About Reiki
Relax Re-align Rejuvenate
Reiki is a complementary and alternative healing practice that has been used to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and works on the body’s natural ability to promote healing. It was originally known as The Usui Method of Natural Healing. Learning the origins seems to make sense, as it is something that we as humans have been applying during the healing process since the beginning of time. The healing touch.
Reiki is an Eastern Medicine Philosophy of healing, Japanese in its origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese words Rei, which is defined as Universal Wisdom or Universal Mind, and Ki (commonly known as chi, prana or ti). Ki is the bio-field energy or life energy, vital force or the energy that animates all living things.
Reiki promotes healing of body, mind and spirit using the body’s natural healing ability along with the universal wisdom that we are all a part of. It does not matter if we are Eastern or Western in our heritage and lineage, for we all naturally know the healing power and effects of our energy body and touch.
How does Reiki work?
Our energy systems become sluggish or blocked, due to various physical, emotional, mental and spiritual stresses such as accidents, illnesses, emotional upset, and traumas of the body, mind and spirit and everyday modern living.
Reiki works to balance, align, rejuvenate, clear and heal our energy system. The practitioner has been trained in such a fashion that the client's energy system (chakra, aura and meridians) are able to connect, open, and find appropriate alignment through the practitioners hand placements and light touch.
Reiki is not directed by the practitioner. It is channeled through the practitioner, in a way that will naturally heal the client. It does so because it initiates the body’s natural healing tendency. Think of what happens when you sustain and injury. Your body naturally starts to heal itself. Reiki is always guided by the highest and greatest good, so it will never do harm, or interfere with any other treatments the client may be receiving.
Who can receive Reiki?
Reiki is excellent for restoring health and well-being for anyone of any age. Even in utero babies have received Reiki from Mary.
Reiki is not bound by any religion. It is spiritual in nature in that love and compassion are always provided. Reiki is acceptable across all religions, for there is no dogma or belief required.
Reiki is also excellent for your animal companions, as well as land, homes and businesses.
Life force energy and energy systems are in everything that lives.
When should I receive a Reiki Treatment?
Reiki is used for overall well-being, to recharge your energy after a stressful time, to enhance your connection to your own inner knowing, wisdom and guidance, to help you heal from physical, emotional/mental or spiritual issues, to charge your energy in order to more clearly effect change, and to promote and enhance your health in a non-invasive, incredibly affective way.
Mary specializes in Reiki treatments for those undergoing transitions, change, and transformation of a physical, mental/emotional or spiritual nature as well as overall well-being. Reiki is an excellent addition to other forms of treatment for mental/emotional stress, anxiety and depression. Reiki never interferes with medications you may be using, instead it acts as a complementary and alternative source of enhanced well-being. Mary’s focus is to assist you in accessing more of your life force energy, wisdom, and knowing, in a high vibrational state so that your healing, transformation and transitions and healing will be profoundly loving and deeply life enhancing.
Your energy system is your own unique vibrational signature, and it holds so much potential to help you live in harmony with your nature. Awakening your potential so you may live in deep peace, harmony, and balance is the reason for Reiki at Heart of Gaia.
Reiki Treatments are always timely. You may receive them anytime, and as often as you would like. Once you have your first treatment, Mary will discuss a course of action for follow up treatments, dependent upon what your wellness goals are.
Treatments are often used before or after a medical procedure or surgery, before or after an important event. During healing from a long-term illness, in conjunction with other therapies of body and mind, after a stressful event, or during life's many changes and transitions, or general life itself.
