How Reiki is Performed |
||
|
Using Reiki is a process of channeling intensified Life Force Energy, through the hands of the giver into the body of the receiver, via the body’s Chakras (energy centers). When performing Reiki, you can treat yourself, and you can treat others. The Reiki practitioner and the receiver both wear comfortable, non-binding clothing and both remove jewelry and shoes. For a full-body treatment, normally, the receiver lays on a mat or a table like a massage table. If you are treating yourself, you can lay on your bed or sit in a comfortable chair. With Reiki, we work primarily with the 7 major Chakras: Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Root. As a Reiki practitioner, I allow intensified Life Force Energy to flow through my hands, as I place them on or above the receiver’s major Chakras. For areas like the Heart Chakra on women, or the Root Chakra on all clients, we do not place our hands directly on the body; we place our hands just above or at an angle to the Chakra. In addition to the main Chakras, I also treat and teach my students to treat the client's knees, ankles, and feet. There are additional hand placements for various mini-treatments, but a full-body treatment includes the areas I have just mentioned, and this takes about an hour or so to complete.
Experiences during a Reiki treatment vary from client to client, and
even from one treatment to the next for the same client. During the
Reiki treatment, as the receiver, you may feel your entire body
warming, or you may feel heat intensifying in more specific, focussed
areas. You may feel a tingling, energy-in-motion, either throughout
your entire body, or in more specific, focussed areas. You may simply
feel SO at Peace, or SO Loved. You may see visions. One common
experience during a Reiki treatment is the feeling of total relaxation
and inner peace, which you may take with you into your future life
experiences.
