Reiki is an energetic healing practice that promotes our body’s natural ability to heal through life force energy (also referred to as qi, ki, prana). The “ki” in reiki meaning life force energy.

When we are around someone, their mood is contagious whether it is uplifting or the opposite. Similarly, we all have ki within us, and whether we are conscious of it or not, this flow of life energy is occurring constantly.

The practice of reiki allows us to access and move this life force energy. When we are in a state of harmony and synchronized function across emotional, cognitive centers, and physiological rhythms, we achieve an optimal state of ki.

Reiki is used to treat emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. It can be used on its own, or as a complementarily treatment for relaxation, healing, and restoring energy.

In a session, we start by discussing what’s been going on with you, including areas in which you may feel stuck. I’ll guide you into a meditative state, and then hover and/or lightly place my hands on you gently in the areas I sense tension channeling and facilitating the flow of reiki energy.

During a session, we’ll move into the Alpha (8-12 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz), and at times Delta (.5-4Hz) brain wave states, which support a relaxed, meditative, and deeply restorative state. These states reduce stress, enhance inner focus, and optimize healing, which are different from active Beta waves (12-30 Hz) associated with daily analytical thinking.

We’ll close out with insights and practical next steps.
