HOW REIKI CAN SUPPORT YOU...
Promotes Holistic Harmony & Balance
Reiki takes a non-touch approach that seeks to treat the whole person/animal in restoring balance across mind, body, and spirit. This creates harmony and allows clients to feel refreshed, rebalanced, and thrive.
Supports Mental Clarity and Improves Focus
The positive flow of energy and relaxation allows the mind to reconnect to the present moment, release past, and let go of worry for the future. This helps promote calm and positive responses to current situations, people, and circumstances across all areas of life.
Improves Sleep
The majority of clients report feeling deep relaxation after a Reiki session. This kind of relaxation supports our bodies in moving out of a chronic stress state and into a state of rest which supports the bodies ability to get a better nights rest and subsequently have more mental clarity, focus, and heal quicker. It is not uncommon to fall asleep entirely during a Reiki session.
Activates The Body's Natural Self-Heal Rhythm
Reiki supports us in relaxation which help the body return to its natural state. This means that your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, and other bodily systems will improve as a result of this restful and positive practice. This normal balance allows your body to heal itself from within.
Holistic Benefits
Reiki addresses the whole person—mind, body, and soul. This means that the positive energy flow of Reiki is extremely supportive in elevating the client’s mood and general attitude towards life. When we heal, we enter spaces healed, differently, and whole, with the ability to confidently navigate even life's hardest challenges.
Releases Toxins and Supports Immune System
Reiki moves the client out of "fight or flight" stress mode and into the body's natural self-healing "rest and digest" mode which activates our natural ability to self-cleanse of energies, toxins, stress hormones and restore the body back to a natural state of wellbeing. Thus giving the body a natural defense against burnout, fatigue, and a weakened immune system.
ABOUT
THE HISTORY OF REIKI
The history of energy healing goes back many millennia and its techniques are practiced—in one form or another—all over the globe. From Hawaii to Japan, India to Tibet, Brazil to the Philippines, and in ancient Egypt and Greece, men and women have been using their hands to address all kinds of health conditions since the beginning of time.
Many consider Usui Sensei the creator of Reiki and that the word Reiki applies only to the healing modality he discovered and developed in Japan in the early 1900's. However, it may not be that straightforward.
​
-Kristen, Reiki Master Teacher from Palo Alto Reiki
According to Reiki.org, "In considering what should or should not be called Reiki, we must consider that not only have there been many systems of Reiki healing that are original and do not have a lineage going back to Usui Sensei, but that the Reiki energy has been around at least for thousands of years and in fact some feel it has been around since the beginning of time. Reiki energy is something that anyone can make use of and of course, many have, so with this in mind, it appears logical to assume that any system that makes use of Reiki energy can be called Reiki, not just those systems that can be traced back to Usui Sensei."
