What is Reiki?

Reiki is an opportunity to settle and make contact with your own Universal Life Force Energy. As the practitioner, I have been trained to be present with and help reflect this energy into your being, guiding or inviting it to be with you using my hands placed on or near the body. As you rest on the table fully clothed, you do not have to believe in it, do anything, or breathe any particular way. Your body will respond by turning on its parasympathetic response- the "rest and digest" part of your autonomic nervous system. This activation may help you fall asleep during the session and your imagination may come online in an almost dreamlike state. You may feel subtle sensations or not feel anything at all. The reiki reminds your body and spirit how to receive and bask in the glow of this life energy. From there your body will know just what to do to bring restorative or healing processes into action that are unique to you. Most people experience a deep sense of rest, calm, or ease during and after the session.
