About Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ‘Ray-key’) is derived from the Japanese words ‘Rei’ meaning universal & ‘Ki’ meaning energy. Therefore, Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy. It is a healing technique using the” laying on of hands” to treat & soothe physical, mental & emotional pain. Reiki rebalances the body’s energies to create wellness. It is deeply relaxing & reduces stress .Reiki has been around for thousands of years originating in ancient eastern traditions & rediscovered in the 1800’s by a Japanese doctor named Mikao Usui.

What are the benefits ?

Reiki can alleviate tension, fatigue & pain as it heals & rejuvenates the body. It is both powerful & gentle. Reiki is an excellent complement to traditional therapies. It is also an wonderful option when conventional treatments are not working well. Reiki speeds healing & enhances the immune system . In its long history of use it has aided virtually every known illness & injury from headaches & insomnia to serious problems such as cancer & depression. Today Reiki is practised in hospitals, clinics & alternative health centres all over the world.

How does it work ?

The practitioner works with the client’s energy centers or chakas to remove energy blockages & rebalance the human energy field. If we are out of balance we may feel stressed, tired, in pain & can have a multitude of symptoms. These range from generally feeling out of sorts to experiencing chronic ongoing disorders which can eventually lead to a state of dis-ease or serious illness. Balancing the chakras opens the way for healing, psychological development & spiritual growth. The chakras are the key to physical health, emotional stability & mental clarity .

What happens during a Reiki treatment?

The practitioner gently places their hands on the client’s body . The client lies on a massage table & is fully clothed. Reiki is not a form of massage as there is no skin manipulation. A full session lasts about an hour or a little longer. It is non–invasive, holistic & safe.

What does it feel like to receive a Reiki treatment ?

The experience will vary from person to person / session to session. However, generally it is deeply relaxing & feels wonderful. There is usually a pleasant & peaceful overall feeling .. a feeling of radiance like a warm glow. The client often feels a sensation of heat flowing from the practitioner’s hands. The client may also fall asleep.

How many sessions will I need ?

This varies greatly depending on the individual . Long standing &/ or serious ailments typically require three or more sessions . When a person generally feels well Reiki is a wonderful method of health maintenance .. in this case receiving a treatment every 4-6 weeks is ideal to remain balanced & well .

Does someone have to “ believe “ in Reiki for it to be effective ?

Absolutely not . All that is required is the permission of the individual to receive healing energy. It is just as effective whether or not the client believes it works.

Is their a scientific basis to Reiki ?

Yes. Energy or electromagnetism can be measured within & around our physical bodies. It is merely an extension of Einstein’s discovery that “All matter , including the physical body is made up of energy.”

Can animals receive Reiki ?

Yes! It is a wonderful treatment for pets as well as people.

Testimonials

I’m Now Cancer-Free

Reiki is very relaxing and a enjoyable healing experience. Four months ago I was given 8 months to live with throat cancer. I am now cancer free and in full remission. I truly believe that Reiki was a huge part of my overcoming this awful disease. Worth every penny.

I Recommend Reiki Heals!

I have suffered two concussions within a 6 month period, while going through a lot of stressful life changes and could not find anything that helped me to heal or get my energy back, until I began coming to Linda for reiki treatments. Each session I left feeling lighter, happier, and began getting my mental clarity back. She has helped me so much when I didn’t know where else to turn. She has been extremely helpful & easy to talk to. I have new hope & a better outlook on everything because of reiki. I would recommend for everyone to try it, it can help in all aspects of your life.

Success with Reiki

‘My back is 100 % better than it was before yesterday’s treatment & the pain is less intense. Linda is very easy to speak to & I found her Reiki treatment to be the most successful therapy having tried a chiropractor & acupuncturist previously.’

Chris L, Surrey BC

Phenomenal

‘Last year, when my Dad was in palliative care he was very negative. He would go on for hours about his many problems. To say the least it wasn’t very pleasant visiting him near the end of his time here on earth. Until the day Linda a ( Reiki Master) gave him a treatment. As the treatment began an incredible calm came over him. And from that day on he never uttered a negative word again. It was phenomenal! I believe to this day it was the Reiki that changed him. If anyone out there is experiencing the same thing I did, try it, you have nothing to lose and you might be pleasantly surprised.’

James, Langley BC

No More Pain Killers

‘I was told I had a ‘frozen shoulder.’ Very painful. Nothing took the pain away except strong pain killers. Linda offered to give me some Reiki treatments. I have to say I was very skeptical. During the first treatment she gave me I noticed that my joints felt warm from her hands which made the pain less noticeable. The next day she offered to do another treatment. A couple of days later I noticed that I could lift my arm up on the table without me lifting it up with my other hand. A few days later she gave me one more treatment. I could do quite a bit with my arm and I was no longer having to take pain killers. It’s been two weeks now and my shoulder is just about back to normal. I thank Linda for the care and compassion she had in spending some of her time in helping me get over one of my most painful experiences I have ever had.’ ( note : medical sources indicate it takes from 5 months to 3 years to recover from frozen shoulder )

Alice, Fernie BC

Enlightening

‘Reiki is an experience unique to the individual. It heals and soothes and brings about change, often in ways we cannot conceive; at least this was the case with my experience. The change has been amazing and enlightening. I would recommend Reiki to anyone with an open mind and a will for personal enlightenment and fulfillment.’

Len, Surrey BC

I Highly Recommend This Class

‘I enjoyed this Level 1 class very much. Linda’s enthusiasm and friendly teaching style made the learning experience fun and easy with a nice balance between theory and ‘hands-on’ practice. Already I feel confident in healing myself and members of my family. I highly recommend this class.’
