What is Reiki? Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction that can also promote healing. This form of energy work dates back over 2500 years to Tibet. When our bodies have "stuck" channels of energy, it can create an imbalance. This imbalance can cause us to have illness or injury on either a physical, emotional or spiritual level.

A Reiki session involves the "laying of hands" over the client. Unlike other modalities, what's wonderful about Reiki is that the client is an active participant in their own healing. Clients remain fully clothed during a Reiki session, which lasts approximately one hour.

How does Reiki help cancer patients?

Some cancer patients claim that Reiki has helped with pain management, relaxation, and side effects of treatment like nausea and stomach upset. It can also help relieve anxiety associated with this particular time in the patients life. Clients have noted better sleep following a Reiki session.

Although there is no scientific data that supports these claims, claims that support Reiki are OVERWELMING.

It is important to note that Reiki is not an alternative cancer treatment. It is not used to cure cancer or in place of treatment. Reiki is a complementary therapy, used to ease the emotional and physical side effects of treatment and symptoms cause by the dis-ease.

Reiki classes and sessions are often offered in hospitals. Many RN's are Reiki practitioner as well. (If you know a nurse or are a nurse that may be interested in classes or sessions I urge you to learn and receive treatment from the best. Call me or email me today.)

The positive effects of Reiki can be extended to pregnant women as well as the unborn baby. Reiki is the practice of sending universal energies (Qi) for healing purposes to a patient. Reiki is administered by a Reiki Master-Teacher who has been traditionally certified by another Reiki Master-Teacher. The practitioner uses a combination of meditating on symbols, crystal grids and hand positions to harness and concentrate the energies to the patient. There are seven different chakras that are usually focused on. The crown chakra, the root chakra, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat and the brow or third eye chakra are commonly used in Reiki.

Reiki And Pregnancy

Reiki is used during the first stages of pregnancy to relieve the stress and illness that the mother is feeling. Morning sickness and the stress of the body changing can be harmful to the mother’s aura. Reiki can restore the balance and health to the mother. Common chakras concentrated on during this time are the third eye chakra and the solar plexus chakra, as well as the Sacral Chakra. These chakras correspond to the head, abdomen and reproductive organs, respectively. Reiki is safe to use during all stages of pregnancy from conception to childbirth. Couples who are having trouble getting pregnant sometimes seek Reiki treatments for their reproductive problems. Men as well as women have shown benefits from these Reiki therapy sessions.
