Do you
have any stress or anxiety in your life? Chances are – you do! Try Reiki
– a simple method to release stress, relax, and restart your body’s ability to
heal itself.
What is Reiki? Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing method technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on the hands" and is based on the idea that a "life force energy" flows through us.
Even
though Reiki hasn’t gained the same mainstream attention as many other alternative therapies,
there are millions of people around the world who regularly receive or practice
this Japanese healing method.
What does Reiki feel like? Reiki involves a practitioner either lightly touching or
holding their hands over different areas on your body while working as a
conduit for the energy of nature to be concentrated and move into and through
your body to “wash out” the stale energy and stress. It works by helping you to get into a very deep state of relaxation,
thus allowing your body’s innate healing abilities to work at a higher
capacity.
Personally,
as a Reiki practitioner, I have had excellent success with many individuals
suffering from high levels of stress and/or anxiety, some suffering to the
extent that they had trouble leaving their homes and could not go to work.

What happens before a
Reiki session? How do people react? I
ask them a little of their history and how their anxiety is affecting their
life, volunteer to explain Reiki and how it works. After the first 30 minute or
one hour session almost everyone states, “I have not felt so relaxed in so long. Wow!” Many times they report feeling like they have
melted into the massage table and wonder if they could just float out to their
car if the door were opened. After a few
sessions, most people notice a huge change in their mood and ability to get on
with their lives. Often, I work with
people weekly for a month or two, then once every 2-3 weeks, and later whenever
they feel they need a “tune-up”.
Another
benefit of Reiki is that if you learn to use this healing method you can give
Reiki to yourself. So, if you are having
a very stressful day or have symptoms returning, you can just give this loving
healing to yourself.
We
have many Reiki practitioners at Firefly Hollow Wellness Center, and all are
excellent! We also have classes for
those who wish to learn this wonderful method.
Please check out our website and come to a Reiki Clinic or set up a
session for yourself with one of our practitioners.
