What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is one type of energy healing modality that originated in Japan. It was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, who channeled the techniques after his own spontaneous attunement from God in the 1920s. Reiki promotes harmony and balance on the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. The word “Rei” in Japanese means universe and “Ki” refers to the life force energy that flows through all living things. This universal life force energy is also called “Chi” and “Prana” in other traditions. When this energy flow is low, it can result in depression, physical aches and pains, or illness. If this energy flows well and is balanced, it allows for a happy and vibrant life. Renee was trained and certified in the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage which is a direct teaching line from Dr. Usui.

How does energy healing actually work?

If you consider your body like a river, you can understand that when your body is flooded with Reiki or Prana, (1) the blocks that prevent any flow of water will be removed and (2) the mud from the river bed will most likely kick up into the water. This muddy water can now be cleared away. Similarly, the “issues in your tissues”, which are the emotional blocks stored in the cellular body, can only be released when it rises up to the surface. A relaxing and gentle energy, Reiki flows to areas of the energetic body that have been blocked due to stress. Once Reiki energy is cultivated in the affected area(s), it jumpstarts the body’s natural ability to heal itself, thus restoring peace and health.

Reiki is natural, safe and non-invasive. Given that this life force energy is in all of us right at this very moment, there is nothing foreign that is being added to your body during a Reiki session. A Reiki healing session simply gives you back the amount of life force energy that your body would have normally had if it was not for the stress or other emotional factors that blocked it out.

Most energy healers will tell you that they are not doing the healing. This is true because energy healers simply act as a channel for the healing energy which comes from Source/God. Energy healers simply hold the sacred space and act as a channel for God’s love and healing light to reach the client. It is then that the client subconsciously accepts the exact amount of healing energy they are ready for at that given point in time. The healing energy will work together with the client’s body cells and energy field to clear out what is necessary to bring the client back to balance. The energy has an intelligence all its own and is not guided completely by the healer. The amount of healing that takes place is based on how much the client is willing to let go of old trauma or negative beliefs and how much energy the client’s body can handle at that time. So the answer to your question is that the energy healer simply holds sacred space and acts as a channel for the energy. But the healing itself is between your body, your Soul and God.

How do you send healing energy from a distance (remotely)?

There is no space and time. No past, present or future. There is only the Now (If this intrigues you, consider researching String Theory in quantum physics). All that truly exists is consciousness and energy. Through focused intention, healers are able to send healing energy remotely.

What can I expect in my first session?

Many people report that they feel warmth or tingly vibration over various parts of their body. Majority of clients say they feel a deep relaxation, with some falling asleep during their sessions. However, not everyone has the same experience. Some individuals do cry as emotions come up to the surface during a healing session and others have reported they feel tension as the trapped energy blocks move up from deep in the tissues of the body to surface to get released. Each energy healing session will always reveal unique results and experiences because your own energy field is dynamic; always changing based on your moods, thoughts and feelings. It is best to keep an open mind and hold the intention to receive the Highest healing and Highest good for your Soul’s path.
