Sunshine Reiki Healing - What Is Reiki?

The Nature of Reiki Energy: Reiki Kanji

Rei means “Universal” and refers to the spiritual dimension, to the soul.

KI means vital life force energy that flows through all that is alive.

The word Reiki means Universal Life Force Energy and is pronounced "Ray-Kee". Reiki is an intelligent healing energy in that it always orients itself towards the needs of the recipient and not the thoughts or desires of the practitioner. The practitioner is never depleted of their own energy and thus always feel great after ‘giving’ a Reiki session. Reiki is simple and produces measurable results. It is power, light and love - Reiki is not a religion. No matter where a person may be at a certain point in their life, Reiki will harmonize with and embrace their philosophical centre point, adding to it the Divine Presence.

Reiki healing is a pure energy form. When it is combined with the sincere desire of the client, who is willing to effect a cleansing within their own emotional and spiritual consciousness, a total healing may occur (It is a tool that can be used any time and anywhere for immediate stress and pain relief, followed by an increase in energy levels - with Reiki Level One).

When the flow of the "Life Force Energy" is weakened or blocked - emotional or health problems tend to occur. Imbalances can be caused by different situations happening in our lives. Emotional, shock, injury, negative thoughts and feelings (including worry, doubt, anger. anxiety, and negative self talk), toxicity, destructive lifestyle and relationships, neglect of self and lack of love for one's self or others from emotions that are not expressed in a healthy way. When we are relaxed and stress-free we are able to restore our natural ability to heal. After a Reiki treatment you will feel very relaxed, lighter and more in control of your life.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve health and enhance the quality of life.

A treatment feels like a wonderful flowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, mind, emotions and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation, feelings of peace, security and well being.

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory levels of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

Reiki Can Never Do Harm

The Usui Method of Natural Healing is a method of receiving and passing on Reiki energy. At the Practitioner Level 1 this is done through laying on of hands. Reiki Level One is about “I want to change where I am; I want to alter my state of existence”. Reiki subtly changes a person's life when they become Reiki practitioners, for whatever is good for that person.

Reiki always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. There is no need to worry about whether to give Reiki or not, it is always helpful. Because the practitioner is not doing the healing, the practitioner is only a conduit for the Reiki Energy Healing.

What to Expect from a Reiki Treatment Session

Clients receiving treatment at Sunshine Reiki Healing will be lying down bed in a calm and quiet atmosphere with gentle music playing in the background, while Elizabeth lays her hands gently on or above their head and then on to other locations on the body. The client will experience stress reduction and a deep relaxation, which promotes healing. In addition the treatment helps remove energy blocks, balances the Chakras, alleviates chronic pain and illness.

The first Reiki Healing session takes approximately one and a half hours and includes a thorough intake assessment with the client. This is done to ensure a full knowledge of their current medical conditions. Subsequent Reiki Healing Sessions do not require the medical history process but time is taken to check-in and update the client’s current health status. Each session takes approximately one hour.

Healing Room The client will be made comfortable on the massage table, be fully clothed under a blanket and allowed to relax before any treatment begins. Elizabeth will proceed with the treatment, using a combination of Reiki symbols. Clients are always asked if it is OK to touch them - Reiki can be done above the body without touching but is usually done with a gentle touch to the body on top of clothes. Clients will generally experience a deep relaxation within a few minutes. Some clients will feel warmth, tingling, pulsation or vibration in their body from the practitioner’s hands. Each Reiki experience is individual and unique leaving the client feeling relaxed, refreshed, clear, and pain free. On ending the treatment Elizabeth will make sure that the client is grounded, has a glass of water and a chat about their Reiki experience before they leave the Healing Room. The goal is to help the client on their path to healing body, mind and spirit.

No two Reiki treatments are ever the same - each one is very different, as the body heals gently. An analogy of Reiki is that it is like peeling an onion, one layer at a time going at the client's own pace, as they open up to letting go, emotions may arise from years back. It could be comments or events from their childhood that they have held on to for years, and the Reiki Healing will help them release it and let it go.
