Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using spiritually guided life force energy.
Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki Practitioners understand that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy and use it to strengthen energy in themselves and help others. It is believed that a person’s “ki” or energy should be strong and free flowing. When this is true a person’s body and mind is in a positive state of health. When the energy becomes weak or blocked it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance.
A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels – physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. A session is pleasant and relaxing and is often utilized for one’s personal wellness. Here are some of the ways that Reiki can assist the body in healing itself.
A session is usually 60 to 90 minutes long. A discussion will usually take place during an initial session with a Reiki Practitioner. They will describe the session to the client, give the client an opportunity to discuss any particular problems or issues they are experiencing and ask them what they are hoping to achieve from their session. For the actual session, the client will rest comfortably on a massage table on their back with their shoes removed. Reiki can be performed with the client sitting comfortably in a chair as well. Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed and a client is always fully clothed; loose, comfortable clothing is suggested. A session can either be hands-on, where a Practitioner will apply a light touch during the session, or hands-off where they will hold their hands slightly above your body. If a client prefers not to be touched they can indicate this to the practitioner before they begin.
The session will then proceed with the Reiki Practitioner moving through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person’s head or feet. A recipient of Reiki might feel a warming sensation or a tingling during the session or nothing at all but sheer relaxation. The session should be very pleasant, relaxing and invigorating.
Life force energy is the billions of tiny particles that move faster than any speed we can record and which holds all things together. It knows no bounds of time or space. Therefore it can be directed through time and space, much like electricity.
Distant Reiki works the same as an in-person Reiki session except that the person receiving Reiki is not in the same room. Remember that Reiki is precisely directed energy. Think of it as the practitioner dropping a stone in the middle of the lake. The ripples are healing energy and they meet you at the shore. In Distant Reiki, it is the practitioner’s focus and intent to send the energy to the client, and that person’s willingness to receive it, that makes it work.
How Does A Distant Session Work?
The practitioner and client agree upon a time for the session and discuss any goals the client may have for the session. The practitioner might ask for a picture of the client, although this is not necessary. At the appointed time, the client should be sitting or lying down in a quiet comfortable place, so as not to be disturbed for the length of the session.
The practitioner prepares for the session in the same manner as for an in-person treatment. The practitioner might choose crystals especially for areas where the client needs healing, or choose an oracle card for guidance during healing. Soft soothing music, singing bowls, and aromatherapy are frequently used, just as they would during an in-person session. The practitioner sets the intent of deep healing and blessing for the client, and expresses gratitude for the gift of Reiki.
Some practitioners use the photo of their client or some will simply visualize the client in their mind’s eye, and focus on the client’s name and location. The Reiki energy is directed to similar positions on the body that are treated during an in-person session. Clients describe a wide variety of experiences and the effects of distant Reiki are just as profound as those experienced in an in-person session.
Energy is everywhere and crystals are the perfect conduit. Crystals contain the remarkable ability to transform, absorb, amplify, and transmit. In fact, the vibrations of crystals are known to change depending on the energy surrounding them, so every stone has a unique and different effect on each individual. Originally, crystal therapy was devised to balance the chakras and transform the energy properties of the body, resulting in a clear and positive energy field. When it comes to crystals, it is believed they heal and renew the energy that naturally flows inside of you, which would, in turn, help to heal your physical body as well.
Every reiki practitioner will have a slightly different practice, but some may place crystals around or on you to begin the healing session. They may also play soft music throughout the healing session and will probably speak with you before they begin, to find out what your issues and expectations are, and explain how the crystal reiki session will work. They will choose the crystals depending on your needs; for instance, yellow stones may help balance the solar plexus chakra where as blue opal or chrysocola may help balance the throat chakra.
How does Crystal Reiki Work?
In a typical 45 – 60 minute crystal reiki session, the therapist will move around you and may place their hands over you to help channel your energy and balance your chakras. What you experience during the session is distinctly individual, as it depends on why you’re having the treatment and what the therapist has proposed for your healing. Larger crystals may be placed under the table for your comfort. After your session, feel confident asking your therapist about the crystals that they used. They may also be able to recommend crystals you can keep at home, to balance your chakras and promote self-healing.
