Sauk Valley Reiki
The peaceful way to health & relaxation.
* What is Reiki? Reiki is a simple energy practice that helps the body to naturally heal itself on all levels of existence: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Reiki helps the client to enter into a state of deep relaxation. The practitioner transmits Universal Life Energy to the client to create deep relaxation to help reduce pain, speed the body's natural healing process, relieve stress, and reduce other unpleasant symptoms. "Life Energy" is also commonly known as "chi," "ki," or "prana."
*What is a session like? During a Reiki session, you can expect to lay or sit comfortably, while the practitioner gently places their hands on or just above you, depending on your comfort level. Many people feel heat, tingling or lightness, and clients generaly experience a feeling of deep relaxation during the session. Reiki will help you get to a place where your mind and body can heal itself. Most people feel very relaxed and refreshed after a session. The Reiki energy works for a few days to help you feel better and heal.
*How often should I receive treatments? It is up to the individual. Many people like to have weekly treatments for relaxation and healing. Others like to treat themselves occasionally, and some people use it to compliment other medical treatments and reduce the negative effects of necessary procedures. (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy, etc.)
*Can Reiki replace a medical doctor? Reiki is best used in conjunction with traditional medical treatment, or for relaxation (similar to a massage). Many hospitals in the U.S. are suggesting Reiki sessions for their patients. (including large, respected facilities like Johns Hopkins and Mayo Clinic) Recent studies show that clients receiving Reiki had lower vital signs including heart rate, respiration and blood pressure. Other studies also showed favorable results for post operative pain after tooth extraction, cognition related to dementia and Alzheimers in elderly patients, pre-operative relaxation, post-operative pain, depression/stress, and pain levels in chronically ill patients.
*Can Reiki hurt me? No. Reiki energy knows where your body needs healing and can never do damage.
