Reiki is ‘Universal Life Force Energy’. It is something that everything has. We have it, animals, trees, rocks, the sea etc etc. A Reiki practitioner will have had their ‘energy channels’ aligned by a Reiki Master, which is the process that flows for a channelled Reiki energy to flow through directly. Think of a water tap, and the Reiki practitioner has the faucet on her crown charkra ( head ), and their hands is where the water (energy) comes out. We can control this faucet and access as little or as much Reiki energy that’s released through our hands.
A Reiki session is non invasive, performed over the clothes, with the recipient either sitting or laying down. We place our hands at different positions over the torso / limbs / heart and head; staying at each position anywhere from a couple of minutes to several. A Reiki session will usually last for an hour. Reiki is often finding its way through all of my massage treatments. My clients will often say how warm my hands feel. This is Reiki.
Reiki can be felt as a warm, tingling sensation, or can be felt as cold or nothing at all. Each time you experience Reiki, its different as many factors will shift each time you have a session, such as how tired you are, where you’re at in your cycle ( for women ), what situations may be effecting you externally, how much water you have been drinking etc
Reiki was one of the first modalitys that I learned, 18 years ago. I fell in love with this beautiful engergic healing. My Reiki Master, Gill, is kind, wise, and a wonderful Teacher. I would highly recommend anyone who would like to learn Reiki to go and see Gill
