Custom Search Reiki is a healing approach that uses light touch from the practitioner to channel healing energy to the recipient. Used to relieve physical and emotional pain and to promote spiritual clarity, Reiki also speeds the healing process and balances energy.I am a Usui Method reiki practioner. I personally find reiki one of the most relaxing things you can do for yourself. I have recently dedicated a room in my home exclusively to my reiki practice. Each session is $40 and last approximately an hour and a quarter. You will lie on a massage table and I will do a hands on healing using a gentle, steady touch. (Reiki is NOT a massage!) At the same time I will be using reiki techniques to balance your chakras and connect to you higher self and spirit guides. I use aroma therapy and calming music to bring you into a state of complete relaxation. Reiki is separate from my doula services but may be used in conjunction with pregnancy and childbirth. I am always amazed at the messaged I recieve from the unborn child. I realize that not everyone is comfortable with such "new age" concepts and never use reiki on anyone without their permission.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy). Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the clients energy system (aura). Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of. Mystics in all cultures have talked about the physical universe being made of an underlying form of something, much as modern physics research is now coming to understand the Universe is made of energy which is subject to (or affected by) thought. Just as modern physics says this energy is affected by thought the mystics also say this underlying form is affected by thought, going so far as to claim we create our own reality from our thinking and the thoughts we share between each of us every day. Stop and reflect for a moment. Imagine the implications of the universe around us made from energy which can be shaped and manipulated by thoughts. This is the implication of both Quantum Physics and ancient Metaphysics.

A Reiki healing is very simply performed. The practitioner places his or her hands upon the person to be healed with the intent for healing to occur, and then the energy begins flowing. The Reiki energy is smart since the Universe is a very smart place indeed. The energy knows where to go, and what to do once it gets there. The energy manages its own flow to and within the recipient. It draws through the healer exactly that amount of energy which the recipient needs. All this happens without direct conscious intervention by the healer. The healers job is to get out of the way, to keep the healing space open, and to watch/listen for signs of what to do next.
