What is Reiki?

Reiki, originating from Japan, serves as a method for alleviating stress and fostering relaxation, while simultaneously encouraging healing. Administered either through direct touch or from a distance, it operates on the premise that a vital "life force energy" flows within us, sustaining our existence. When this energy is diminished, susceptibility to illness and stress increases; conversely, higher levels correlate with improved well-being and happiness. Serving as a straightforward, organic, and secure approach to spiritual healing and personal enhancement, Reiki is accessible to all.

Are there any side effects to Reiki?

Typically, individuals undergoing Reiki treatment experience a sense of relaxation and upliftment. However, there are instances where they may encounter what's termed as a healing crisis. As the individual's vibrational frequency rises, stored toxins within the body are released into the bloodstream for filtration by the liver and kidneys, and eventual elimination from the system. During this process, one may experience symptoms such as headaches, stomach discomfort, weakness, or intensified emotions. In such cases, it's advisable to increase water intake, opt for lighter meals, and prioritize rest. This cleansing of the body is a positive aspect of the healing journey. Usually, energy levels rebound within a day or so, but in rare instances, healing may take a few days to a week.

What are Chakras and why do we need them balanced?

Chakras are believed to be energy centers within the body according to Hindu and Buddhist traditions. There are typically seven main chakras aligned along the spine, eight depending on who you ask, from the base to the crown of the head, some in our hands and feet. Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual qualities.

The concept behind chakras is that when they are open, balanced, and aligned, the energy within the body can flow freely, leading to a sense of harmony and well-being on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. However, when chakras are blocked or out of balance, it can result in physical ailments, emotional distress, and a feeling of being disconnected from oneself or others.

Balancing the chakras through Reiki is believed to promote overall health and vitality by ensuring that the energy centers are functioning optimally and in harmony with each other. It's thought to bring about a greater sense of wholeness, balance, and alignment in one's life.

What should I do to prepare for a Reiki in-person?

Please arrive a few minutes early to make sure you locate the place. It’s best to have on comfortable clothing with no jewelry. The address will be sent to you once the appointment has been booked. I’m currently located in Fair Oaks, CA.

What should I do to prepare for a Distant Reiki session?

Reiki is a powerful form of energy healing that transcends physical boundaries. Energy is not bound by time or space. With that said, energy knows no limits. Whether you’re miles away or just around the corner, distant Reiki healing allows you to experience the same deep relaxation, healing, and energy balancing as an in-person session.

What to Expect:

1. Before the Session: I will send you a text when your session is about to begin. You don’t need to be with me in person for Reiki to work. Energy is not limited by time or space, and it will flow where it is needed most.

2. During the Session: I recommend finding a quiet, comfortable place where you can lay down and relax. I will be focusing on clearing blockages, balancing your chakras, and promoting healing. You may experience warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, see colors, in which energy is flowing, or even emotional releases—everyone’s experience is unique. Be open and willing to receive the effectiveness of the energy transfer.

3. After the Session: Once the session is complete, I will send you a follow-up text with any insights or messages that came through during the healing. You may feel refreshed, lighter, or notice shifts in the days to come.

What happens during a Reiki session?

Before beginning the session, I seek the recipient’s agreement, ensuring they are open to receiving Reiki healing. This consent allows the energy to flow freely and effectively. Once confirmed, I initiate a prayer, calling upon our guides and angels to create a protected, sacred space for the session. I also invite the recipient’s energetic presence, strengthening the connection across time and space.

With intention, I attune myself to the universal life force energy, preparing to act as a channel for healing. Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful practice designed to restore balance and harmony on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Each session is a unique experience—some may feel warmth, tingling, or a soothing wave of relaxation, while others may simply feel a deep sense of peace. Regardless of sensation, Reiki energy intuitively flows where it is most needed, supporting the recipient’s highest good.

What happens after a Reiki session?

Following a Reiki session, the recipient may experience a variety of responses as they integrate the healing energy. Typically, they may feel deeply relaxed, calm, and rejuvenated. 

After the session concludes, it's essential for the recipient to take some time to rest and hydrate, allowing the healing energy to continue its work within their system. They may also engage in self-care practices such as journaling, gentle stretching, or spending time in nature to further support their well-being.

Some recipients may experience emotional releases or insights in the hours or days following a Reiki session as their energy continues to rebalance and realign. It's important for them to honor any emotions that arise and to practice self-compassion during this process.

I often recommend avoiding heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol immediately after a session to support the body's detoxification process and to maintain the energetic shifts initiated during the session. Drinking a good amount of water is recommended to stay hydrated after a session.

Overall, the period following a Reiki session is an opportunity for the recipient to nurture themselves and to integrate the healing energy on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It's essential for them to listen to their body's needs and to honor their healing journey.
