The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words: Rei, meaning Universal, and Ki, meaning Life Force Energy. Reiki is based on the principle that this Universal Energy supports the body's innate healing abilities. If one's Life Force Energy is unbalanced we are more likely to get sick or feel more stress, and if it is in balance we are more capable of being healthy and happy. The Reiki Master is a conduit for this Universal Energy, allowing it to flow to the client's body and facilitate healing.

In a Reiki session, the client lies on a massage table fully clothed. The practitioner's hands are placed lightly on or just above the client's body, palms down, using a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions. Each position is held until the practitioner feels the flow of energy has stopped or slowed. The client may notice heat from the practitioner's hands, or other physical or emotional sensations. One may care to talk, keep silent, sleep, or consciously experience the session. Most clients experience deep relaxation and a sense of well being. Sessions typically last one hour.

If you choose to manifest during the treatment, you will write your manifestation on a piece of paper and bring it to the session. These manifestations can be anything you desire. Think of currently what is most important to you. April is happy to help with writing your manifestation prior to your appointment.
