Reiki, Huh?

Reiki is a healing modality that I use in my practice to help my clients achieve their health goals. I love Reiki because it gets my clients into a super relaxed zone and that is the place where deep healing happens.

You know the feeling you get when you go for a walk in the woods? No not the adrenaline rush from speeding down a trail on bike or getting to the top of a rock face. The feeling of calm, peace, ease and clarity of being outside walking on dirt, passing by giant trees, breathing in clean air and noticing the little flowers peeking out of the bushes. That is what Reiki gives you, it puts you in a place of relaxation.

I was first introduced to Reiki after I ran out of a house fire in the middle of the night. It was a bit stressful. I had to keep on going to nutrition school, getting my work done, going to my job and writing exams. We were in limbo and sleeping at the neighbours and dealing with other stress due to the fire. Flower essences and a Reiki session helped me, big time.

About Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese relaxation and healing technique. Reiki means Universal life energy. A Reiki practitioner allows the flow of Reiki energy through their body, out their hands and into the client's body. A Reiki session takes place on a massage table. The client is fully clothed and the practitioner uses a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the client's body. The experience is very relaxing and relieving of stress; it is not uncommon for the client to fall asleep.

Benefits of Reiki

During a state of complete relaxation, Reiki can work its healing on deeper levels as it does not require conscious effort to heal. All the client needs to do is relax, be open to receiving the energy and healing and enjoy. Reiki helps to clear blockages within the body's energy systems and meridians for deeper healing. For the purpose of healing emotions Flower Essences work well with Reiki as they help clear specific blocks and balance emotions.

Reiki is beneficial to anyone looking to relax and reduce stress and improve their emotional health. This form of healing is gentle and safe but very effective. It is great for people of all ages including elders, children and babies. Also great for pets!

If you are in Vancouver take advantage of the opportunity for free Reiki at the Westcoast Reiki Centre Spring Fair. For Reiki sessions see my website.
