Reiki Healing Session
  The relaxation of a Reiki healing session, allows you to be in the moment of calm.  Balance and harmony can melt away pain and stress as healing begins. This unique form of universal energy called Reiki travels to the center of the cells, filling them with balance and surrounding the whole person with harmony.  Subtle sensations such as a gentle healing heat going deep within are commonly felt.  However, often clients are too relaxed to notice.  Healing continues for days following a session. People whose nature is harmonious have the greatest freedom from disease.  Taking time for the relaxation of a Reiki healing session makes perfect sense in maintaining homeostasis of your whole self. Extra energy flowing to all your cells also places your body in a position to better fight off diseases and recover more quickly from accidental injuries. Sessions are also a peaceful break from the often-hectic life. Reiki will not cause any harm to any person or animal receiving; Reiki only flows as much as any cell can hold at that time.  Reiki travels to the root of what is causing the illness and the healing begins there. Emotions can cause physical illnesses.  Blocked emotions are released if needed, but in the way that is right for you at that time. We hear about techniques that "get to the heart of the matter"; Reiki goes to the core at all levels.  The only requirement of the client is to lay back and enjoy the positive energy flowing into her or his whole self. The natural healing method I use has been developed over the years with the assistance of my angels and guides and it is combined with Reiki healing energy. Embarking on the path of spiritual healing will enable you to deal with core issues and patterns that may have hindered you in your health, personal relationships, and the relationship you have with yourself. It will help to provide you with some of the tools needed in order to bring peace, harmony, and love into your life so that you may live a purposeful life. The healing energy will also re-connect you with your Higher Self, which is your higher level of consciousness, and to the Universal Consciousness. Everyone and everything is connected, so healing oneself brings light and love to the whole world. As each person seeks healing, the world will become more peaceful and loving, which will benefit all living things. Just imagine the difference that can be made as each person brings healing into the world! A typical Reiki session will start off with a brief conversation. This conversation is very important and allows a few different things to happen. The first one obviously is that it lets the client tell the practitioner why he or she is there, what is going on in his/her life, and what he or she is hoping to get out of the session(s).  The second thing that happens during this conversation is that it gives the practitioner a chance to get a feel for the client's energies prior to starting the session and allows for even more insight into the client's current situation.  The third thing that happens, and one of the most important, is that it gives the practitioner and client a chance to build a rapport. This allows the client to let go and open up more to the energies during the session.  Most people these days have a lot of issues with trust, and unless the practitioner is able to bring down some of those walls prior to the session, the client will unknowingly block most, if not all, of the energies the practitioner is attempting to channel into the client, thereby defeating the entire purpose of the session. The more the client is able let go, the more benefit they will receive from the session(s).  The next step is to have the client (fully clothed) lay down on his or her back on the massage table. The practitioner then generally starts at the head and works down toward the feet, stopping at the knees or possibly the ankles.  There are general hand positions that the majority of practitioners follow, at least to some degree. These hand positions attempt to cover all the seven main chakras and all the major organs. Each hand position is held for anywhere from 2 - 5 minutes or longer. During this time the practitioner simply allows the energy to channel out his or her hands and into the client.  There is no physical manipulation whatsoever during a traditional Reiki session. Everything is done on a purely energetic level.  After the practitioner has finished with the front of the client, they generally will have the client turn over, and will continue with similar hand positions for the back, once again starting at the head and working down toward the feet.  After all the positions on the back are completed, it is now time for the practitioner to "ground" the client back down to the planet. This is done by moving to the feet and channelling the energy into th
