“Rei” is universal and “ki” is Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian meaning life energy or biofield energy.  Reiki is a space for the body and mind to find complete relaxation, peace and bask in universal energy. Reiki in times of pain, exhaustion, and growth is incredibly powerful. Each practitioner channels this life force energy and offers their own talents on the subtle plane. And each session will offer insights, new perspectives, and connection, allowing for deep transformational healing to occur.

Short History of Reiki

Reiki is a form of healing life force energy created in Japan, however, is similar to other technique used by many around the world over the past thousands of years.  In 1914 a book titled Reiki healing and Its Effect was published by a Japanese therapist Mataji Kawakami popularize the many reiki styles of the time. Forms of reiki taught today originated from Dr. Mikao Usui where in 1922 he had a mystical experience after a 21 day fast. Over the years, more refined and higher levels of reiki energy have been brought though by those trained in this ancient lineage. William Lee Rand first experienced Holy Fire® energy in 2014 and it was further upgraded in 2018.  Reiki has become very popular in the West, and teachings and information are governed by The International Center for Reiki Training.  Today reiki is taught by use of ‘Placements’ where students connect with the energy source direction during several initiations, rather than traditional ‘Attunements’ where the reiki master would transfer channeled reiki energy to the student. This change has created a more pure and authentic teaching process, allowing practitioners to offer the highest form of reiki to themselves and others.

 

My Story with Reiki

Reiki has been in my life since 2008 where I found it to be one of the most profound and healing modalities in my life.  There is so much gratitude to my healer and teacher Gina Crosheck of PrismsScape in Iowa City.  It is during these times that I have learned to let go of the past, let go of pain, and allow myself to feel pure love, connection, and peace with my mind, body and soul so that I can embrace this in my daily life.  During 2020 I first pursued Reiki Training. I immediately connected and fell in love with the modality. I continue this training becoming a Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki Master in April 2023. This deep connection to the soft compassionate energy of Holy Fire® Reiki is incredibly beautiful and I welcome you to experience it for yourself!

 

Reiki Session Overview

Reiki is designed to always provide what is needed for you at this time in your life. Your Spirit is always in charge and has your highest interests guiding the session. Each session is unique and special to YOU.

• You will lay down on a massage table, either on your back or stomach, covered with a blanket and provided pillows as desired.

• Music will be playing in the background, with windows closed to provide a darkened safe space.

• Depending on your comfortability, I will place my hands on your body (avoiding private areas), or I can hover my hands just above your body approximately 3-4” away.

• You may fall asleep, allowing the mind to settle and energy to do its work, or remain present during the full session.

• You may cry with tears of joy, sadness, and release, or you may not “feel” anything at all.

• You may want to talk, share, or work through what you are feeling, seeing, or remembering out loud with me. This can be incredibly beneficial.  Or you may want to remain silent and go deep within the experience.

• I may share with you what I am receiving as part of the experience.

• After the session you will be given time to relax on the massage table.

• You may wish to share or keep the experience sacred in itself – all is respected.

• Fresh water will be provided before and after the session to rejuvenate and assist in the healing process.
