The Reiki I practice is a little different from what you may have heard about or are used to. I do "Reiki Readings" which means I may receive some information while working on you that I pass along if you choose to have me to do so.

THE 5 REIKI PRINCIPLES

The secret method of inviting good fortune. The marvelous medicine for all sickness.

 

Just for today:

• Do not irate

• Do not be worried

• Be grateful

• Work hard (on yourself)

• Be kind to others

Every morning and every evening...recite these words aloud in your heart.

 

I have also included below these MODIFIED PRINCIPLES from the International Association of Reiki Professionals because they really resonate with what I work to accomplish with myself and my clients.

 

Just for today:

• I release angry thoughts and feelings

• I release thoughts of worry

• I’m grateful for my many blessings

• I practice expanding my consciousness

• I’m gentle with all beings including myself

Usai Reiki (named after Dr. Mikao Usai who developed or "re-discovered" the Reiki System in early 20th-century Japan) provides a tender, loving touch that can bring comfort, relief from stress, greater energy, stimulating or amplifying healing, past life recall, and enhance intuitive abilities, among other things. Although more randomized clinical trials need to be conducted before this healing modality can be either strongly supported or completely rebuked by the scientific community, it is said that Reiki activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which puts your body in "rest and digest" mode. Most of the time our sympathetic nervous system ("fight or flight" mode) is dominant.  Studies show that cortisol levels in a person measure significantly lower after receiving a treatment. Reiki serves as a gentle reminder to the body of what it means to be stabilized, in alignment with God or All That Is, and more emotionally neutral. (It's the highs as well as the lows that raise cortisol levels. Perhaps this is why Buddism teaches to let go of all attachments.) Reiki is gentle, respectful and effective. It could be considered a form of therapeutic touch; however touch is not necessary, as distant Reiki has shown to be just as, or in some cases more, effective than live treatments.*  

 

There are seven techniques to the Reiki System: touch, massage, tapping, stroking, blowing, gazing and directing energy.  Sweeping can also be employed. I use some or all of these in my treatments. Reiki works on several levels:

• on the physical level through the warmth of the hands

• on the mental level through thoughts and the Reiki symbols that are visualized by the practitioner

• on the emotional level through the love that flows with them

• on the energetic level by connecting with the initiated practitioner as well as the Reiki energy itself.

 

I have also developed my own “Essence of Reiki” - my own proprietary blend of essences and structured water - which I administer before and after each session. 

 

Sessions can be scheduled regularly or as needed, depending on the issue. Sometimes it will only take one session to get you in alignment so that your life flows more in the direction of your desires.  My healing sessions also have the capability to eliminate your desires altogether. Other issues are more stubborn, especially if there are imprints (deep-rooted patterns that alter your original destiny) from childhood or other incarnations, but if healing goes deep enough, it can reset your soul's blueprint. (A note of caution here: a resetting could literally turn your world upside down, depending on how far away from your original destiny you have "wandered". Best to make sure you are ready for change!)  

 

Reiki can relieve pain but even if it doesn't eliminate it entirely, other events in your life will begin to transpire so that you will eventually move into a more pleasant experience, closer to self-realization. For example, if you have a muscular-skeletal issue or are suffering the effects of Lyme's disease, Reiki may not be able to "fix" those directly, but after your treatment you may meet someone who will be able to address them.  Other things will correct themselves over time, as Reiki helps you to allow what seeks resolution in your life to unfold gradually and gently. Although that may seem to contradict what I said earlier about a sudden shift in life events, if that does happen, most likely it's because the client has already been on the verge of  self-realization and the healing just sped things up a bit.  

 

Before each session I say a prayer.  Then I will ask you what’s been going on. I set it up so, as you talk about what’s troubling you, it will begin to release from your energy field. For a complete list of the other tools that clients can choose from to compliment their healing session (or simply enjoy, sans Reiki), please see my About page.  In the Rescue Store, you can also find products to enhance your life and those of the ones you love. Thanks so much for visiting!

 

*Although Reiki works wonderfully in conjunction with medical treatments, it should never be used as a replacement for qualified medical care.
