REIKI SESSION
[An Explanation]
You may embrace your first healing session with important and valid questions that need to be answered. Your questions are based on an understanding of traditional medicine, however the session you've just had is very different and most of you don't understand what has happened yet you're feeling better and more relaxed. Explanations on healing may not make sense to you as I describe what is going on and how it works. To receive a meaningful answer you may have to change your way of thinking and be re-educated on a variety of topics including the human energy system; therapeutic techniques; health & disease; and the causes of illness from these perspectives. A description of the human energy field [aura] may be helpful.
Your aura encompasses your body and is directly associated with your health. You get ill when the normal functioning of this field has been disturbed. I will realign, charge and repair this field in a manner similar to acupuncture but without needles. [You actually bring more energy into your body through this field than by eating, e.g. you've got more energy on sunny days because the sun charges the energy in the air and you take it in through your aura.] In Canada we concentrate mainly on our physical body, thinking little about auras - but in China, Japan and India their systems are based on the knowledge of these life fields and they're known to be very important for health.
During a session energy is drawn into your body and it flows through the energy field to your organs. Your chakras are opened and balanced. [Chakras are vortices of energy that, by virtue of their spin, pull energy into themselves like a whirlpool.] Whenever your aura is disrupted your organs don't get enough energy and become weak which allows access for infection or other physical problems.
I'll help you repair and strengthen your aura as your system learns how to bring in energy by itself. As your body strengthens it will learn how to improve its energies and cure itself while maintaining a higher level of health. You'll draw in more energy from the environment which will increase physical, spiritual, emotional and mental well being. The root cause of your ailment will improve as your physical health improves. From a holistic viewpoint - everything is connected to everything else.
Whether or not I'm aware of the scientific context, my main focus is holistic - to help you create health in all areas of life. You are helped to connect to your own creative forces as your energy is cleared and balanced.
My tools and training are very different from those of a physician. I begin with a broader view of disease and search for and address the cause, not just the symptoms. I practice preventive rather than reactive medicine and I'm more concerned with the underlying balances of energies and intention that support or reduce health. I work intuitively allowing my hands to do the work, while I give little or no explanation as to what might be happening.
How many sessions you need depends on how your system responds to a healing - how much change it [you] can take, and how long you are able to hold that change. Change isn't easy because if affects all aspects of your life and it takes time to integrate. Often a healing will change your way of looking at or dealing with an issue which could result in new lifestyles, diets, health, business, etc. A change in you affects others - sometimes resulting in opposition from those around you who are uncomfortable with new beginnings.
The acknowledged connection between mind and body suggest that a positive state of mind may heighten a treatment's affect on the body. Some people prevent health improvements by having a negative outlook, not having enough sessions, being fearful [change can be scary], or because of limited finances. All obstacles can be dealt with.
Many of my clients wish to continue the healing process long after their original complaint is gone because what they considered to be good health is no longer acceptable. Why? Healing educates and helps you to make deeper connections with your internal longings as more energy is drawn into your system. Repeated sessions are most beneficial because healings become stronger with time and enhance the healing process, which often releases creative forces resulting in an experience of personal evolution.
People seek treatment for ailments that traditional medicine is not successful with, and they are often gratified with a marked improvement in health. HEALING IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICINE - IT IS A COMPLIMENT TO IT!
Healers are usually born with a talent to be able to work with and perceive the aura and most of us are trained [like other professionals] to develop these talents into a healing art. Some Reiki practitioners are more powerful than others even when using the same system, just as some students are more receptive than others. Responsible healers work from a place of love [our greatest tool] - love is, after all, the connective tissue of the universe.
The best way to find a reliable healer is by "Word of Mouth" - get a referral from someone you know and trust.

The greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of good health and if YOU don't think you are worth it - neither will anyone else.
