Reiki Energy Healing

Many ancient knowledge systems, including the yoga tradition, teach us that we have several distinct layers that comprise the totality of our energy system, ranging from our physical bodies to the most subtle—the spirit that moves with us between lifetimes. Prana / qi / life force energy moves throughout the system, connecting our spirit with our physical and mental bodies. Where our energy flows we are in alignment, where it becomes over or under active, we suffer. 

The chakras are major energy centers that exist at concentrated nerve bundles along the spine, at the intersection of our masculine and feminine energy channels. Each chakra is responsible for different functions in our system (physical, mental, emotional, relational), and so are access points for energetic healing. In reiki, the practitioner channels this life force energy into the recipient’s chakra centers to support balanced energy flow. Sessions with me may also involve sound healing, visualizations, affirmations or other intuitive practices. 

This is a wonderful practice to support relaxation, healing from traumas, to bring parts of the energy system ‘back online’, to provide extra support during challenging times or transitions, or to generally maintain your peace and wellness. I may suggest a specific healing session as part of a wellness counseling follow up. Energy will continue to move through your system for 24-48 hours after the session, and the subtler effects of chakra healing will continue manifesting in your life well beyond that.
