Reiki is completely safe for everybody! It does not involve any invasive treatment, all it requires is the practitioners hands. There are many wonderful things to look forward to when you are expecting your first Reiki treatment! I ask that you arrive to the clinic 15 minutes before your appointment to fill out the necessary paperwork. When I am ready for you I will then take you to my office. We can either have you in a seated position or laying down, whichever is most comfortable for you. It is recommended to wear loose, comfortable clothing and to remove all jewelry before hand – as you will want to be as relaxed as possible.
Jewelry can often get in the way or be uncomfortable, and metals such as silver, gold, and stones are known to effect the flow of energy. If you feel it beneficial to share what you would like healed, the practitioner can give more reiki to the areas that are in need, this will only benefit you.
Because you are receiving “Usui” reiki, I will "scan" above the body to find changes of energy in the body. I will then go down the major energy centres of the body, working on clearing the individual chakras. When the Reiki Energy begins to flow, you may feel an increased warmness radiating from my hands. Sometimes you may even “see” the reiki energy while your eyes are closed, or feel the energy vibrate through her hands. This will feel very relaxing and you may even find yourself falling asleep. Don’t worry if you do, the Reiki energy will work regardless.
If needed, I will pay extra attention to specific areas of the body that she feels are more blocked than others. Often a Reiki Session can last any where from an hour or longer, depending on what needs to be done. Results vary after a reiki treatment. You may feel full of energy, or you may feel tired. This is completely normal, as it’s your body’s way of healing itself. The reiki energy will continue to work on the areas that need healing for as long as necessary, but you may need to return for follow-up treatments if you are suffering from a chronic illness, or if you feel it necessary.
You can receive Reiki as much as you like; daily, weekly, bi-weekly, etc. It is in no way harmful, nor does it have any side effects. It is Universal life Energy, and it’s purpose is to heal.
