Reiki
Reiki
is one of the most gentle healing arts available today. Reiki is
a Japanese method that promotes deep relaxation throughout the body
so the body can regain balance and heal itself.
Reiki works with the body's energy fields, and many ancient as
well as modern cultures believe that disruptions in energy flow
can result in disease, or dis-ease. In Reiki, the practitioner gently
lays his or her hands over important energy points on the body or
just above the body. Clients will often experience this energy as
heat, a tingling sensation, or deep relaxation. This infusion of
energy helps to release blockages and return the body to balance.
It is gentle yet powerful.;
Reiki is helpful with both acute and chronic conditions. Results
can be subtle - some people say they didn't experience much during
the session but then they go home and sleep like they haven't slept
in years. Results can also be more dramatic - a client may start
the session in pain and the pain may be totally relieved once the
session is completed. It is excellent for pain control and stress
reduction and is appropriate for anyone of any age. Studies show
it improves immune system and nervous system function, increases
mobility in arthritis, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia, and
decreases use of associated medications as well. Many hospitals
have developed Reiki groups to service their patients, as it has
been found in controlled studies to enhance healing, decrease hospital
stays and decrease medication use. Western medicine often refers
to Reiki as "Healing Touch".
Reiki can be administered in
half-hour sessions (one side of the body) or one-hour sessions
(both sides of the body). Clients remain fully clothed and can
be sitting or lying on the table. Reiki can also be incorporated
with any massage work.
