Relaxation Through Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It is a great technique to use at the end of a tough day or as a relaxing way to start off your morning. Reiki is a form of energy work where the Reiki practitioner acts as a funnel for the Reiki energy, directing it down through their own crown chakra and out of their hands into the recipient. The energy that they are channeling is the divine, all knowing spiritual energy that exists around us everywhere. People refer to this energy by different names in various cultures (prana, chi, ki, life force), but it is essentially the energy of love. Reiki can be done either in person or by distance. The in person sessions can be either hands-on or hands off (a few inches above the body) where Reiki energy is directed to the chakra centers of the recipient's body. Distance sessions can be performed over any distance - it doesn't matter if the recipient and practitioner are across the room from each other, a mile away, or on opposite sides of the planet since spiritual energy has no bounds and distance in the spiritual realm does not exist. Reiki can be sent to the past, to the present and the future and is great for both people and animals. We can all benefit from love and giving the gift of Reiki - whether to yourself or someone you love - is a great way to show that you care.

In person sessions can last anywhere from a half hour to an hour and a half and can range in price from about $40/hr to around $150/hr depending on your location and the practitioner's experience. Distance sessions are usually slightly less expensive and are much more convenient as you can receive it from the comfort of your own home. Reiki can also be sent via distance to large groups of recipients at the same time, which is a much more economical way of receiving Reiki. Since Reiki is of an infinite and boundless energy source, recipients in a large group have the same benefits of an individual session… some would even claim it is stronger. Another way to receiver Reiki energy is through Reiki charged objects, music and videos. Just about anything can be charged with Reiki by a practitioner so that you can receive Reiki while you are in contact with it.
