What types of things does Reiki cure?

It is important to understand that Reiki works in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.  It is not a cure for any medical or psychological diagnosis.  Receiving a Reiki treatment will not interfere with or replace traditional medical care and can enhance medical treatments as well as complement all other forms of holistic healing.  For example, Reiki treatments can help relieve side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, accelerate the body’s self-healing abilities, support the immune system, and increase vitality just to name a few.

 

Are there any side effects from a Reiki treatment?

Most often, you will feel relaxed and uplifted after a Reiki treatment.  Sometimes you will experience what is called a healing or cleansing turning point.  This is a positive outcome and part of the clearing and balancing process.  In the days following a Reiki treatment, it is not unusual to experience some effects of the body releasing toxins.  For best results following a session, engage in loving self-care, relax, get more rest, and drink plenty of water.

 

What do I have to do during my session?

During a Reiki treatment, you remain fully clothed, resting peacefully on a massage table lined with a Biomat which is a bed of Amethyst crystals delivering deep, warm stress relief and healing.  While I am extending the Reiki energy into your energy centers to remove blocks and to restore balance, you may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or coolness.  You may experience feelings of relaxation, peace, security, and well-being.  You may see colors or images or perhaps remember memories causing emotions to surface and release.  You may even fall asleep.  Each client and their experience is unique and they are receiving the benefits of Reiki whether they experience sensations and feelings subtly, intensely, or not at all.

 

What if I am not comfortable lying flat?

Let me know your needs before you begin.  If lying flat is uncomfortable, other accommodations will be made.  This is your special time and I am there to help you.

 

How many sessions should I receive?

This is up to you depending on your needs.  You may feel you have achieved your goal with Reiki treatments after a few sessions or you may feel that you want regular treatments to continue and maintain your well-being.  I might recommend a series of sessions depending on your needs.  Three sessions is the customary suggestion because it gives you time to evaluate the benefits you are receiving.  We will discuss how best to space the sessions to suit your needs and your schedule.
