Reiki is an Energy work modality that originated in Tibet, but was rediscovered in Japan. It is the channeling of Universal light energy and directing that energy to where it is needed so your energy system may be a more conducive environment for healing to occur. Reiki is considered an alternative, complementary approach, and does not replace the need for traditional medical care through your physician or licensed professional.
Reiki is very relaxing and feels amazing to receive, but it’s so much more than that!
What is actually happening is that we are working with the energetic level, which is said to be the origin of any issue/imbalance/ailment or illness. The Chakras are the energy existing within the body, and through the different energies of the Chakras, we are able to access the higher qualities of our being. They each represent something different and are correlated with a different color. The Chakras receive the health of our environment and are affected by anything at their particular vibratory level. Our environment includes anything we eat, drink, think, watch, the people we’re around, etc. Throughout our life, we are exposed to many different environmental factors (including traumas, cultural conditioning, etc.,) and sometimes this can cause a disturbance in our nervous system, or we may unconsciously keep the energy in our system. That dense or stuck energy, if not addressed/felt/acknowledged etc., can affect the life force energy flow and we can then start to experience blockages or imbalances in our Chakras. Reiki can help to facilitate the flow of Ki (life force energy). This flow of energy is what keeps the chakras spinning, and balanced, thus helping to keep us balanced on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Not one aspect of our health is more important than another, and our system is operating as a whole (mind, body, soul, spirit.) I resonate deeply with Einsteins theory, stating that we cannot fix the problem through the same consciousness that made the problem. Therefore, I utilize Reiki to channel in a higher consciousness and intelligence and that has the potential to support the energy flowing healthily in the system again, empowering us to access the higher qualities of our Truer Nature.
If you are interested in understanding Reiki, and these various teachings more in-depth, I highly recommend taking a LEVEL 1 Certification with me. This is not only for people who want to become Reiki healers/Practitioners but for anyone looking to learn their intricate, internal energy system, and the interconnectedness of the WHOLE of your being.
