“Rei” – meaning mysterious, transcendental spirit. The Soul. The Sacred. That which possesses an infinite power. “Ki” – light and energy, something unseen, breath, atmosphere, vital energy. It is the energy of the entire universe.
It’s called Reiki because as a practice it was formally discovered and established Dr. Mikao Usui, in 1920’s Japan. Every culture has a word for “Ki”. It is “Prana” in Sanskrit, “Chi” in Chinese and described as Life Force or “Divine Energy” in English. Reiki exists in all things and is creative intelligence that keeps us breathing. Reiki is the power of intention and also human connection. We are all energy and one energy source has an effect on another energy source. We are Reiki. It is the ‘Universal Life Force’ that surrounds and sustains us all. It is creative intelligence that keeps us breathing, allows our body and everything on earth to grow. Many of my clients have had their own spiritual experiences during the session, as it is a wonderful tool for your spiritual development. It is vital to remember that each session is equally powerful, regardless of the perceived outcome.
How does Reiki work? Reiki works to balance and harmonize the four bodies: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual/soul. While the healing is facilitated by the practitioner in an in-person or distant setting over 45 mins – 60 mins. The flow and effect of Reiki remains much longer after a session. Reiki is a gentle and nurturing form of receiving energy where the client is usually seated or lying down. The client remains fully clothed. Unlike a massage, the Reiki practitioner places her hands lightly on the body (or hovering above the body) allowing reiki energy to cascade to the client. Sessions are typically one hour in length. Clients experience a deeply relaxed state, allowing the body to feel calm and peaceful.
Reiki is intelligent in natures and always supports the client to let go of what no longer serves them. The healing energy allows you to gain clarity and awareness of how you are managing your own energy and then assists you in transforming any blocks, stoppages, limiting beliefs or old emotions that you may be holding within that are keeping you stuck.
Some of the more common benefits my clients experience are:
- Increased relaxation
- Reduced stress
- Feeling “lighter”
- Reduced anxiety
Can Reiki be done from a distance?:
Yes. Reiki works at a distance very well and can be done remotely, anywhere in the world. I will work with you similarly to an in-person Reiki session. We will set up an appointment with you during which time you will relax. At the beginning of the session, I will call or Skype you to check in on what you would like to have worked on. I will then connect with you energetically from a distance. After giving Reiki for a half hour or longer depending on the scheduled session length, I will call you to see what you felt and share what I found and where I treated. The investment for distant Reiki is $30 for 30 minutes and $1 per additional minute. Email Lora at lolovibes@gmail.com to schedule your Distance Reiki Healing session.
If you even have a few minutes, you could work on your mindfulness and breathe in and out for a few minutes. This is a short mantra to help you build your focus. Let's face it, who couldn't use a few moments of breathing and getting more focused.
