Reiki Energy Healing

Chances are unless you have previously had a Reiki treatment, you have a lot of questions.  I know I certainly did!  Let’s start then by having a little discussion, shall we?  (Scroll down for a list of upcoming Reiki classes.)

What is Reiki?  Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of holistic healing. It is Universal Life Force Energy used to promote healing.  A Reiki practitioner assists clients to heal themselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically by simple laying on of hands or visualization techniques.  Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being to the recipient.

Why is Reiki a part of JoyfulArts Studio? The therapeutic benefits of art have always been at the core of my teaching here at JoyfulArts Studio.  I see Reiki as another tool to help heal myself and others in Mind, Body and Spirit.  Combining Reiki energy healing with visual journaling and expressive painting has helped myself and my clients to more quickly gain confidence, move through illness, difficult emotions and life transitions.  

What are the benefits of Reiki?  One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the bodies natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. When we are relaxed, stress-free, we are able to restore our natural ability to heal.  Recipients report their experience of Reiki includes increased energy, reduction of pain, deep relaxation and a general feeling of well being. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

How does Reiki Work?  The body is composed of energy.  This energy makes up the body, and also pervades it in more subtle forms. How free flowing this energy is corresponds to the health of the body, as well as the state of emotions and mental activities.

Isn’t this a little Woo Woo?  YES!  If the definition of “woo woo” is something that is out of the ordinary, something we can not see and something that is difficult to understand, Reiki certainly fits the bill.  (But, it works!)  Luckily science, especially the field of quantum physics is starting to bring clarity on how energy and energy healing works.   

“The best minds in science, including Albert Einstein, struggled to understand what energy really is and how the various forms of energy relate to each other. 

Reiki and other forms of hands-on healing are another form of energy medicine based on scientifically measurable energy fields emitted from the healer’s hands.” -James Oschman 

Deepak Chopra has said “Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level.  Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy.   Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong.  So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body.”

What should one expect in a Reiki treatment?  Since Reiki is a form of energy healing, treatments can be performed in person and long distance.  

• Hands on sessions typically last about 60 minutes with a short period before and after for discussion.  The client lies fully clothed on a massage bed or Reiki table.  The practitioner then will gently place their hands over the body from head to foot, stimulating the energy.  Often a treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you or a feeling of warmth.  Flexible pricing and discounts available. Please contact me for details.
• Distance sessions are available for those who are unable to meet in person either because of distance or physical limitations.  These visualization treatments generally last about 20 minutes.  It is recommended to give yourself at least 45 min so that you can be fully relaxed before and after the session.  Similar warm, tingling sensations are associated with the distance sessions as in hands on sessions.  One is left feeling peaceful, calm and centered. Flexible pricing and discounts available. Please contact me for details.

What are my credentials?  I have received a degree of Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui Method of Natural Healing as taught by Reiki Master Teacher Dr. Meta Porter, Ms.D.
