FAQS

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing developed by Dr. Mikao Usui. The word "Reiki" can be broken down into two Japanese words: "Rei," which means universal, and "Ki" or “Qi”, which means life force energy. When this energy is flowing smoothly, we tend to feel healthy and well. However, when it's blocked or disrupted, we may experience stress or illness.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner lightly places their hands on or near the recipient's body. They focus on channeling positive and healing energy through their hands. This energy is believed to flow into the recipient, helping to clear any blockages and promote relaxation and well-being. By balancing and enhancing the flow of life force energy (Ki/Qi), the body's natural ability to heal itself is stimulated.

Practitioners go through various levels of training and receive attunements to become trained and skilled in channeling healing energy into the recipient's body through their hands. It's important to note that Reiki is considered a complementary therapy and should not replace conventional medical treatment when needed. Many find it to be a soothing and relaxing practice that complements their overall well-being.

To get the most out of your experience, please consider the following items before your session:

-Make a list of your intentions for the session. What do you want to achieve through Reiki? For example, physical healing, balance, or spiritual growth, finding your purpose, etc.

-Please do not wear any smart jewelry i.e. Apple Watch, Fitness Trackers, etc.

-Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You'll be lying down for the session, and you’ll want to feel as relaxed as possible.

-A light meal or snack about an hour before your appointment is ideal. It’s best not to have a heavy meal before the session.

-Make sure you're well-hydrated before your session. Drinking water helps in the energy flow.

-If possible, avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your session, as they can affect your body’s energy and your ability to relax.
