REIKI HEALING

What is reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: Rei (meaning "universal") and Ki (meaning "life energy" or "vital force"). It is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through all living things, and that when this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual imbalances.

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gently guiding and directing energy around the body. It is believed that when our energy is blocked we can feel stressed or unwell. Reiki practitioners channels the universal energy, becoming a conduit, using their hands to deliver that energy to your body. This aids in aligning chakras (balancing the flow of your energy), clearing blockages and improving tand supporting\emotional physical, and mental health and encouraging your body to heal itself. Also, reiki induces deep relaxation, aids in the reduction of pain, lowers stress and anxiety, and helps with sleep patterns. Crystals and tuning forks may also be used as tools during a session to deepen the experience and aid in a deeper level of healing.

Mikao Usui developed reiki in the early 1900s and now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices to complement other forms of health treatments

reiki Benefits

sound bath

A relaxing soak in the tub isn’t the only kind of bath that can have health benefits.

There have been studies that indicate a sound bath may improve your mood and release tension in your body, reduce negative energy, anxiety among other things.

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants are “bathed” in sound waves produced by various instruments like:
• Crystal singing bowls
• Tibetan bowls
• Gongs
• Chimes
• Drums
• Tuning forks
• Voice or chanting

The purpose is to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and mental clarity. Participants usually lie down or sit comfortably, often with eyes closed, while a facilitator plays the instruments. The vibrations and harmonics are meant to help calm the nervous system and induce a meditative or even trance-like state.

It’s not a performance—there’s no melody or rhythm to follow—just layers of sound intended to help you disconnect from external distractions and tune into a deeper sense of presence and stillness. Some people find it emotionally or spiritually therapeutic as well.

Things you might experience include:

Feeling calmer/less stressed.
Muscles that feel looser.
A greater sense of relaxation.
Pain relief.
The ability to sleep better.
Improved mood.
Better body awareness/being more in tune with your body.
