What is Reiki?

Reiki is a non-invasive, holistic, hands-on energy healing technique. Touch as a form of healing and to sooth pain is as old as instinct. When a child falls, a mother will kiss the boo-boo to relieve the pain. When an animal gets a scrape, its first instinct is to lick the area in pain. Touch conveys warmth, love, & healing. These seemingly simple acts are the basis for touch-based healing techniques.

Reiki is a Japanese word that when translated means "Universal Life Force Energy". The living body, whether human or animal, radiates warmth & energy. This energy is life force itself and has held many names throughout human civilizations. In Japan, this energy is termed "ki" and is the word from which Reiki is named. "Rei" can be translated to "Higher Power". An alternative translation of Reiki is "Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy".

This is the energy that is tapped into by the practitioner for the healing. It is important to note that the energy is not transferred from the practitioner to the patient. Rather, it is channeled through the practitioner to conduct the healing via a hands-on approach or distance healing. Reiki is ultimately an intelligent energy that works through the patient's energetic field penetrating all layers of the human condition — physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual.

We are all energy. Not only do we radiate our own energy, but we are attuned to the energies around us. We are instinctually aware of the sensation of someone approaching us from behind or the tension upon entering a room where an argument just took place. When assessing disease and illness that is manifesting in the physical body, it is usually rooted in blockages or stagnancy of life force energy. Whether we are experiencing stress, grief, or illness, we have a tendency to hold on to this energy in our physical body. After a stressful day at the office a stiff neck and shoulders are common, or when in a state of grieving hips will often feel locked. In order to let go of these stored energies and related physical manifestations, we can use Reiki to remove blockages and allow life force energy to flow properly again.

Clearing one's channel is also important practice during a time of transition and transformation. As we begin to shift, it is common for negative thought patterns to arise or old programming and stories from childhood to take root. Reiki is extremely beneficial to clear mental and emotional blockages, allowing free-flowing life force energy to aid ascension in any aspect of one's life.

Like many modalities, Reiki is practiced in varying techniques. I am a certified practitioner in a unique blend of Reiki Usui (traditional reiki) and Reiki Tummo (reiki activated with kundalini energy). This is a beautiful blended technique originating from Japan and Indonesia, respectively. Whether you are looking for healing of the physical body or spiritual advancement, this blended technique is a complete healing system.

Location

I conduct appointments out of my healing nature cottage aptly named "Casa Luna", in the stunning canyon of Topanga, California. Sessions will either take place in the outdoor Balinese yoga pavilion or in the dedicated indoor healing room. The cottage is incredibly peaceful & quiet and the view alone is healing. Tucked away + completely surrounded by nature, we will utilize the healing energy of Mother Gaia in all our work together. If you would prefer a session in your own sacred space, I am available to travel upon request. I look forward to supporting you!
