Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing practice that originates from Japan. The translation of ‘reiki’ is ‘’universal life energy’. It works on the premise that energy flows through all living beings and should this energy become unbalanced or blocked, it causes problems with emotional or physical health.
Reiki practitioners are attuned to this universal life force, and they channel this energy to promote healing. The reiki will be drawn to the areas where healing is required, where an imbalance of energy exists within the body. It is a holistic therapy that works to improve the body, mind, and spirit, and although reiki is spiritual in nature, it isn’t part of religious practice, and clients are not required to hold certain beliefs in order for the reiki healing to work for them.
Reiki at Wholistically Real
Before any treatment plan begins, it is essential to understand your individual health background. A key principle of reiki is that it can do no harm, yet it is so important to do a detailed client intake to make sure that reiki is the most appropriate therapy and that you are emotionally ready to accept the healing.
When you’re ready for the treatment to begin, you will be asked to lie on a massage table or sit comfortably in a chair if you have mobility issues. No special equipment is required. Reiki is a non-intrusive practice where the practitioner directs the reiki energy through a combination of hand positions focused on the body’s chakras. You can choose a light-touch approach or hands placed just above your body within your aura. Each hand position will be held for a few minutes, and the full treatment will last around 45 minutes.
As a Reiki Master, Marie will be able to sense where your body is asking for assistance or attention. Based on what is coming up, she will address any issues that need to be released or healed. During the session, Marie will use various complementary tools to promote greater healing, such as crystals and gemstones, essential oils, guided meditation, EFT, guided visualization meditation, breathwork, and oracle card assistance.
As with many holistic therapies, after your treatment, it is advisable to drink plenty of water to flush out any toxins, rest, and eat healthily, avoiding alcohol.
