USUI/HOLy FIRE REIKI
“Reiki” (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy, and also describes this system of natural healing. Developed in Japan in 1921 by Mikao Usui and brought to the United States in 1938, Reiki is a light touch healing technique which gently facilitates each person's own ability to find and maintain balance in body, mind and spirit. Often known as a spiritual healing practice, Reiki helps each person to discover meaning and purpose in life, often serving as a bridge to a better connection with yourself and others.
Every aspect of your life may be enhanced, whether you want to maintain a healthy state of wellness or you are facing the physical and emotional challenges of a life-altering disease.
The technique is based on the belief that there is an energetic flow in and through all living things. When this energy is low or blocked, we are more likely to get sick and feel stressed. The Chinese intention of “moving chi" to bring harmony into the body is also the foundation for the proven modalities of acupuncture, acupressure, tai chi, and qi gong. A Reiki session restores this flow of energy, naturally helping the body's own innate ability to rediscover wellness.

What can I expect in a session?
During a Reiki session, energy flows from my hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The client remains fully clothed. I place my hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies somewhat from person to person. However, feelings of deep relaxation are usually felt by all. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.
