I thought I would give everyone a really quick overview of what Reiki is; this is one of the three elements which make up each coaching session for our clients. The following information is found throughout the internet.
Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. There are two components which make up the word Reiki - Rei = is universal, transcendental spirit, mysterious power, essence and Ki = vital life force energy. Depending on the training received there can be at least 8 hand positions and as many as 15; the practitioner will spend a varying amount of time at each position. During the session there is no need for the client to remain awake and often clients will fall into a deep meditative state and wake feeling refreshed. We always recommend after receiving a treatment for the client to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins which have been released during the treatment.
Some of the benefits which our clients have commented back to us with are they feel more energized, have more clarity on life's mission, and more in balance with themselves and their surroundings.
The following are two most frequently asked questions:
Q: Is is like a massage where I need to disrobe and do you put your hands on me?
A: No, you are fully clothed on the table. Sometimes my hands hover over your body, sometimes they are placed using a very light touch - think of a penny, and sometimes they are put under your body. It really depends as to what is happening within your body and system.
Q: How long is a session and how often do I need to have a session?
A: A session for Reiki lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. How often you need a session again is personal to you and is different for each client. Some people come weekly, some bi-weekly, some monthly, and some just a few times a year.
You can learn more about Reiki on our website - www.therapyintransition.org by clicking on the Reiki Presentation link on the right hand side of our website. Or you can always email and call us too!
It is important to remember the Reiki practitioner is only a facilitor and does not impose any 'healing' or changes on you and your body but only empowers the body to take advantage of the safe environment in which to heal itself. There of course are not guarantees with any type of treatment and practitioners are quick to recommend medical support when a client feels there is something greater or deeper happening within their bodies.
Thanks for reading and until next time ... embrace your inner wisdom.
Namaste,
Karen

Recreation's purpose is not to kill time, but to make life, not to keep a person occupied, but to keep them refreshed; no to offer an escape from life, but to provide a discovery of life.
mind body shop ... wonderful words. Thank you for sharing them with us. Namaste, Karen
Hi Karen, I was interested to read about the reiki practice. I love receiving regular massages, but have never tried reiki. I do believe in "right people, right energy;" so imagine that if practiced by the right person, it would be pretty transformational!
Cheers, Colette
