Reiki/Energetic Healing
First......more about Energy:Energy is within and around us all the time, but our consciousness enables us to activate it and make it vital. Just because we can’t see something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. We can’t see air, but we know we breathe it to keep us alive. We also can't see electricity, atoms, electromagnetic fields, sound, radio waves or the weather, yet we can see or hear the indirect results of these in physical form. Everyone’s perception differs and an increasing number of people are able to perceive things using “extra-sensory perception” that others may not. Quantum physics has acknowledged that we are all made up of energy, as is everything around us. It is the most basic building block of life. Energy flows through everything and creates everything. Even our thoughts and emotions are energy. It is just a difference in the vibrational frequency of energy that gives us the illusion of substance and separation, rather like water moving from solid ice at slower vibration, to fluids and then to steam at higher vibrations. Our personal energies are delicately balanced and we can become sick or feel “not quite right” when our energy flows are disturbed or blocked. Energy imbalances can result from both internal and external factors which is where Reiki comes in to help.
About Reiki:Reiki has been around since ancient times but was revived in the middle of the nineteenth century by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan. It has since spread through to the western world passed down from Reiki Masters to students through a process called an attunement. The attunement increases the individual’s capacity to allow a greater amount of universal life force energy to pass through them which enables the increased energy to flow freely. As we touched on under the flower essence information, we are all surrounded by an energy field called the Aura but aside from this we also have energy that flows through us as well as around us. This is moved through us through the Chakra system. When the energy flow is impeded or blockages occur it can lead to us experiencing pain, discomfort or distress in our physical bodies as discussed above. Reiki is said to be able to dissolve such energy blocks by dissipating immobilized or slow moving energy. The energy becomes drawn to the areas where the flow is slowed down or restricted and gently starts to break down the blockage. Gradually this life force energy is encouraged to flow freely again and help restore inner balance once more. Reiki does not need directing by the practitioner giving the treatment, it has its own inherent wisdom and acts as a force that gives people what they need, rather than what they ask for - the energy is self directing. The effects of Reiki are not always immediate or obvious, although for some people, it can be dramatic and instant. Experiences by people can vary from feeling a warm sensation or tingling or pressure sensations in the body to just feeling very deep relaxation and a sense of peace. There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment or a Reiki attunement. As in any healing the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed.
Reiki helps to:
What happens in a Reiki treatment?In my practice, I will greet you when you arrive and take you into the clinic room. We will have a quick chat about Reiki what you may or may not experience and you can discuss with me any concerns or issues that you need help with. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy therefore you will remain fully clothed so if possible just wear something comfortable for your treatment. I will get you to either lie down on a massage table or sit in a chair depending upon which is most suitable for you and then place a sheet over you and get you to close your eyes. I have an eye pillow for those who prefer to have something over their eyes. Practitioners can vary as to how they administer the treatment by either putting their hands directly on to your body or by holding their hands just above the body. In my practice, I hold my hands above you so I don’t touch you while you are relaxed. After I have done the Reiki, I also check your chakra system to ensure that they are clear and balanced. Occasionally I do use Crystals in treatments to help amplify the energy but will be in consultation with you. Treatments can vary according to your needs but normally I do 30 minutes to 1 hour sessions. Reiki is very safe for pregnant women as it does not affect the baby in anyway. Disclaimer: Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a compliment and a way to become and remain healthy Located on the Northern Beachs in Sydney at Frenchs Forest |
