More About Reiki

When I became a Reiki Master, I had to gain more confidence in myself. Although, I had used Reiki healing several times over the years, I guess you always “hope” it works each new session as a beginner. When I first began using Reiki I didn’t know it was called that. All I knew was that I was using the energy surrounding me. My husband had leukemia and was in the emergency room with a high fever. The doctors said they had given him all they could and that any more would be dangerous. They had him packed in ice and nothing was bringing down his fever. Finally, they came into the room and let me know that if his fever didn’t break soon it was about to get very dangerous for him. In other words, they really weren’t sure he would be leaving the ER. When all the nurses left the room, I placed my hands on his stomach, I could feel the energy leaving my hands and I imagined the numbers dropping as his fever dropped. 15 minutes later a nurse came in and just looked at me. She was astonished. His temperature was back to normal and he was awake and talking. She got the doctor, he came in and said he couldn’t believe it. He said there was no medical reason for his temperature to completely drop to normal, drop some; yes, but be completely gone, no. He said it was nothing short of a miracle. It was then that I became more interested in the art of energy healing; that was over 20 years ago.

In the beginning I was nervous, unsure, worried that by some fluke chance all the haling I had done on others was merely a coincidence. The problem is that I really don’t believe in coincidences either. Everyone always told me how they could feel the energy from my hands and that they always felt so much better afterward. So, in time I finally allowed myself to believe them and accept that I was helping. Of course, it was not exactly me, but my body as a vessel to be used and gather the surrounding healing energies to project into the other person.

After a few years, I began doing distance healing for friends and family. Again, everyone mentioned how much better the felt afterward. It has only come to my attention recently that I should do this online and share this healing with the world, not just a select few I happen to know. This is also wonderful for pets too. I have found that energy work on animals also does wonders for them as well.

Ok, So What Exactly is Reiki?

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard that question. Well it is very easy and very hard to explain. First, I’ll give you the information I received when reading about Reiki, second, I’ll give you some scientific findings, finally, I’ll give you my personal thoughts and feelings about Reiki.

From what I have read and been taught about Reiki; which means the universal life force, derived from two Japanese word, Rie and Ki. Rei means “Universal” and Ki means “Life force energy”. Reiki is a part of each and every one of us. It is like our DNA, everyone has a DNA code, it’s in our genetic makeup. We are all born with this incredible ability; unfortunately, most us do not know how to tap into this life force. Or it’s ignored and here’s my favorite “I don’t believe in it because it doesn’t exist.” We have turned to “progress” and use harmful medications that we are told work better than traditional medicine. How did our ancestors survive? They used their instincts, they relied on nature and their own abilities to heal.

Where did Reiki Come From?

Mikao Usui, is the Japanese monk that is said to have “rediscovered” or rather was given the knowledge about this ancient way of healing. It is believed that Reiki has been used by our ancestors long before Buddha or Jesus. It has been over two hundred years ago when he developed the Shiki Ryoho Method of Healing. He spent 21 days in a meditative fast on top of the holy mountain of Kurama. After asking God for guidance he was struck with a bright light and knocked unconscious. He experienced the visualization of symbols, symbols and had seen in the Sutras he had studied. He

Mikao Usui

intuitively knew he had found the ancient way of healing used by Buddha and Jesus. He understood the meaning of the symbols and the healing power they held.

When he returned to the monastery from his spiritual awakening he began working with these symbols and healing those around him. He eventually established a clinic for healing and teaching the Usui Shiki Rhoyo method of healing.

What happens during a Reiki Session?

The Reiki Master allows the universal energy to flow through them and into the person receiving the healing energies. It is very similar to hands on healing many of the Christian faith have witnessed. However, with Reiki we are not praying and asking for healing. Instead, we are opening ourselves to the healing energy and drawing it into ourselves and distributing it out to the other person. It is not a “She touched me and I was immediately healed” thing. Although it has happened on several occasions. The energy force is neutral, it may come to some and provide an immediate healing and it may come to others and provide a slower healing. It may depend on the person receiving the healing too. Some may want the healing; but, are still very skeptical and some may want the healing and are very receptive. I personally prefer to place my hands on the area of need. For example, a client with a headache, I would place my hand on the base of their neck and cradle their head in my hands. I have had clients say their headache was gone within minutes after having the pain for over three days.

Distant Healing

Reiki can also be given at distance. Energy can transcend through space just as easily as it can through hands on healing. Quantum physics has proven that we are made of energy and that all things around us are made of energy. Tables and chairs vibrate at a different frequency than say a tree, rock, or animate living creature such as us humans. However, they do still have a vibratory frequency. Just like you may be able to “see” sound waves, they can be measured and are there. This is the same with energy. Energy may not be “seen” but it can be measured and can travel through space and time. Quantum Physicists’ have discovered that energy is made up of different particles and once the particles connect to one another they will remain connected or energetically entangled no matter the physical distance. Energy sent to another individual will forever be connected and can easily be accessed again and again over time.

So, there you have it, the book information, my personal opinions, and the science to back it all up. Now all you have left is to…

Schedule a Reiki session with me!

Every Reiki Master charges differently. I personally feel that Reiki was given to us to help one another. The cost of a Reiki healing session may vary from one Reiki Master to another. I have seen some charge anywhere from $60.00 an hour up into the hundreds and even thousands. It is Universal Energy, that always works for the recipient’s best interest. Trees do not put a price on the energy or oxygen they submit; therefore, I do not believe in putting a specific number on healing. This is not a doctor’s office, I believe everyone should be able to receive healing energy, no matter their financial status. I am not motivated by money and would never refuse sending someone healing energy because they could not pay.

Therefore, my distance Reiki healing sessions, are donation or Love offering based. I ask that you feel free to give what you can, and mostly what you feel in heart is right.

You will notice that distance healing treatments can be very relaxing, I have often heard that people feel a tingling sensation, some feel tired, and others feel more energy. This is personal to you and you alone. Only the universe knows what you need and will provide you with what you need personally. I have also had reports that people felt elated and pure joy some even reported the desire to laugh for no reason other than the fact that they felt so happy or relieved as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. I would love your feedback and welcome any comments you have to share after your session.

You can schedule a session today and try it for yourself! I would love to share this healing energy with you.

Sending lots of love to you all,

What is Energy Healing?

Everything is Energy

All matter, the earth, trees, our homes, and including us, are made of pure energy and we have the science to back it up. According to research conducted by quantum physicists everything is made of pure energy. All matter is made up of particles. These particles are considered the building blocks of matter called atoms and molecules. Atoms bond and stick together forming a molecule. Molecules are the smallest part of a substance that has all the properties of that substance. The atoms that make up the molecules are electrically charged particles. Therefore, all things surrounding us have an electrical charge, including us.

The Science

Ok so here is where it gets interesting. Scientists have observed electrons acting as a wave and as a particle. Waves are capable of transferring energy through matter or space with little or no mass. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium. Energy healing is the practice of sending energy in a wave form. Therefore, the practitioner does not necessarily need to be in a close proximity to the receiver. Reiki or energy healing has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. Most believe it originated in India and the Eastern countries thousands of years ago. Although, it did not get the name of Reiki until a little over two hundred years ago by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life force. The proper Japanese pronunciation is RYE-KEY although many Americans pronounce it RAY-KEY.

Reiki Energy Healing

Rei Means universal or omnipresent (present everywhere at the same time).

Ki is the life force, the nonphysical vitality that is the energy in everything surrounding us.

Reiki energy can be found within all things. It is the connection to the universal energy that is in every atom. The Japanese call this energy Ki, for the Chinese it is Chi, and it has been called Prana in Asian cultures. No matter what you decide to call it, it is a universal energy that can be sent across long distances as well as in a hands-on session that has the ability to heal.

When your Ki energy is low due to stress, depression, prolonged anxiety, etc. this makes you more vulnerable to sickness or disease. Many things can weaken our energy levels. Some we can control, and some are completely out of our control. Most things that effect our energy we can control; unfortunately, we cannot control the air quality around us, the toxins we come in contact with in public places, or our work place. We all must work and not everyone has the opportunity to have a job they absolutely love.

· Anger

· Depression

· Negative Thoughts

· Not Spending Enough Time in Nature

· Drinking Too Much Alcohol

· Drugs Use

· Smoking

· Poor Diet

· Stress

· Poor Sleeping Habits

· Lack of Exercise

· Poor Air Quality

We are all effected by these things in our lives daily. This is why energy healing is important to us. When we receive energy healing from someone they are helping lift those low energy levels and clear blocked areas allowing the body to heal itself. Regular sessions can bring the body and spirit into balance helping to prevent future illnesses and disease.

Reiki energy is sent to individuals desiring to accept the energy from individuals who have learned how to harness this energy and send this energy through time and space. Reiki is a holistic form of healing. It can help heal physical and mental issues. Everyone can benefit from a healing session. However, everyone is different, and the healing energies will affect each person differently. Typically, four consecutive sessions are recommended to improve the flow of energy. It will stimulate the immune system and begin cleansing itself of toxins. Once the poisonous toxins are removed the body can begin re-balancing itself.

There are seven main energy centers in the body that control the flow of the universal life force. They are called the Chakras. Each chakra is responsible for specific parts of the body. When these energy centers are blocked or congested the body becomes sick and the flow of energy is weakened.

Our Chakras are affected by our everyday lives in one way or another. Our thoughts and actions directly affect our chakras in positive and negative ways.

Here are some ideas you can try at home for yourself in between energy healing sessions.

Thoughts Every thought we have affects our energy chakras. Science has proven that thought is an energy form. Positive thoughts affect our energy in a positive way just as negative thoughts affect our energy in a negative way. It has also been shown that negative thoughts can increase free-radicals affecting our physical body. In the same sense that positive thoughts can reduce free-radicals and even heal us mentally and physically. Ever heard of laughter is the best medicine? We can change the physical state of our being through our thoughts alone. Continual angry thoughts will lower your root chakra’s energy.

Nature Getting out and enjoying nature can be very therapeutic. The sun is an important energy source. People, animals, plants, minerals, water and our chakras receive energy from the sun. Just as important is getting outside barefoot and allowing the earths energy to flow through your entire body. Sitting by a brook or body of water also provides us with energy and can open and cleanse the chakras.

Food Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Eat foods that are earth-made instead of man-made. Try to eat fresher organic, non-GMO foods, and pasture raised meats. Canned or pre-packaged foods do not contain the nutrition that fresh food provides not to mention there are no toxins or chemicals used. Try eating foods of different colors.

Meditation Meditation & Breathing. Meditating and visualizing a particular positive outcome is very powerful in balancing the chakras and healing the body. Since thought is a form of energy you can use meditation and visualization along with focused to affect various chakra centers.

Crystals Crystals, gemstones and minerals all have energy. For example, crystals contain a similar crystalline structure as the human body. Crystals amplify energy and can be programmed (e.g. computer chips and watches). Wearing jewelry made of crystals or gemstones can help increase your chakra energy. People often place stones under their pillows for better sleep. You can also hold the stone in your hand while meditating to increase the energy vibration.

Aromatherapy Smells can affect our energy, they have even been used in many cases to help recall a certain memory. Essential oils are the pure essence of the plant or flower. Essential oils have a vibration and energy. They can be used topically to heal wounds, some can be ingested, and all are wonderful in a diffuser. Just be careful to purchase high grade essential oils. Cheaper versions may contain toxins and less of the actual essential oil. Never apply directly to skin unless the label says it is ok. Tea Tree Oil can be placed directly on the skin; however, most all essential oils must be diluted with a carrier oil such as olive oil, coconut oil, or Jojoba oil.
