Reiki

A Brief Overview
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing..
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
The Reiki Practitioner will complete a client form with you and ask you what you would like to focus on during the Reiki session. During the session you are fully clothed on a massage table. The Practitioner will lightly lay their hands on or above your body. Typical positions of the Practitioner's hands are on your: head, shoulders, stomach, arms, legs, and feet (or you may prefer not to have touch). If you are not comfortable with touch, please notify the Practitioner to adjust the treatment. Your energy field (aura) will also be treated with Reiki.
All clients feel relaxation. Some clients feel warmth in specific areas or tingling and some client may even lightly doze off. After your Reiki session, drink plenty of water to wash away the toxins released during the session. Let your body do whatever it needs - allow yourself quiet time or return to your life's activities with a sense of wellness.
Sessions are typically scheduled once a week or every 2 weeks. Each session is accumulative in maintaining the free flow of your energy centers and self-healing is in layers. No two sessions are alike. A series of 4 sessions is recommended for new clients. Additional sessions or a maintenance plan will be assessed with the client. Sessions are typically 45 to 60 minutes.
I currently have evening openings and Saturday mornings available. Please contact Michelle Twitchell, Reiki Practitioner at 540-467-0155 or
heart_centered@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment and obtain my fee schedule.
