About Reiki

Master Mikao Usui, a buddhist man born in 1865, rediscovered the 4 reiki symbols we use today in old Sanskrit sutras but didn't entirely know what to do with them. Usui retreated to the mountain for a 3 week fast and meditation and on the final day a light came to him and bestowed upon him the symbols and their meaning. Before Usui, the practice of Reiki had been lost for thousands years because it was passed down from master to student by word of mouth. Usui passed on his knowledge to many students and elevated quite a few to master status. One notable student was Chujiro Hayashi, opened his own healing clinic in Tokyo, taught many students and honored an elite few with the title Master. One of his students was Hawayo Takata, she obtained master status in 1938.

Madam Takata is credited for bringing reiki to The United States.​

Reiki practitioners follow a simple philosophy that exemplifies harmony with all living things. This philosophy is known as The Five Principles of Reiki. There are myriads of ways to phrase them, this is my own interpretation:

 

Just for Today:

1. I release anger

2. I let go of worry 

3. I do all things with mindfulness

4. I practice gratitude

5. I am kind to all living beings

Reiki has the ability to enhance your life and emotional state. Reiki has been known to help release mental, emotional and energetic blockages in the recipient. Many seek Reiki therapy to bring wellness into the life. You may wish to undergo Reiki treatments if you want to:

• Reduce anxiety

• Reduce fatigue

• Minimize pain

• Manifest goals

• Boost your mind

• Decrease tension in your body

• Heal from an emotional event

• Increase fertility

• Improve memory

​

Reiki is an excellent compliment to any other healing practice you may be undergoing. Reiki works in harmony with other medical and psychological treatments. Reiki can be sent to you, a pet, an event in the future or the past or an intention you wish to manifest.

I like to incorporate the use of crystals into my sessions. I offer complimentary aromatherapy, sage and Palo Santo smudging as well. I find these work together synergistically to cleanse, balance, and recharge my clients mentally,  emotionally and energetically.

​

I offer distance Reiki sessions, which can be anywhere from 15-45 minutes in length. Most commonly, the recipient lays or sits down for this session wherever they prefer but it is not necessary to do so, uou can contiune with your day if you like. Reiki will still go where it is needed and your body will accept the healing regardless of where you are or what you are doing.
