Origins
Reiki is a gentle healing technique. It awakens our intrinsic ability to restore the body and spirit from within. The prevailing practice of Reiki that exists in the west was curated in Japan by Mikao Usui, and introduced to the United States by successors of his teaching lineage. The Source energy from which Reiki is derived, however, exists beyond our notion of time and space.

Science and medicine worldwide support the fact that our bodies emit electrical energy. Though we know of - and can measure - its existence, the origin of this animating energy is not thoroughly understood. In Japan, it is referred to as Ki, and it is from this word that Reiki is named.

As a complimentary therapy, Reiki fosters a state of balanced wellness for all aspects of one's being. Based on the concept that all living bodies radiate a unique energetic vibration, a Reiki practitioner can help you harmonize your own internal flow.
My Philosophy: The Resonant Bond
Resonance can be broadly described as the influence of one vibration on another. In other words, it is a quality of evoking response. Oftentimes, it even describes the sympathetic connection between two or more humans.
..................
Entrainment generally refers to the effect of one system on another. In the bio-musicological sense, it refers to the synchronization of living organisms to an external vibration such as drumming. Our bodies can also entrain to subtle energetic oscillations - or vibrations - in our natural surroundings; ocean waves lapping ashore, a heartbeat, even the cadence of a loved one’s breath.
............................................................................................
When two objects of like vibration are in close proximity, the object of lesser (weaker) vibration will begin to resonate with the object of stronger vibration. Entrainment will always shift toward the stronger resonator. Together, a practitioner and his/her client co-create a resonant system with the Source.

A Reiki practitioner is quite simply a conduit for healing.
Your Reiki Session: The Energetic Partnership
Healing is organic. A practitioner’s role is simply to channel the Source energy, which the receiver will use in any way that best fits his/her needs. A Reiki practitioner does not heal someone, but rather holds the space for someone's healing. A client may not even know his or her own needs. Paradoxically, this is when the most profound healing can happen.
............................................................................................
With a light touch, the Reiki practitioner will gently place his or her hands in a series of positions on the client’s body. Oftentimes too, the practitioner’s hands will hover a few inches above the client, assessing the surrounding biofield.
............................................................................................
As a resonant bond is generated, the client's parasympathetic nervous system is activated. This is an extraordinarily receptive state of being. While resting in this state, one may experience;
- Deep relaxation, reduced anxiety, and a general sense of peace.
- Relief from physical discomforts.
- Surfacing and/or resolution of emotional concerns.
- Enhanced sense of spiritual connection.
