Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that supports balance in the body, mind, and spirit. It works with the body’s natural life force energy, which flows through the energy pathways in the body, and through the energy field surrounding the body. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions.

When this life force energy becomes blocked or disrupted often due to stress, emotional strain, or negative thought pattern the body’s natural balance can be affected. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

During a Reiki session, healing energy is gently channeled to help clear energetic blockages and restore the natural flow of energy. This process can help promote deep relaxation, emotional balance, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Reiki practitioners are trained to access pure life force energy from its source which flows through all living things and do not share their own energy with clients. This balanced energy is offered through a set of hand positions with the practitioner placing hands lightly on or off the body. Clients are fully clothed and there is no use of oils or massage techniques during Reiki.

Whether experienced in person or at a distance, perceptions vary from person to person. Reiki treatments typically induce deep relaxation, a sense of peace, and a "glowing radiance" as energy flows through the body, helping release tension, fear, and anxiety. Experiences are personal, often including feelings of warmth, tingling, floating sensations, or visions, with many clients feeling refreshed and balanced afterward.

Relaxation is most commonly reported—both in the session and after. Other common outcomes are feeling lighter, unburdened, less pain, refreshed, and a more positive and balanced outlook.

Positive effects take place on all levels—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Emotional Release: Reiki encourages the release of tension, anxiety, and negative emotions, often resulting in a state of peace and well-being.

Seldomly, we may feel moody or have physical symptoms such as a headache or tiredness indicating a healing reaction. Generally, this cycle of processing and release resolves within a couple of days as we shift into an improved state than prior to the Reiki treatment. If you experience any discomfort, please remember this is actually a positive sign that much healing is taking place.

Your Reiki practitioner may make recommendations as a result of your session. Common suggestions range from a week, two weeks, or longer. Ideally, regular sessions are part of your regimen to help support maintaining balance and wellbeing.

Please remember that it takes time for imbalances to occur and manifest, so it is understandable that multiple sessions may be the most beneficial in reversing these imbalances.

Reiki is absolutely safe because it is a practice based solely on life force energy which is naturally inherent in all living things. It cannot do harm and is safe for babies, children, expectant mothers, people of any age or state of health, plants and animals. Reiki practitioners do not prescribe substances nor interfere in any medical treatments. Reiki is a complement to traditional care and never a replacement. Reiki is a safe, non-invasive method that acts as a complement to conventional medicine, focusing on reducing stress and supporting overall health.

Reiki is a complement to traditional medical care and we do not promote it as a cure for particular diseases or conditions. However, patients receiving Reiki often report an easier time coping with medical treatments, pain reduction, a more positive outlook, and an increased ability to handle stress. These effects can support a person on their healing path and enable their own bodies to respond more positively to medical treatments. It is for these reasons that an increasing number of healthcare facilities are promoting Reiki through their own programs.

Traditionally, Reiki has been taught in person. However, it is now possible and completely effective to hold Reiki Certification classes online with the appropriate technology and methods. After all, Distance Reiki works just as well as in-person Reiki sessions so there is no valid reason why training over distance would not be completely effective either.
