FAQs About Reiki Energy Healing

💫 What is Reiki Energy Healing? 💫

Reiki pronounced Ray-Key is comprised of two Japanese words Rei (universal spirit) and Ki (vital life force energy), which flows in all living things. This form of energy healing was rediscovered by a Japanese Monk named, Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800's. Reiki is not affiliated with any religious beliefs or religions such as Buddhism or Christianity.

Reiki Practitioners use a technique called palm healing or laying-on hands and are conduits between the Reiki Energy and the recipient, using their hands and or tools to facilitate emotional and physical healing where the client body needs it the most. Reiki Practitioners of level 2 and 3 have the ability to support their clients from any location using Distant Reiki.

🖤 Harmful Energies such as low vibrational emotions, gossip/drama, chronic illnesses, unhealthy relationships, injury and stress can deplete our Life Force Energy. When we experience emotional pain or physical injury, it creates disruptions to our energy. These disruptions no matter how subtle, can cause stagnate or decreased flow of energy that form blockages, creating mental or even physical illness. Reiki addresses the energetic imbalances in and around our bodies to bring the flow of energy back into harmony. It's an energy that heals all levels of our being; emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

With each session, an individual could experience accelerated healing and reduction in pain, the removal of stagnant energy, and improvement of other areas of their life.

❤️‍🩹Side Effects of Reiki❤️‍🩹

Although energy healing is a safe method of treatment, shifts in energy will occur during a session and may create some physical, emotional or spiritual side effects which may include: 

  • Feeling warmth
  • A floaty sensation
  • Muscle soreness
  • A surge of energy; feeling wired
  • Nausea
  • Thirst
  • Changes in sleep pattern
  • Physical tingling
  • Feeling lighter energetically
  • Seeing colors or visions
  • Emotional releases such as crying or giggling

🩵 Can Reiki cure illness?

Energy healing should never be used as a replacement for any prescribed or necessary medical treatment. Reiki Practitioners do not diagnose or contradict medical advice or diagnosis a client has already been given. However, Reiki Practitioners can talk about what they see and feel and encourage/suggest the client to seek a professional medical opinion if something arises during a session. 

With Reiki you can guarantee that there will always be healing, even if you can't see or feel it. A few studies have shown that Reiki reduced stress and stress related issues, lowered high blood pressure, decreased heavy bleeding and pain, calmed anxiety, helped with insomnia, and raised red blood cell and blood plasma count. Healing does not mean that the person is being cured of their illness or disease but it's certainly the goal Reiki Practitioners aim for.

💙 How do Reiki Practitioners prepare for a healing session?

Before each session, the sacred treatment space is cleansed and every Reiki session starts and finishes with an energy body cleansing utilizing herbal smoke blends, holy woods & resins, salt mixtures or spiritual waters. Once the cleanse is complete, we will have a brief discussion about your expectations for the session, then begin with a grounding process and the desired Reiki service.

When Reiki Practitioners connect to the Spirit Realm, we want to make sure we're only communicating with the highest and purest level of beings. Energetic boundaries that only allow benevolent and compassionate Spirits and positive energies to enter, must be created. In addition to this, Reiki Practitioners always set the intention that we do not consent to anything unless it is for our client's highest and greatest good. 

💜The Pillars of Reiki💜

When Reiki Practitioners activate Reiki Energy {Chiryo}, we open the mind, body and spirit to embrace and receive healing energy for our client's best good. We supply our bodies with love and energy before performing Reiki sessions by setting a foundation to healing via prayer {Gassho}.

🙏🏿 Prayer Hands represent the bridge of the physical and spiritual worlds coming together. It holds the intention of balance, focus, gratitude, respect and connection to the Divine.

Raising these prayer hands from our heart center to our Mind's Eye or 3rd Eye Chakra {Reiji-Ho}, we ask for Reiki Energy to flow through us as Reiki Practitioners are Channelers for this sophisticated energy. We ask for healing and wellbeing of the recipient, then allow our hands to be guided by Spirit to facilitate healing or whatever the body needs during a session.

🤍A Reiki Practitioner's Prayer🤍

“To my Divine Creator and sacred Spirit Guides, please surround me with a protective white light. Help me to be the best conduit for healing energy that I can be, in this moment. Guide me to ensure that whatever is in my client's greatest and highest good, be done”.

😣 Will I feel pain while receiving Reiki?

Depending on what your energy body needs during a session, you may experience a deep sense of emotional pain from hidden traumas as the Reiki energy pushes it to the surface. You should not feel physical pain during your Reiki session.

❤️‍🩹 What should I expect after a Reiki session?

Reiki treatments will stir up and release energy from the energy fields and physical body. It's common for the body to detox for a short period of time following a healing session (a few hours up to a few days long).

An energy detox or release will usually be mild for most people but occasionally can feel intense. Here are some common signs of an energy release:

  • Body aches and pain
  • Emotional swings
  • Feeling of panic
  • Spontaneous crying
  • Frequent urinating; fowl smelling or darker than normal (even if you're hydrated)
  • Loose stools or changes in bowel movements
  • Muscle contractions
  • Overwhelming anxiety
  • Vomiting and diarrhea (rare)
  • Tension or stiffness
  • Tasting metal in your mouth

We encourage you to drink plenty of distilled and spring water to help flush the toxins and energy out and it's best to schedule your session on off days or weekends to practice self-care and rest for our First-Time clients.
