FAQs
What is Reiki?
Reiki ("universal life force" in Japanese) is a healing practice, used to facilitate the flow of energy to address physical, spiritual, mental, and even financial challenges. Its historical roots lay in Japan and Tibet, primarily through the work of Usui Mikao and his students.
What happens during a reiki session?
A hands-on healing session involves the recipient laying down in a relaxed state, concentrating on a breathe exercise. I'm intuitively guided through several hand positions where the body is open to absorbing Reiki energy. I often incorporate crystal healing to balance the traditional Chakras as well as cleans and heal the recipients auric field. While doing all of this, I intuitively gain information to share with my client once the session is over.
How does Reiki work?
The University of Minnesota scientists theorize that reiki balances a "biofield" of energy. Biofield is a "term medical science has adopted for the intricately layered vibrational energy field that is said to surround and penetrate the physical body." Other practices that work with this subtle vibration of biofield energy include acupuncture, qigong, shiatsu, yoga/pranayama, and Healing Touch Program (accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission of Accreditation).
Where does a session take place?
Reiki sessions are conducted in-person and distance sessions, allowing you to receive Reiki healing from the comfort of your home from anywhere in the world.
Is this backed by any scientific evidence?
The Center for Reiki Research is a hub of medical research published in national journals that show the effects of reiki in treatment of various diseases. In 1999, placebo standardization was introduced to study of reiki, meaning that all studies included tests to show the positive effect of reiki wasn't "just in your head," or the effect of placebo.
When will I see results?
Some of my clients see results immediately, depending on the issue. Other clients take many sessions over months to undo complex and multilayered issues. No specific result is guaranteed. Most clients feel an immediate a sense of well-being, calm, light, and openness, regardless of their original issue.
