Reiki: Experience Healing and Radiant Energy

Do you often feel low energy, fatigued, and sluggish? Have you suffered from an illness or a depressed emotional state for longer than you can remember? Consider an energizing Reiki session – either on its own or with your next massage or bodywork treatment. Reiki is a wonderful way to reduce stress and promote relaxation and healing. Who couldn`t use a little less stress in today`s hectic world? What is Reiki? Reiki is an ancient Japanese practice that consists of the gentle "laying on of hands." The technique is based on the tenet that an invisible "life force energy" flows through our bodies, causing us to live and breath. When your life force energy (also called Chi in Chinese Medicine) is stagnant or low, you`re susceptible to illness, fatigue, stress –and a host of emotional problems. When your life force energy is high, you will be calmer, happier and healthier. Reiki aims to restore our body’s energy balance. In fact, Reiki is often called “energy work.” How is Reiki Performed? When done properly, Reiki feels like glowing radiance coursing through and around your body. Because Reiki treats the whole person--body, emotions, mind and spirit— immediate benefits include feelings of security and serenity. A standalone Reiki treatment typically takes 45 minutes to one hour. You remain fully clothed and can choose to sit or lie down. The practitioner puts his or her hands on specific parts of the body (head, torso, back) for about five minutes, allowing for radiant energy to be transmitted. Expect to feel a deep relaxation and sense of peace, unlike anything you`ve ever experienced. Reiki is a perfect addition to a variety of spa treatments. By adding Reiki to a facial or a massage, you can actually accelerate your healing and relaxation. Treatments commonly complimented with Reiki include massage, acupuncture, shiatsu massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, chiropractic and homeopathy. What types of conditions can Reiki Heal? In addition to relaxation, Reiki can help heal common ailments like headaches, anxiety, and the flu. Reiki also helps to lessen the symptoms associated with serious conditions like hernias, cancer, heart disease and HIV. For people who suffer from behavioral conditions like ADHD, bi-polar disorder, and chronic depression, energy work can help in ways that prescription medication and conventional therapy can’t touch. Reiki`s effects include: · Increased energy · Happiness and joy · Heightened state of awareness and emotions · Feelings of serenity and peace · Decreased negative energy and thought patterns · Compliments other healing modalities · Relief for cancer patients. How Many Reiki Treatments Are Necessary? The number of Reiki treatments you need depends on your individual issues and conditions. Some people feel heeled after just one session, whereas others prefer to experience up to 30 treatments. The longer you have dealt with an illness or have been plagued with negative feelings, the longer it will take to release and surrender it. However, if you`re interested in Reiki for everyday energy and vitality, one or two treatments will probably do wonders for your body and disposition.
