reiki_hand_pink.jpgThe touch of a human hand is among the most healing of all sensations.  Infants cannot thrive without human touch, children require touch for proper develoment, and even adults crave touch throughout their entire lifespan. Reiki energy flows through the human hand to soothe and nurture the body, heart, mind and spirit. Wherever it will do the most good, Reiki energy flows effortlessly there. Reiki energy is pure, flawless, unconditional, safe and effective.

Although most clients prefer the Reiki practitioner to place their hands upon the body, when this might cause any concern or discomfort, it is not necessary. Hand placements vary from touch if desired, to rising slightly above the body without touching as you are seated comfortably in a chair or reclining on a massage table, fully dressed. Your comfort is paramount and your wellness the only goal. Please always discuss all aspects of your care with your Reiki Practioner whose only purpose is to help you heal and grow healthier, more vital, clearer and happier.

Reiki treatments support your body's own ability to heal itself, and to re-balance on every level. It is the client's intent to heal, along with the practitioner's intent to be a pure and open channel for the Reiki energy to flow that provides the dynamic for healing to occur. The beneficial results have been documented in many studies.

The perfect complement to conventional medicine, which treats a patient by responding to a set of symptoms, identified from the results of testing protocols, as well as patient history, Reiki energy works at the level of the body's underlying energy field. Symptoms are produced as an "early warning system" that the body is out of balance. The result of a Reiki treatment on the energy field of the body is re-balancing and revitalizating, re-energizing, enabling the body to begin to heal itself, something our bodies have been designed to do and do very well when our energy field is strong.

Whether your symptoms are the result of stress, mental/physical fatigue, or illness, you can participate in your own healing at the same time you experience deep relaxation, allowing your body and mind a respite while the Reiki energy flows to the cause and begins the process of restoring you to the balance of health and vitality that nature intends for all.

Reiki has been studied by the NIH as well as many other major medical institutions, including the Mayo Clinic, is used in many hospitals and hospices and does no harm.  It has been documented to reduce stress and anxiety, speed the healing processes, and is a soothing human touch when touch is desired.

Anyone can learn to use this unconditionally loving energy that heals and empowers self and anyone can empower others either through the use of Reiki or learning to teach. As you experience the many gifts of Reiki, you will find yourself sharing these gifts with others without a thought and loving how it makes you grow and heal in so many ways. It is my goal to share Reiki with the world in every possible way I can, so if I may help you, you have only to ask.
