Service Description

(Note: If you are unable to pay for the total amount, please contact me to work out a different payment option.) WHAT CAN I EXPECT? During a session, the client will lie on a massage table fully clothed, but treatments can also be given seated or even standing. It is preferable to keep the eyes closed, to fully relax. A light blanket, along with an eye covering, can be placed over the body. Soft, relaxing music along with aromatherapy will be available. The practitioner places her hands, palms down, on or near the client's body in a series of 10-12 hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The responses during the treatment vary considerably. Some clients may experience sensations of warmth, heat or tingling where the hands are placed and Reiki flows through them. Usually the client feels very relaxed and peaceful as the energy flows through their body, and may drift off to sleep. Clients can sometimes become quite emotional as the Reiki begins to break down old patterns and blockages and bring them to the surface. They may laugh out loud or even shed some tears, or their legs or arms may suddenly jerk even while they are asleep. These reactions are perfectly normal and are caused by blocked or stagnant energy being released in different ways from the body. Sometimes, after the treatment has ended, clients may experience a shift in consciousness, a realization of the underlying causes of any problems they have been having, whether those problems are to do with their physical health, their relationships, or job, or so on. Occasionally in the days immediately following a treatment some people experience something called a “healing crisis”, which is usually just a short period when they have temporary physical symptoms such as a sudden cold, as the Reiki energy works through the blockages and the body does its best to get rid of them.
