“Reiki” means “Universal” + “Life Force Energy.” It is the vibrational energy within and between all living things. To practice Reiki or to receive a treatment session is to tap into the mindfulness of this energy, and with intention, using it to release our tensions and heal wounds- physically, emotionally and spiritually. The body and spirit have a memory that stores up joy and pain (trauma), and by activating the energy within, you can set free any energy that has been stuck and therefore has caused you dis-ease in life.
Reiki is like a massage for your energy. It is all about revealing where the energy lives in your body and where it’s free-flowing versus blocked, stuck, or lower-vibrational.
​
Reiki gives you a boost of energy. It can leave you feeling energized and relaxed simultaneously. It lifts the spirit so that you can feel joyful, calm, and inspired. Some people feel the energy flow through them like a current. They experience it like a tingling sensation, warmth, and sometimes like a magnetic charge coursing through your body. Many people go into a nice deep trance state, because your experience will be very much like meditation.
Many guests leave feeling lighter and at peace. If you pursue Reiki to heal physical pain you might notice some alleviation right away or over the course of a few sessions. If you come with an intention, it can help give you clarity and insight about it. When negative or stuck-energy is released it can feel emotional, transformational, and powerful. Sessions with Beth are a safe container to feel whatever you feel and discuss it as you need.
Reiki is a come-as-you-are practice. Simply wear comfortable clothing that you can lie down and breathe comfortably in. Beth will
invite you to remove your shoes as a grounding technique, but it is up to you. It is best to turn your phone off and set aside technology so that you can focus in the present moment.
​
If you want to mindfully prepare for your session you can:
1. Set an intention for healing. Think and meditate on it for a little while.
2. Eat cleanly and drink plenty of water.
3. Journal before and/or after this session (write about your intentions, how you feel, and what “comes up” for you, or any
synchronicities in life that feel related to the work.
4. Ground your energy with some quiet time, connect to the earth.
5. Stretch or do yoga beforehand, allowing your body to release tension.
6. If you have crystals or totems of healing that you work with on your own, you are welcome to bring them so they can receive the energy charge and cleansing from the session as well.
When the session is complete, drink plenty of water, take it easy, rest. Reiki gives you a lot of energy but it can also leave you ready for more rest. (and helps you sleep deeply). Reiki energy continues processing in your body and the world around you for 24 to 48 hours. Notice the abundance of synchronicities and Universal guidance relating to messages you received from the session’s work. After the session, Beth can recommend crystals and further practices to heal based on your individual intentions!
