Reiki & Energy Healing
 
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It is a 5,000 year old practice that is used to increase positive energy flow in a person and to unblock energy that has become stuck in certain areas.   Energy that remains blocked can cause a disruption in a person's "Ki" or life force, making them more suceptable to mental, emotional, or physical illness.  It can cause problems in virtually any of the systems of the body or issues emotionally such as anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.  Reiki works to correct these imbalances, helping to free the person from this blocked energy.  

Science tells us that along with our physical bodies, we are also made up of energy that although most of us can not see we can feel.  We get energy from the food we eat, the water we drink, and the sun.  We also know that we can give our energy and take energy from the people we souround ourselves with and from the thoughts that we have.  When somone is not saying good things to us or about us that is negative energy and we can feel that.  It makes us feel bad both emotionally and even physically it can be draining.  When we argue with someone it is the same thing.  On the flipside,  when we are around someone who is positive that feels good and uplifting.  Overtime our energies can become blocked if we receive too much bad energy or if we are giving away too much of our own energy and not replenishing any for our selves.  Blocked energy can also come from a traumatic experience either in our current life or in the past.  Leaving this energy there creates a weakened sytem of not only the physical body but the emotional, mental, and spiritual as well.  It is Easter thought and philosophy that tells us when one part of the system is out of balance the other parts become vulnerable as well.  

Reiki helps to replenish positive energy and unblock stagnant energy making the person feel more energized, balanced, calm, and centered.  Many times during a treatment, a client may have a release of emotions from a past or current situation that he/she is dealing with.  This release can feel wonderful knowing that it is cleansing and will no longer affect you in the same way.  If this happens I will be there to help you process your emotions and work through whatever you are feeling.  My degree in psychology helps me to guide those who are seeking more of a deeper personal growth. 
Reiki is done fully clothed useing gentle hand movements either touching the body or hovering right above the body.  Every person feels Reiki differently.  Some people feel it as warmth, others as tingling, and many feel a euphoric feeling come over their body.  Before the treatment we have a consultation to go over what to expect and if you have any goals for self-improvement that I could focus the energy on.  Reiki is best done in a series of treatments until the desired results are acheived.
