What is Reiki?
REIKI is a Japanese term (pronounced
ray – key).
The term rei means “universal” and ki
is similar to chi, meaning “life energy.”
Therefore, the terms together are often translated as “universal
life energy” or
“spiritually directed
life force energy.”
Reiki is a method of Natural Healing that empowers
the individual to heal
the body, mind, emotions and spirit. It involves
gentle hand placement on
the body, while fully clothed. It is not a form
of massage, but rather a form
of energy balancing within the chakra system.
Reiki can be used as a
method for self-healing and for working with others.
Reiki
Principles - USUI SHIKI RYOHO
Just for today, let go of anger.
Just for today, let go of worry.
Just for today, do your (spiritual) work honestly.
Honor your parents, teachers and elders.
Show gratitude and respect to everything.
~Adapted from Mikao Usui

Philosophy
of Reiki:
• The body has an innate
wisdom to heal itself, as does every living
thing in nature.
• Reiki restores balance,
which enhances the body’s ability to naturally
heal itself.
• Reiki is a healing energy,
which is transferred through gentle hand
positions
with the intention of healing for the highest
good of the person.
• Reiki can also be used
for preventive care – such as relaxation,
stress
reduction
and spiritual development. Balancing life energy
allows us to
maintain health
and vitality.
• Reiki can be used in
conjunction with regular medical care. Reiki is
currently
being used in medical settings as a complementary
therapy
for reducing
pain, aiding in recovery for surgeries, cancer
treatments,
heart patients,
child birth, hospice, and for chronic pain conditions
related to
stress.
Examples
of possible treatments using Reiki:
• Preventative Care: Relaxation,
Stress Reduction, Meditation, and
Spiritual
Development helps to keep your body in balance.
• Stress related issues
with stomach, head, back, etc. can respond
very quickly
in one or two sessions. (A change in lifestyle
will be
needed to
keep them from recurring!)
• Chronic pain conditions
may need several treatments on a weekly
or daily basis
for a longer period of time. This is up to the
individual’s
goals for
healing, not dependant on the practitioner.
• Fractures and sprains
– once it is set can accelerate healing
process.
• Medical interventions
– preparing for surgery and to help alleviate
pain.
• Emotional and Mental
Health - to help heal imbalances & reduce
stress.
• Cancer – can help
reduce side effects of radiation & chemotherapy,
and can help
with emotional healing needed while going through
this
process.
• Childbirth – support
the mother by helping her to relax, breathe easier,
and focus
which can help alleviate some of the pain and
anxiety.
• Hospice Care –
offer moments of peace; ease pain and anxiety.
If
offered to
the family and friends, can help ease the emotional
loss.

What
can I expect during a Reiki Healing Session?
The session begins with a brief guided meditation
to relax your body,
quiet your mind and focus inward. The practitioner
works on the front
and back of the body by placing her hands for
several minutes on
specific body positions to release and balance
your energy. During
the session, you are fully clothed while lying
on a massage table. Reiki
can also be done while sitting in a chair for
a shorter treatment.
The length of the sessions can vary depending
on your healing needs
and goals. A typical 1-hour session includes a
guided meditation, a
full body treatment, and time to process your
experience before and
after the treatment. Spiritual Counseling can
be offered to support you
in your healing journey in order to process some
of the healing insights
that arise for you.
What
happens after a Reiki session?
As a session ends, most people feel very relaxed
and peaceful. Usually
insights arise to help you understand your own
healing process. Internal
guidance for your healing process can continue
to come into your
awareness throughout the next week. Emotional
balancing, heightened
awareness, intuitive responses and vivid dreams
are all normal after a
Reiki session. It is important to drink plenty
of water to aid the body
in restoring balance. Scheduling future Reiki
Sessions is up to the
healing goals of the individual. This can be done
on a weekly, monthly
or as needed basis. Some people choose to become
trained in Reiki to
be able to deepen their self-healing journey on
a daily basis.

Scheduling and Pricing for Classes
Christine is a Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher
that is dedicated
to the personal growth and training of her students.
Training is often
taught on an individual basis or in small groups
to ensure personal
attention. Christine is committed to teaching
students that understand
that true healing comes from within. She teaches
in a manner that
creates a mentoring relationship for support and
guidance through
your journey. Christine teaches this as a path
of self-healing and
service. Due to the individual attention given
during training,
pricing and class size
may differ from other practitioners.
Christine also teaches this class with Reiki Level
1 focusing on only
self-healing, and Reiki Level 2 introduces working
with others. Being a
practitioner means that you develop and practice
your own spiritual
discipline on a daily basis, it does not imply
that one has to work with
others. This is a difference from other practitioners
that allows the
student to develop a personal relationship with
reiki and their own healing
process, and to proceed with training at a comfortable
pace. Christine
encourages one to interview and ask questions
of each teacher to find
the one that is most appropriate for your learning
goals.
Optional and highly recommended to deepen
ones personal journey
is to have 1-2 Individual Sessions prior to starting
the class, and a
session one month after finishing the class.
