Reiki is a relaxation technique that originates in Japan that employs Universal Lifeforce Energy to facilitate healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Reiki energy is channeled through the practitioners hands and directed to the body of the recipient. Reiki energy flows where it's needed for the highest good and can never do harm. Though the practitioner is providing an open channel, the recipient takes the amount of energy they feel comfortable with.
The goal during a Reiki session is to create a state of relaxation that allows the parasympathetic nervous system to engage. The parasympathetic is the rest and digest space and the state that allows the body to heal itself. The practitioner is simply opening a channel and holding space, it's the recipient that is allowing healing to occur.
The experience of a Reiki session varies from person to person. Just about anything that can be imagined is considered normal. The recipient may experience any of the following:
Tingles Twitches
Yawning Excessive salivation
Visualizations Swirling Colors
Rising emotions Feeling stuck to the surface
Floating sensation
After a session, the recipient may experience:
Stress reduction Better sleep
Emotional release Relief from physical discomfort
Anxiety decrease Mood boost
All around better feeling existence
Reiki does have a cumulative effect and any sort of regular intervals is recommended. The more Reiki experienced, the deeper the healing will go and the longer it will last after each session.
In my practice, I employ three different types of Reiki. They are Usui, Quantum and Sekhmet Reiki,
Usui Reiki comes to us from Japan. It was founded over 100 years ago by Mikao Usui and brought to the United States by Hawayo Takata. This is the Reiki of pure love. It allows us to address healing at all levels and provides the symbol that facilitates distant Reiki. This is the most common form of Reiki practiced.
Quantum Reiki is a very recent form of Reiki. The idea here is that during Usui Sensei's time, the vibration of the planet and consciousness itself were at a lower frequency than they are now. The higher vibration allows us to access all forms of Reiki energy possible. This system gives us symbols for physical, emotional and soul level healing.
Sekhmet Reiki is based on ancient Egyptian energy work. Sekhmet is a goddess of healing and also a warrior. Sekhmet Reiki allows us to work with the physical form in it's elemental state and carries for deep emotional balance as well as assisting in accessing higher chakras and dimensions.
Using this combination along with high vibrational practices and the addition of 5D Quantum energy allows me the opportunity to follow guidance to so many possibilities that can provide a potent relaxation experience for my clients.
