What is Reiki?

Reiki, originating from Japan in the early 20th century, is derived from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning universal life, and "Ki," meaning energy. Together, Reiki translates to "universal life energy." At its core, Reiki is founded on the belief that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living things, connecting us to the world around us.

The Reiki energy is intelligent and intuitive, naturally flowing to areas where it is most needed. It works to restore balance and harmony on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels by clearing blockages and promoting the body's natural healing process. Through this process, Reiki induces a state of deep relaxation, allowing the recipient to release tension, stress, and negative energy. This relaxation facilitates healing on multiple levels, promoting overall well-being and vitality.

What to Expect During a Reiki Session

Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome into our peaceful healing space. You'll be invited to settle onto a comfortable massage table, fully clothed and ready to receive the gentle healing energy of Reiki. The Reiki session will begin with the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or just above various parts of your body, starting from the head and working down to the feet. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation as the Reiki energy flows through you. As the Reiki energy works its magic, you'll likely enter a state of deep relaxation, akin to a meditative or dream-like state. The practitioner may intuitively adjust their hand placements based on the flow of energy and any areas of tension or imbalance they sense in your body's energy field. Trust that the Reiki energy knows exactly where it needs to go to support your healing journey. As the session progresses, you may experience a sense of rejuvenation and renewal, both physically and emotionally. Clients often report feeling lighter, more energized, and more centered after a Reiki session. After the session, we'll take a few moments to reflect on your experience and discuss any insights or sensations you may have noticed during the session. You're welcome to ask questions or share any feedback you have. To support the integration of the healing energy, we may provide you with some gentle aftercare recommendations, such as drinking plenty of water, practicing self-care, and taking time to rest and reflect.

What is a Reiki Massage?

Reiki massage is a therapeutic session that combines traditional massage techniques with the healing energy of Reiki. During a Reiki massage, the practitioner seamlessly integrates Reiki energy work into the massage session, enhancing its benefits. The session typically begins with the application of traditional massage techniques, such as Swedish or deep tissue massage, to relax muscles and alleviate tension. As the massage progresses, the practitioner incorporates Reiki energy by gently placing their hands on or just above the client's body. This allows the Reiki energy to flow to areas of tension or imbalance, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. By combining massage therapy with Reiki energy work, the practitioner addresses both the physical and energetic aspects of health and wellness, providing a holistic approach to relaxation and healing. Each Reiki massage session is tailored to the client's individual needs and preferences, ensuring a personalized and rejuvenating experience.
