Reiki - What is Reiki?

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

Life Coaching - what makes Therapy in Transition different?

Embarking upon the profession of life coaching I realized there were a lot and I mean a lot of other individuals doing this. I had to question what was I going to be doing differently, what was my 'unique' approach going to be for individuals to choose to work with me over anyone else?

The answer was quite simple but it took me a while to come to the conclusion and with some help from my own Life Coach - Laura Rose.

Offering my clients a holistic approach to embracing change. I personally and truly believe for an individual to embrace change they need to embody it as well. I am able to support my clients by having them not just 'chat' through their challenges but to allow their bodies to 'chat' through the change with a combined Reiki and Craniosacral session. The Reiki allows for our 'spirit' bodies to come back into balance and the Craniosacral allows for our 'physical' bodies to come into balance. As well heal on all three levels - spirit, physical and emotional we as a whole being can embrace change much easier.

I found an article on CNN that I thought was really interesting on the rise of popularity of this profession. Even after reading the article and meeting many individuals in the 'coaching' industry I still am confident about my approach and what my unique elements offer.

Thanks for reading ... until next time embrace your inner wisdom.

Namaste,
Karen

A book of interest ...

For my the coaching certification I am being asked to read the book Falling Awake - creating the life of your dreams bu Dave Ellis. I have yet to begin and I need to have four of the chapters read and the questions answered by next Thursday afternoon. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute but oh well.

I have not cracked the book yet but I am definitely intrigued by the statement on the cover which reads: "Immediately after finishing Falling Awake, I ordered one copy for each of my staff so that they can readi it before our next retreat. I expect to make reading this book part of every new employee's orientation. Alex Counts, President, Grameen Foundation USA"

With a statement like that how could anyone not want to at least read the first chapter? I will keep you posted as I delve into the book this evening.

Thanks for reading. Until next time ... embrace your inner wisdom!

Namaste,
Karen
