Reiki Energy has been around for thousands of years and there are many systems of Reiki healing as well. The learnings that I will share come from a style of Reiki called Usui Reiki Ryoho, This Reiki was founded in the early 1900s in Japan by Mikao Usui. His purpose in life was to be a healer and to train others. He asked the question, "Can we achieve a special state of consciousness called An-shin Ritsu-mei?" In this state, one is always at peace regardless of what is taking place in the outer world. From this place of peace, we can then understand and achieve our life's purpose. Prior to Mikao Usui's passing, he asked Chujiro Hayashi Sensei to open his own Reiki clinic and continue to build and expand upon Reiki Ryoho based on his own experiences. Reiki continues to develop and expand to this day. Reiki has been around for thousands of years helping people heal from mental, emotional and physical pain.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It works by channeling Universal Spiritual Wisdom (Rei) and Life Force Energy (Ki) to support the body's natural ability to heal itself. Simply put Universal means that is it present everywhere, and Life Energy is the non-physical energy in all living things. Ki is responsive to thoughts and feelings, so if you have positive thoughts, your Ki becomes stronger and if you have negative thoughts it is weakened. It travels within the body through pathways called chakras, meridians, and nadis, and around us in an energy field called the aura. Organs and tissues within the body can become blocked by negative energy and create health issues until released. Reiki raises the vibrational level in and around the physical body, where negative thoughts and feelings may be attached. This process breaks apart and clears the negative energy, allowing healthy Ki to flow naturally.

Reiki is a combination of energy work and spirituality that uses hand placements to scan the body, including the chakras. There are seven main chakras present in the body. Chakras take the Ki and transmute the energy to help keep us healthy. The seven chakras are Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown. Each Chakra correlates with a layer of the aura which can be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Reiki helps to clear blockages and promote the flow of positive energy throughout the body. Reiki can be done in person or remotely/virtually. Both are effective ways to treat internal blockages within. Energy knows no time or space, so distance healing is equally impactful and often travels quicker. Distance Reiki is a type of energy healing that allows the practitioner to send healing energy to someone who is not physically present. It can be done remotely via phone or computer, making it accessible no matter where you are.

Reiki is intended to work for your highest good. It is a gentle and non-invasive healing method that is guided by the loving presence of spiritual consciousness. Reiki surrounds you with loving, compassionate energy and leaves you feeling calm and relaxed. Reiki can be used in conjunction with other healing modalities. It works in harmony with all other forms of treatment, including medical and psychological care. It is not intended to replace your medical care, a doctor, or your therapist. It simply can be used in combination with them if you feel it is beneficial to you and what you need. Reiki is spiritual in nature, as it promotes love and compassion, but it is not a religion. Some people may find that Reiki enhances their religious or spiritual experience, but it does not require any particular belief system. Anyone can learn and practice Reiki, but it is essential to be trained and attuned by a Certified Reiki Teacher. The attunement process enables you to channel Reiki energy effectively.

Reiki has helped me to find connection back to my mind, body and spirit especially during times of stress, tension or worry. It has had a profound impact on transmuting any negative energy I may have whether it comes from mental, emotional or physical pain and clears it restoring me back to balance and peace. It has been instrumental in helping me connect deeply with my own intuition, body and heart and that led me to become a Certified Reiki Practitioner and Master. I am dedicated to helping individuals remove internal blockages, heal from past traumas, and cultivate a life of fulfillment and peace to create a world where everyone feels safe, loved and empowered to live their authentic life. It's okay if you don't believe Reiki can work, you don't know what you don't know. I recommend giving it a try at least once so you can learn about it for yourself. Reiki promotes natural healing and cannot do any harm, regardless of your beliefs.
