What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on healing practice that works with your body's natural ability to heal and restore balance. As a contemplative practice, it creates sacred space for your own innate healing wisdom to emerge.
The word "Reiki" means "universal life energy" in Japanese. It's based on the understanding that a loving, healing energy flows through all living things, and that this energy can be channeled to support healing and wellbeing.
How Reiki Works
During a Reiki session, I place my hands gently on or slightly above different areas of your body. You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. The experience is:
- Gentle and non-invasive - no pressure or manipulation
- Deeply relaxing - many people fall into a peaceful, meditative state
- Individually experienced - you may feel warmth, tingling, or simply deep peace
- Spiritually nourishing - creating space for renewal and restoration
What Reiki Can Help With
People seek Reiki for many reasons, including:
- Stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
- Grief and loss
- Physical pain or tension
- Sleep difficulties
- Spiritual dryness or disconnection
- Life transitions and changes
- Support during medical treatment
- General wellness and self-care
Combining Reiki with Other Work
Many people find that combining Reiki with spiritual direction, grief support, or Enneagram work creates deeper, more integrated healing. The gentle, non-verbal nature of Reiki can complement and enhance other forms of spiritual and emotional work.
