Reiki = a holistic therapy/ modality, that concentrates on balancing energy.
Chakras = 7 meditative points that where used in ancient times as focal points connecting mind, body and spirit. Envision 7 constantly moving orbs that pinpoint energy and light. Starting at the top of your head (where the fontanelle is located when we are babies), down the spine to the perineum. (see diagram)
Have you ever closed your eyes and felt something in front of you, but nothing was there? Have you ever experienced intuition, or “had a good feeling or bad feeling” and then moved towards or away from something based on that “gut” feeling? We all have unexplained connections towards certain people. We have thoughts that guide us in directions based on how we “feel”. Or simply when we recognize peace while looking at a beautiful sunset, or the calm while walking in nature. That is the best way that I can explain our individual energy.
We are more than just mental & physical beings walking around the planet.
Our energy stays even keeled and peaceful when our chakras are relaxed & grounded. However, when chakras are blocked, we feel stuck. An example of a stuck chakra is when our creativity stalls, when we mumble or become soft spoken, we become indecisive, etc. And, an example of a blown open chakra , is when we feel like screaming, arguing, drinking too much, bad habits take place, not allowing good possibilities to cross our path. If either of these happen, our minds can close off, frustration or pain can set in our physical bodies. Yet, with balanced chakras, lives are peaceful, we actually observe beautiful things unrecognizable before, healing can be expedited(mentally and physically), creativity flows, our minds open and we become kinder towards our neighbor, and positive possibilities become endless, etc…
The Reiki Modality helps clear the clutter, so to speak. Helps to balance the Chakras, giving your energy self a means of creating an equilibrium of mind, body and spirit. We come to know our true self, our genuine self. Also, when our minds are grounded and open, we create a path for mental and physical awareness, sometimes never seen to ourselves.
I am a 3rd degree Reiki Master.
My sessions go like this:
You will have an appointment. If there is something that is troubling you, please tell me. Therefore, allowing intentional focus in a specific area. Everything is confidential. In a secluded room, you lay down on your back, relaxed – usually on a massage table, fully clothed. If you need a blanket for warmth, let me know. Getting cozy is fine. Get yourself comfortable, close your eyes, & stay awake if possible, but not necessary. During the session the I will guide energy by moving my hands in variety of places above your body. Sometimes slightly touching, but never inappropriately. At the end of the session, I will let you know when to open your eyes. If you missed any of it by falling asleep that is ok, as it is energy doing the work. A typical session is around 45 minutes up to an hour.
The average session can run between $40-$80 per hour, depending on where you are located. However, I have heard that Reiki will more than likely be covered by some insurance companies as it is becoming a commonality in many hospitals.

Using Reiki Principles
I say this every morning while putting on 5 bead bracelets (these were made by beautiful friend. She gifted them to me. How lucky am I!!!)
Open your mind and say this to yourself or aloud:
Reiki Principles:
