Reiki
What is reiki Healing?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art that was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century. It is pronounced ray-key. You might also hear it called Reiki energy, Usui system of Reiki and therapeutic touch.
The Japanese word Reiki means universal energy. Eastern medicine systems work with this energy, which they believe flows through all living things and is vital to well being. The energy is known as 'Ki' in Japan, 'Chi' in China and 'prana' in India. Reiki isn't part of any type of religion or belief system.

What to expect from a treatment
On your first visit, your Reiki practitioner will ask you about your general health and medical history. They will ask you why you would like to have Reiki and discuss your treatment plan with you.
You don’t have to get undressed for treatment. You usually take your shoes and coat off and have it sitting or lying down. You can have your eyes open or closed.
Your Reiki practitioner might dim the lights or play soothing music. They put their hands on, or a few inches above your body. They move their hands across your body, usually starting at your head and working down to your feet, but may focus on particular areas of the body.
The aim is to move and balance the 'energy' within and around your body. And to get rid of any energy blocks to encourage healing and strengthen your energy. You might feel a tingling sensation, a deep relaxation, or warmth or coolness throughout your body. Or, you might not feel anything at all. If you do not feel anything this doesn’t mean the treatment isn’t working.
A session usually lasts between 20 minutes and an hour. You will get the best results from 3 sessions within a fairly short space of time. Then take a break before having more treatments.
You might feel thirsty after a session. It can help to drink plenty of water and avoid strong caffeine based drinks, such as coffee. You might feel deeply relaxed, and resting at home afterwards can help you get the full benefit of the treatment.
Reiki can be sent remotely, over a distance. So you can be in your own home having Reiki from a person elsewhere.

Anyone can receive and learn to give a Reiki treatment.
Reiki is entirely compatible with any other conventional or complementary treatments. In two days you can obtain the skills and attunements necessary to use Reiki effectively for yourself, your family, your friends and pet.
Activation of Reiki within a persons hands is made possible by a simple process called an "attunement". The attunement or empowerment is performed by a Reiki Master during a workshop. It is the attunement which allows the person to tap into and channel the Reiki energy. It cannot be learned from books or just being talked about. Without the attunement you may direct healing energy, but it will not be Reiki energy
No previous knowledge or training is required
To attend the Reiki I workshop. Once Reiki is activated by the attunement process everyone is able to radiate this gentle, nurturing energy regardless of age, experience, background or belief system.
Reiki is one of the most effective natural stress relief and health improvement therapies available
Reiki Practitioners often say that one hour of Reiki is the equivalent of three to four hours deep relaxing sleep.

Reiki Shares
All Reiki LEvels Welcome.
For my students, I host this exclusive share so they have an opportunity to practice.
The share has a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 participants. Each person receives a treatment during the share and will give treatments to 2 to 5 people (depending on the number of participants). Each person gets a chance to play a different role during the share. For example, they may be leading a treatment during the share, which includes providing the invocation for the session, leading the session, and then closing the session; or perhaps, they may be the timer for the session keeping track of time and letting participants know when it’s time to change hand positions.
The monthly share I host is 2 hours long. The first half hour of the share consists of a short round of introductions or if everyone has attended the share before catching up a bit with each other. Then we prepare with a listen guided meditation.
