes cool, other times you may feel an intense pulsing energy, tingling, twitching, or bursting sensations. Even if you do not sense anything, healing is still occurring, not everyone feels energy in these ways. Most people leave a session feeling an overwhelming sense of peace and relaxation. Others may feel an increase in energy or clarity. Each experience is unique to the individual. Just as with a distance healing, information may come through in various ways: a sensing, a knowing, images, or thoughts that drop in. For some, the healing energy continues for a period of time after the actual healing and a general sense of clarity and peace can unfold. Reiki has been shown to decrease stress, release energy blocks, release pain, and enhance overall ability to feel relaxation.
"Just for today, I will let go of anger. Just for today, I will let go of worry. Today, I will count my many blessings. Today, I will do my work honestly. Today, I will be kind to every living creature." ~Mikao Usu
