Reiki basics; what you need to know
Reiki is a form of treatment that gently places us in a deepened state of relaxation promotes relaxation, reduces stress, enhances our intuition and unearths our emotions by unifying the mind, body and spirit. This enables us to connect more deeply with ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually.
By infusing Acupuncture/Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory with the healing energies of Reiki/ Chakra System, this specialized and unique treatment combination creates a powerful experience for those looking for something a little “extra.”
Our Reiki & Acupuncture Combinations serve as an “explorative experience” into the subconscious mind and the energetic body, while the physical body receives the healing powers of acupuncture.
Many patients will discuss particular themes they are moving through in their lives, personal intentions for change and transformation, support with moving through particular challenges or recurrent patterning, or any emotional aspect of their experience they are hoping to let go in order to thrive within their best lives.
This is an experience for those hoping to explore the deeper realms of their own spirituality and subscious mind.
What can I expect in a Reiki treatment?
During a state of deep relaxation or meditation, brain waves are in their alpha state. When both practitioner and receiver come to this point, brain waves become synchronize and the practitioner is made more aware as to the “energetic flow” of the receiver. Energetic flow merely consists of all movement in the body, be it blood, lymph, cranio-sacral fluid, neural stimulation, etc. Practitioners move their hands over the body, sometimes hovering or gently placing their hands over a specific area to identify areas of strain, weakness or emotional unrest.
Many practitioners utilize the chakra system to highlight imbalances or obstruction in this flow of energy. There are 7 chakras that run the length of the body, each chakra corresponding with different mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects. The goal is to create an unobstructed flow of energy within the body in order to balance and align these chakras.
How do I know if Reiki is right for me?
If you are looking for a deeper understanding of self, a way to connect more fully to your mind-body-spirit, if you are struggling emotionally or are at a turning point in your life and are searching to find your own answers, then reiki is for you.
