Reiki Sessions

Reiki is a Japanese style of healing for the mind and body. Injury/trauma at a physical/emotional level is stored at the cellular level. When Reiki restores our mind to peace, our body returns to balance; our cells remember and we can aid our healing.

TAKE ONE HOUR
to allow Reiki
to help you restore
your natural balance and inner peace.

What can Reiki do?

This list has been comprised through anecdotal research. Clients have reported feeling:

More Creative
More Balanced
Less Emotional
Less Stressed
More Relaxed
More Vitality
More Awareness
Less or no Pain
More ability to fall asleep quickly
More ease of movement

These reported benefits generally lasted at least three to ten days, and often the original problem did not re-occur.

What is a treatment or session like?

The client, fully clothed, lies on the treatment table. A standard Reiki treatment includes placing the hands above the body, or on, the head, shoulders, heart, stomach and feet. In addition, other positions may be used for specific conditions the client may have.

Each position is held 2 to 15 minutes and the entire treatment lasts 45 to 90 minutes. Originally Mikao Usui would have placed his hands on a few places on the head, and then worked on the places of illness or injury, all while the patient sat on the floor.

The private areas are worked on 4-6” above the body. There is no manipulation of the skin or tissue. Reiki is not massage. A treatment creates a wonderful radiance that is deeply relaxing and includes many beneficial effects for both client and practitioner. At the very least, you will feel very relaxed during a session, often to the point of falling asleep. A Reiki session always seems to impress those who say they find it difficult to relax.

Many individuals report feeling cold, pulsating heat, or a tingling sensation during a session, and most enter a calm, relaxed state. In some, chronic or acute pain can diminish or completely vanish. Sometimes allergies and other infirmities completely disappear. It's different for each person.

It's important to remember that, whatever is troubling us, “we didn't get this way overnight” and we might not “recover overnight”, either. Reiki is not any more magical than any other modality or allopathic medicine. Healing takes commitment and it takes time... one moment at a time.

What can be expected after a session?

Directly after a Reiki session, you should allow yourself time to come fully back into your awareness. You may feel so relaxed that you are spaced-out. It is suggested to sit for 15 minutes and sip a cool glass of water. Becoming in touch with the soles of your feet and their placement on the floor also helps a great deal.

Over the next little while, you may notice that you are de-toxifying the waste that has built up in your system. You may want to allow more time in the “little room” (the washroom) in the morning. You should increase your water and/or herbal tea intake so that the toxins are flushed out more readily. You may want to rest more, so allow time for that.

Most people feel an immediate improvement in their level of pain and in their mind-set. Energy and alertness increase daily and a feeling of overall well-being may be noticed.

How is Reiki a holistic approach to my well-being?

It is strongly recommended that you do not discontinue any medications or session plan your medical practitioner or other holistic healer has deemed necessary, unless you first speak with them personally. Reiki energy works in concert with all other forms of therapy. It is a wonderful complement to other treatments. We can all work together to get you feeling healthier, happier and more whole. This is the holistic approach.

If you would like to explore becoming a Reiki practitioner, we offer training in Usui Japanese Reiki from 1st Degree through to Teacher training. Take a look here at our courses. The full schedule will be available on our calendar.

Contact The Dojo to book your session. Robert and Lorie offer a balance of male and female energy for your session. Robert works on opening your crown to the flow of life force, reminding you to breathe. Lorie helps you ground and remember your connection to the earth. Through this hour, your intention will guide the energy and we will assist in creating a safe space for you to release your stresses and connect again to inner peace.

Reiki Testimonials

"I am so grateful to both you and Rob for your help. I was amazed at how in tune you both were to what was going on with me in terms of "my issues" and my energy. Everything each of you said to me was exactly as you said. I was especially amazed by how you knew what was going on with my energy. Do you see it? Feel it? Know? At one point, Rob started to say, "Open up your..." and I assumed he was going to say throat chakra because that is usually where things get stopped up, so I opened it up wide. And Rob finished with, "...heart." Then added "No not your throat, your heart chakra." It felt right that you could both know these things but in retrospect I am ... okay I'll say it again...amazed!! You spoke truth Lorie. Quite honestly I don't think I have ever been so open but I'm glad I was. I am strong today and trusting the flow. I'm actually a bit excited to see where this leads. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart."

love,
CR

"I feel strong in my heart.
I was feeling a little sick.
but I am thankful for the enlightenment and the knowledge, I have been restored"

"Your question of How I am Choosing; not sure I have been choosing anything but definitely feel my thoughts have never been this clear, my purpose so defined and my mind so at peace with who I am. Not that I feel comfortable enough to say out loud to anyone other than the two of you, but I love who I am today, I feel lucky and blessed, grateful for how God made me, grateful for all my creative talents and abilities. Today, I love my life. Today, I have this overwhelming feeling that I have everything I need. I do not merely have enough, I am in abundance of all.

I thank the universe for directing me to your door and I want to thank the both of you because I know my life will never be the same again. Although I do not have any sure direction of the life I am going to now create, I am so grateful and happy to be in this place today of peace and well-being.

P.S. I am better than good enough, I am perfect just the way I am."

Thank you both,
MS
