Frequently asked questions

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life force energy," which is believed to flow through all living things. Practitioners use their hands to channel healing energy into the recipient's body, as well as transmute stagnant energy. This process helps to balance the energetic field and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is a non-invasive, gentle therapy that can be used alongside other treatments.

Reiki has numerous potential benefits, including promoting deep relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety, boosting the immune system, aiding in pain management, improving sleep quality, and supporting emotional and spiritual well-being. It can also help to balance energy, release blockages, and enhance overall physical, mental, and emotional health. Reiki can heal the past, present, and future self.

During a Reiki session, the recipient usually lies down or sits comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near various areas of the body. The recipient may feel a sensation of warmth, tingling, or relaxation as the practitioner channels energy into their body, helping to balance and harmonize their energy. Soft music or calming sounds may be played to enhance the relaxation experience.

During a distance Reiki session, the practitioner and recipient connect energetically using intention and visualization. The practitioner can send Reiki energy to the recipient because energy transcends space and time. The benefits of distance Reiki are similar to those of in-person Reiki, and it can be a convenient option for those who are unable to attend an in-person session.

Crystals are available during in-person sessions only. Each crystal carries its own unique properties and vibrations, which can interact with the body's energy field to bring about healing and balancing effects. Practitioners intuitively place crystals on or near the body, typically in alignment with the chakra energy centers. Crystals are used simultaneously with Reiki energy during a session.

Recipients may feel relaxed, calm, and peaceful, as well as energized or drowsy. The effects of Reiki can be subtle and may continue to unfold over several days. One may feel improvements to their physical, emotional, or spiritual well-being after a Reiki session, such as reduced pain or anxiety, improved sleep, or a greater sense of clarity and focus. It is recommended to drink water after a session.
