There has been a few times recently I've been asked about my Reiki energy work approach. I think many people have misperceived ideas about Reiki. Some, because the Reiki practitioners that they have been to are “ungrounded” others, may think it's a form of black magic and will go against their current religious beliefs and I think, even more people don't understand how it can be helpful once they hear it's done "off the body".
My Approach
So I am writing to tell you in short, my approach to Reiki energy work and you can choose if it is right approach for you.
I want to start by saying Reiki is a form of universal divine healing energy, it can do no wrong/harm. Because Divine energy is only meant to bring you closer to source and love.
When a Reiki practitioner begins a session, Reiki energy flows from the Divine through them, to the client as long as there is a sincere healing content. This Energy then travels to where the body needs it.
Trust is key. Just as if you were to trust in the power of grace and love. This is what helps the energy flow and heal the client. So I am not really doing anything, I am just utilizing my knowledge and training and Grace does the rest.
Reiki is a nonreligious practice but is a spiritual one. We are all connected and I believe we are living to grow closer to our true nature, that every moment is Grace trying to wake us up from the delusion of Ego and suffering. You are welcome to believe whatever you want to believe and I think this enhances the healing even more.
During a session I start with a silent intent/prayer for healing to my client, I sweep the energy body feeling and listening, cleaning out any unwanted stagnate energy in the Aura. Next, I go to different parts of the body, lightly touching or over the body and let reiki energy flow into the client. I end the session sealing Reiki Energy around the client and sometimes incorporate a singing bowl or tuning forks and other bodywork modalities they signed up for.
What to expect
Some people wonder what they will feel during a session. Some will feel energy in various parts of the body, warmth, twitching responses, emotions may come to the surface either during session or after. Some have visions but none of these are anything to be concerned about or over think. It is important not to become attached to sensations that you are feeling or not feeling. Simply noticing, feeling and letting go is the best most effective healing approach. Many people just feel more relaxed and happy after session.
Reiki gives us chance to give simple loving nonjudgmental attention to the body. Even if you don't believe in Energy work this alone is healing, it calms the nervous system promotes relaxation and a calm mind.
My goal is to have you feeling more grounded then when you walked in. Connected to your body and capable of living a healthy balanced life outside of my office.
