Reiki

My experience of using Reiki

I enjoy working with Reiki as it is a relaxing gentle therapy that gives your body an energy boost.  Often I give Reiki as a combination of hands on your body and hands off your body.  Most people have an expectation that Reiki is solely a ‘hands on’ therapy.  It may however be given off your body, working in your aura.  I always ask for your personal preference about how you would like to receive Reiki, as it is important for you to get what is right for you.

Some of the best feedback I have had about giving Reiki comes from younger children.  They are fascinated by the ‘tingles’ and enjoy receiving Reiki.  As they have less resistance to receiving Reiki, they tend to be more open about telling you what is going on.

I use Reiki every day.  I use it to empower the food I eat, clear the room I am working in and to help the people I meet that day.  You may use it to create good working relationships, clear negativity and protect you from energy patterns that are not harmonious to you.  I even use it on my plants!

People often ask whether giving Reiki is draining for me.  This is never the case as it is not my energy that you are receiving.  I am merely the channel through which the Reiki comes.  Another common question is ‘what did you feel?'  I can feel the Reiki coming through me and into you.  Once this has happened, the Reiki is yours.  It is up to your body to decide how best to use the Reiki.  One more common question is ‘did you see anything?’  I work with my hands to sense and feel the energy imbalances within your body, and hence don’t actually ‘see’ anything.  My hands tend to work like magnets; they are held in the area that the Reiki is needed.  When you have had enough Reiki in that one particular area, my hands are free to move onto the next area.
