What is Reiki?

Reiki has become a more known practice in Western Society, over the last two decades it has grown in popularity.

What is Reiki?

The word itself broken down means universal life force, something that is not physical.

“Rei means universal, omnipresent – present everywhere at the same time. Esoterically Rei means spiritual consciousness, the omniscient wisdomfrom God or the higherself.

Ki is the non-physical vitality that gives life to all living things. Many cultures understand and recognize the importance of Ki energy and how it impactsour lives and well-being.”

Our Ki energy is very important, as mentioned about it impacts how we live and feel. Everyone has the ability to channel this energy or receive it. In both scenarios the person has to be open to receive it.

Why receive a Reiki treatment?

Energy is universal and there are many beliefs within spiritual practices or cultures, on what it is or how we can use it for healing. Energy is constantly moving in our bodies, there are times when our energy gets stuck and chakras become unbalanced. This can be for many reasons, events in our life, thoughts, lack of movement or even what we consume can impact or energy. A trained Reiki practitioner is able to channel the energy that is needed to help balance the person on the table. Most people leave a session feeling relaxed, lighter and even emotional.

What to expect from a Reiki treatment?

Reiki treatment if you have never had one, generally begins with a bit of conversation, this is for a few reasons. First it is important for the practitioner and the client to get to know each other, second the session should be explained so the client understands what is about to happen and third it may help to ease any nerves or answer questions. For many a Reiki session is very relaxing but there are times the unknowing can make a person uneasy or nervous. Honour how you feel in the moment, you may share this with the practitioner or you may choose to keep it to yourself. Either choice is perfectly fine.

(It is important after a session to stay hydrated, rest, journal and being very patient with yourself.)

The first session is always so magical, but the follow ups really begin to connect the dots on what areas of your life may be impacting your energy. Every part of our body is connected to our energy, and generally has a specific underlying issue/event. An example if we look at the whole body our right side is our feminine and left is masculine, any issues in the right knee can represent a lack of trust in ones’ spiritual path and intuitive abilities. It could be connected to your need to control all the outcomes in your life, fearing and distrusting the unknown.

Reiki is a powerful tool, that can be used to help us understand how we live our lives and what we need to focus on to grow and learn through our journey. Interested in experiencing a crystal infused Reiki session there are 30 and 60 minute offerings. If you feel called to look deeper into your ability to work with energy on April 30th I will be offering Reiki Level 1 training at The Aura House in Brampton. https://www.divinelunahealing.com/service-page/reiki-level-1?referral=service_list_widget
