FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does REIKI work?

Everything is composed of energy! Reiki is based on the premise that there is a life force energy that flows through us. When that energy flows uninterrupted, there is harmony and well being. When the flow is impeded, there is an imbalance which can ultimately lead to illness or emotional afflictions.

A reiki treatment facilitates healing by directing universal life force energy through your energy field, raising your vibratory level, clearing energy blockages and healing energy pathways to restore your body, mind and spirit to a state of balance.

What happens in a typical reiki session?

You lie fully clothed on a table or sit in a comfortable chair while I place my hands on different parts of the body. Hand placement will typically include the head, shoulders and torso, but can also often include the arms and legs. It may be limited to a particular area of the body where reiki energy is most needed.

Most people describe a feeling of relaxation during a reiki session. However, experiences vary from person to person. Some people describe feelings of warmth or coolness or a tingling or pulsing sensation. Others may experience a meditative state or simply fall asleep.

CAN reiki be done without physical touch or from a distance?

Reiki is just as effective without direct touch. Reiki sessions may also be carried out by holding my hands just above your body, or even from a distance. It is possible to conduct a reiki session even if we are in different locations or time zones.

does reiki involve or require any spiritual or religious beliefs?

While reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion, does not have any religious connotations, and does not require you to hold any spiritual or religious beliefs to benefit from a session.
