Reiki for Relaxation, Balance and Self-healing

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction that promotes relaxation, balance and self healing administered by laying on hands. The word Reiki is made of two Japenese words – Rei which means God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power and Ki which is life force energy. The trained Reiki practitioner then, such as myself, is a conduit of Reiki, God’s wisdom and life force energy by laying on hands.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit; creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

Reiki for Balance & Self-Healing

While Reiki is being administered by laying of hands on the body there is an overall response as your body shifts to parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) response. This balances your whole system. When your body is balanced, your own self-healing ability is at its ultimate best.

When the PNS is dominant, the body is in rest-and-digest mode. This means its priority is to recover, to heal, to deeply nourish and restore itself. The body knows well how to do these things, but our busy lifestyle tends to keep us in the reactive sympathetic nervous system (SNS) mode, where the body’s priority is just to get through the day, coping (fight or flight), not healing. That can cause all kinds of havoc on the body promoting disease and pre-maturing aging.

Our bodies simply cannot cope and heal at the same time. It’s fight/flight or rest/digest — not both at the same time.

Are you tired of feeling stressed, exhausted or strung out? Functioning in fight/flight on a daily basis? Is your recovery from an illness or surgery happening at a snail’s pace? Perhaps you have an upcoming surgery, and you want to prepare yourself for a speedy recovery? If so, it’s time for Reiki and I would be happy to be your practitioner.
