Reiki Energy Healing

What is Reiki?

The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means "Spiritual or Universal" and (Ki) which means "Energy." Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing. It emerged in Japan in the early 1900s and involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner's palms to their client. Every living thing is made up of this universal life force energy.

What is the process?

A Reiki practitioner gently moves their hands just above or on the client's clothed body, helping reduce stress and promote healing by encouraging a healthy flow of energy. Reiki opens an energy channel between the practitioner and the client so the transfer of healing energy can flow, restoring the client both mentally and physically. The Reiki practitioner does not cause the healing, nor are they the source of that healing energy — they are merely a channel for the energy to flow.

How can Reiki help me?

Research suggests that Reiki helps your body return to a state of relaxation, which allows it to heal from damage brought on by stress, injury, or disease. There is evidence that suggests if Reiki is used as a complementary therapy with other standard medical techniques, it can help people recover after surgery and manage symptoms of cancer and other diseases.

Will it cure my disease?

Keep in mind that Reiki is not a cure for a disease or illness, but it may assist the body in creating an environment to facilitate healing. Reiki should never replace conventional health care, but rather accompany it. Reiki is used to alleviate physical, emotional, and spiritual distress brought on by a specific disease. Please see your medical physician if you are ill.

What can I expect in a Reiki session?

A typical Reiki session lasts between 30 and 90 minutes. At The Energy Alcove, I offer a short Reiki support session at the end of the coaching session. This helps support your energy so that when you leave, you not only have clarity and actionable items to work on — your energy also feels balanced.
