Usui Reiki

I am glad that you are interested in learning more about Reiki. Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes relaxation and also helps healing. It is a practice that can help you return to balance in physical, mental, spiritual, even social aspects of your life. It is said that Reiki typically brings about rapid stress reduction and relief from pain and anxiety and in my experience I have found this to be so. Clients also report a greater sense of well-being following a treatment.

While Reiki is generally referred to as a spiritual practice, it is not a religion and requires no belief. It can be practiced safely in any situation. Reiki energy is accessed through the practitioner and it gently encourages energetic balance.

Reiki is offered by practitioners with a variety of different backgrounds. While Reiki energy is not connected to any discipline or Religion, I find it helpful to know the background of the practitioner as he or she also brings their whole self to the healing session. I am a Registered Nurse and so bring that background with me when I practice and teach Reiki here in Owen Sound.

I begin a healing session with you with some discussion of your situation and an energetic assessment as well as your intentions for the tratment. I have a healing room with a Massage Table on which you will lie fully clothed. Eventually I will use a gently light touch placing my hands in different positions on you. I will expain this to you in advance so you will know the different hand positions. Likely I will use soft music in the background. I will ask you to turn over when close to the end of the treatmenbt so that I can place my hands in specific positions on your back. The length of the treatment itself is usually somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes. Some people fall asleep. Some notice energy shifts and others do not. Occasionally a person will cry with a release of some kind often not fully known as the energy is balanced. Some people feel effects immediately and others do not notice it until later, even the following day.

Following the treatment we will talk about anything that may have come up for you and I will slowly guide you to full orientation with your surroundings before you leave.

As a Reiki Master, I offer classes. The First Degree level is where the practice of Reiki begins and allows you to access Reiki energy any time and anywhere for your own hearling or to practice with others. If you think you may be interested in learning Reiki, I would be happy to talk with you on the phone to help you learn more about it and how it might serve you and others.

I suggest that anyone wishing to take the Second Degree of Reiki practice daily self healing with Reiki for at least a month before beginning the class. This will prepare you personally for the next step. The Second Degree of Reiki will initiate you in using 3 Reiki Symbols to help you with distance healing as well as to intensify the energy available in your practice with self and others.

If you are interested in taking the third degree of Reiki, I suggest that you practice second degree Reiki on at least 25 people, first. The Third Degree teaches you how to teach Reiki to others, provides you with a fourth symbol and gives you the means to becoming a Reiki Master.
