Reiki 101 - What, exactly, is Reiki?

I’m always excited when I am asked about Reiki! Becoming a Reiki practitioner and teacher has had such a profound impact on all areas of my life and I love to share my experiences. I want others to find the same peace in their hearts that I have found. I want to tell them about how the veil has been lifted from my eyes and how I no longer feel like I am living as my own shadow. How calmer I am in all situations. How I have seen this invisible energy work its healing magic on me, on friends, and on the patients I volunteered for at the local hospital. I could go on and on… and have… much to their dismay! The challenge in explaining Reiki is that what begins as a simple “30-second commercial” can easily become a ½ hour infomercial!

So, then, what is Reiki? In a nutshell, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is energy, invisible to the eye, but powerful, loving and healing. When this energy is focused on you, your body uses it to balance and heal as needed. The practitioner’s only job is to facilitate the exchange of energy. This energy, initiating from Source in the Heavens, will pass though the practitioner and, as she places her hands gently on you (or holds them slightly above you), the energy will flow into you. You may feel warmth, coolness, or nothing. You may see colors. Some people become emotional, possibly signaling release. And, some even become so relaxed that they doze off! 

People experience differences in Reiki because people are different. What I need from Reiki may be completely different from your needs. Reiki understands this and “adjusts” without the practitioner directing it, or even knowing it is happening. Again, the practitioner is just the conduit for the energy. We do not place any instructions for healing on the energy, or claim to know what is best for our clients. The best way to learn about Reiki is to schedule a Reiki session. What have you got to lose but a little stress and pain?

    For over 20 years now I have been a single mom. My two boys have given my life meaning. Guiding and watching them make their journey from toddlers to young men has had it's trying moments, but no one said parenting would be easy! 

    We live in Lancaster County, PA, with our Yellow Labrador, Copper.
