What Happens During A Reiki Session?

Quite a bit. Your Whole Self receives energy to use for repairing, assimilating and strengthening.  All the while you are doing nothing more than enjoying the relaxing energy flowing through you. 
Reiki is for people of all ages and those four legged members of the family,
such as man's best friend.



The relaxation of a Reiki healing session, Reiki treatment, allows you to be in the moment of calm.  Balance and harmony can melt away pain and stress as healing begins.

This unique form of universal energy called Reiki travels to the center of the cells, filling them with balance and surrounding the whole person with harmony.  Subtle sensations such as a gentle healing heat going deep within are commonly felt.  However, often clients are too relaxed to notice.  Healing continues for days following a session.

People whose nature is harmonious have the greatest freedom from disease.  Taking time for the relaxation of a Reiki healing session makes perfect sense in maintaining homeostasis of your whole self.  Using Carl Jung’s word “synchronicity”, perhaps there is a reason why you have come to this website.

Extra energy flowing to all your cells also places your body in a position to better fight off diseases and recover more quickly from accidental injuries. 

Clients remain clothed.  Because of the deep relaxation that comes with Reiki, a Reiki table is used.  Tissues are not manipulated, and Reiki does not create any need to drink extra water. Inharmonic vibrations (blocks) are brushed away, as your energy field (aura) is cleaned and adjusted.  My hands either gently rest on noninvasive areas of your body, or are held a few inches away -- either way the energy flows. Because three of my Reiki Shihans (teachers) practice what today is called ‘Japanese Reiki’ I use Japanese Reiki techniques.

Nestled in a wildlife habitat my clients are encased in harmonizing relaxation while balance and harmony set in motion the healing process within.  The music from songbirds in spring/summer gives a prelude to the healing experience.

My clients often schedule monthly Reiki sessions simply to maintain homeostasis of their whole self.  Sessions are also a peaceful break from the often-hectic pace of life.

Reiki will not cause any harm to any person or animal receiving; Reiki only flows as much as any cell can hold at that time.  Reiki travels to the root of what is causing the illness and the healing begins there. Emotions can cause physical illnesses.  Blocked emotions are released if needed, but in the way that is right for you at that time. 

We hear about techniques that "get to the heart of the matter"; Reiki goes to the core at all levels.  The only requirement of the client is to lay back and enjoy the positive energy flowing into her or his whole self.  The universal law of attraction is no secret, so think what extras being in a revitalizing and centering session will bring to you. 

 



The most common thing clients say is how incredibly relaxed they become. While Reiki is flowing, brain waves slow down into deep relaxation patterns.




Reiki helps in those areas listed on my What is Reiki page.



Others say how grounded and clear-headed they feel following a session.




Reiki enhances a person’s awareness in such areas as sight, sound, smell, and taste.  It can relieve congestion in the head and chest, and helps to drain both sinuses and ears.





Reiki can help a new mother renew her vitality and experience a calming sensation. Reiki will flow to both mother and child when sessions are given during pregnancy.




Headaches commonly vanish during a session.



Reiki replenishes personal energy creating a renewed vigor for life.  



Chronic pain often vanishes for two to four days following a session.  Regular sessions are perfect for enhances a person’s awareness. 




Reiki speeds the healing of both physical and emotional traumas.
Licensed medical professionals do Cranial Sacral Therapy and Somato Emotional Release.  Reiki gently allowed to flow through the cranial cavity feels wonderful and has the benefits of both of these treatments without any of the risks.

Each person is unique and I honor that uniqueness by fitting each session to that individual.

 

Sometimes an illness is within a person for a long time before it shows symptoms.  Such illnesses take time to heal and more then one session may be necessary. A person’s cells are always in control. Only as much energy will flow as the cells can hold at a given time.  Once that energy has been used then it is best for the cells to have more energy with which to repair, remove, and rebuild. 

Disclaimer

Reiki does not replace professional medical care.  It is recommended you see a licensed physician or licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological illness you may have.  Neither Reiki practitioners nor Reiki Teachers can diagnosis or prescribe anything.  Reiki never interferes with the treatment of a licensed medical professional, but complements all healing modalities. No Reiki practitioner of any level diagnoses any illness unless he or she is a licensed professional medical care person.

Everything that is happening within mind and body, and all around any life form requires energy. The second characteristic of all ecosystems is that they require energy.  My favorite from the scientific world is the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules that contain the right amount of energy to do the job needed and can be recharged many times before recycled -- Reiki is one of ways in which ATP molecules can be recharged.  

The fee I ask for a full Reiki Healing Sessions is $50.00.  With a booking of five full sessions, the fifth session is at no charge. I also ask a lesser fee for mini Reiki Sessions, but full sessions are more beneficial.  If a healing journey into the past, or herb consultation is included with the Reiki session the fee increases appropriately.

I usually sit a few minutes with a client to answer questions.  However, knowing the reason you have come for a session is not necessary. The energy that flows through me knows where to go and what to do when it gets there.  Reiki heals in the way best for each individual. A diagnosis with Reiki is never needed.

 


Reiki promotes and speeds healing to the mind, body and spirit.  Healing the whole person is important. Think how many illnesses are linked to stress.

In one of my articles posted on Ezinearticles “The Past Cannot Be Changed, but Today Can.", I explain how Reiki can lift a person out of those emotionally bad times.    ‘The mind is the master and the body follows.” -- Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto 2003.

In the safe relaxed state of a Reiki session, Reiki treatment, brain waves slow down and the mind becomes clearer.  Things can be seen in a different light.  Tension headaches vanish as possible solutions to challenges appear.

The positive energy flowing supplies your inner healer with the energy needed so foreign microorganisms can be conquered and healing can begin. Your immune system strengthens allowing greater ease in fighting off illness.

Breaks from chronic pain give you renewed energy at all levels.

Reiki healing sessions are perfect before holidays, big events, celebrations, and any time you simply would like to be at your best.  Your mind calms and becomes less erratic.

Reiki eases depression, insomnia, lack of confidence, addiction and fear-based illnesses.

Deprogramming or positive reprogramming your thought process can be done if discussed before the session. I have also seen this happen without any intention.  Reiki cannot be directed but various Japanese techniques can be used. 

There are many different philosophies about the therapeutic action of Usui Reiki Ryoho in the professional medical community. When Reiki has been added to medications and treatments, many pleasant effects have been documented.

Reiki often corrects an imbalance in the early stages before symptoms show and the imbalance turns into a serious illness.  Following trauma, and medical treatments the mind and body are often disconnected. Reiki reconnects mind and body

Multiple sessions are great because each is relaxing and feels wonderful rather then feeling like an unwelcome treatment you must have.

The relaxation of a session helps with the side-effects of disagreements with your parent(s), brother(s), sister(s), friend(s), teacher(s), child(ren), spouse, landlord, or boss. Reiki supplies you with the positive energy to once again feel OK with the world.

Clients tell me simply being in my healing room nestled in a wildlife habitat is a welcome peaceful break from the hectic world. 

When studying the spiritual practices of Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki you are shown how to accept people for who they are, and to appreciate them for the positive qualities that are a part of their nature.  Trying to change a person into how we think he or she should be is the same as trying to direct universal energy in that it creates inharmonic vibrations. Inharmonic vibrations are detrimental to both personal and work related relationships.  The studies of Japanese styles of Usui Reiki Ryoho include complementary ways to achieve happiness.


Reiki has been used to help in/with hospital emergency rooms, operating rooms, organ transplantation care units, pediatric, varying cancer treatments, neonatal and OB/GYN units, and other related areas.

To save space I will list the conditions to which Reiki cannot give balance and harmony.

  1. There are no conditions to which Reiki cannot give balance and surround with harmony.  
  2. What is in balance and surrounded with harmony heals.

Reiki does not mask symptoms.  In some conditions, it does not heal in the way an individual thinks healing should happen. Reiki promotes healing of the whole self in the way that is best for that individual at that moment in time (now).  Now is important because that is always the moment you are living in.

Healing is a natural process that is within everyone, and Reiki awakens and gives energy to that process.  Some illness medical science states at this time cannot be cured.  Reiki helps to control pain and to allow happiness to happen in those cases.

Using as an example spinal cord injuries and diseases, and head/brain injuries. The person may never go back to the level of physical or mental activity he or she enjoyed prior to the injuries. Reiki balances in a way so that now/today that person can feel healthy even with limitations, and smile at life.
