Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic, method of energy medicine which quickens and aids healing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Considered Complimentary Medicine in the U.S. it promotes relaxation, lessens pain, reduces stress, and increases energy. Reiki has been known to foster intuition and awareness, create inner harmony and peace, and promote vitality in both the giver and the receiver.

Reiki originated in Japan and was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. Reiki-(pronounced ray-key): the literal Japanese translation for Rei is 'universal spirit', and ki is 'life force energy'. So Reiki means universal life force energy.

Reiki is NOT a religion.

How does Reiki work?

Energy Medicine is based on the premise that the human body is composed not only of structural and biochemical dimensions, but also of a subtle energy dimension which acts as an invisible blueprint for ones health and wellbeing.

The Chakras are transformers of subtle energy. They take the universal life energy that is always around us and transform it into the various frequencies our subtle energy needs to keep us healthy.

The Aura is a beautiful field of ever changing colorful patterns that completely surround all living things. It has many layers starting closest to the body and ending 4-5 feet from the body. It has an oval shape. Each layer represents a different part of a persons consciousness with the inner layer connected to the physical body and outer layers including emotional, mental, and spiritual layers.

Mapped by the Chinese over 5,000 years ago, the meridians are pathways that subtle energy flows through within the physical body. They contain energy points usually referred to as acupuncture or acupressure points. Each meridian has an organ or physical system of the body associated with it and supplies that organ or system with subtle life energy. If there are blockages along these pathways, illness will exhibit in its corresponding organ.

By using gentle, noninvasive techniques, Reiki practitioners can coax the subtle energies of the Chakra, Aura, and meridians to flow in more optimal ways thereby relieving physical and emotional discomfort and accelerating the healing process.

Our bodies are designed to heal themselves. These energies form the foundation of your health. They are the fuel and its atmosphere. But we have been placed in a world that systematically interferes with this natural capacity to heal. Your conscious involvement in your health is required.

By receiving regular energy sessions of Reiki, our subtle energy bodies are better equipped to handle the daily stressors we encounter. Reiki promotes optimal health for our total being physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

The recipients generally report a feeling of calm and deep relaxation which promotes restorative sleep after a treatment. Warmth is perceived from the practitioner's hands; some positions may be 'hotter' than others depending on the energy needed in that area. This heat form the Reiki energy is a deeply penetrating and soothing experience.

A full Reiki treatment can last an hour to an hour and a half. The recipient is fully clothed and reclining comfortably on a massage table or a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands on, or just above, the recipient for 2-5 minutes in each designated positions.

It is recommended for the recipient to wear loose or comfortable clothing with nothing binding. It is also best to remove any metal, such as jewelry, belts, and watches prior to the session. Sometimes during a session the recipients temperature drops and a light blanket may be necessary.

After a session please drink plenty of water and plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Your body will be going through energetic shifts and releasing blockages.

As your body adjusts to a more balanced way of being you may have a 'healing reaction'. You may notice mild, transient flu like symptoms. This is encouraging, as it indicates the release of built up negative energetic ways of being.

The body responds to the commands it receives from the brain like a robot. We get into a habit of viewing ourselves in a certain, perhaps negative, way and then create a self fulfilling prophecy. "I am a smoker." "I can't quit." "I am fat." Hypnosis interrupts this cycle and implants healthy alternatives for the changes you want to make in your life.

The conscious mind is hindered by the 'critical faculty' which distinguishes between reality and fantasy. Hypnosis bypasses or dissolves the critical faculty so that the conscious and un-conscious mind can communicate unhindered.

Self Hypnosis is very effective but difficult because our minds tend to wander and get off track during meditation. Having a facilitator to customize your experience and guide you through in a safe, comfortable, and controlled environment is invaluable for optimal outcomes with desirable effects.

Registered Nurse

Winter Springs, FL

Ann has been a full time Registered Nurse for 19 years and has had the honor to work with clients in the full spectrum of the life continuum; from birth to the completion of this lifetime. After years of working in the traditional health care model, Ann recognized the importance of addressing health and illness from a more holistic approach. It is far better and easier to maintain the health and balance of our energetic beings than to struggle back from a place of illness.

As a Reiki Master, Ann is able to facilitate the healing process on all levels; mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional, by aligning the body's subtle energy pathways (meridians used in acupuncture therapy) as well as opening and balancing the Chakras. Reiki removes energy blockages therefore reduces or eliminates pain, stress and anxiety. By revitalizing the energetic being, Reiki also promotes intuition and awareness while fostering inner harmony and clarity.

Ann has found that having Reiki in her life has aided her ability to meditate and deepened her yoga practice significantly. Reiki, when used in addition to Hypnosis, self hypnosis, progressive relaxation techniques, affirmations and guided imagery are powerful tools we can all use to manifest balance and abundance in our lives.

She has a Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, is a Certified Reiki Master, an Ordained Minister and a Certified Intuitive & Angelic Medium by Sonia Pasqual Violett Flame. Various key stages in life have led Monette to various books, workshops and acquaintances to deepen her connection with Spirit.

Monette was experiencing physical pain in her abdominal region, which could not be diagnosed by the doctors and she felt out of balance. She later found out that it was a result of emotional pain from her past and present life at the time. She then decided to take matters into her own hands and was lead to Reiki.

Monette then received attunements for 1st and three months later 2nd degree Reiki. She loved the energy, wanted the energy to be stronger, and knew she would eventually begin teaching others. She was then attuned to 3rd degree by Sonia Pasqual Violett Flame. Reiki energy has helped; and continues to heal Monette in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. As a Reiki Master she has offered the healing energy to family and friends and decided to expand her service to the community by channeling the energy to those who seek it.

Monette continues to follow her inner guidance to expand her spirituality; and she will be looking into other forms of energy healing to offer along with Reiki. She is also working on her Masters degree in Instructional Design.
