What is Reiki? Benefits of Reiki including arthritis pain relief

Welcome to Epic Reiki
Your body has incredible restorative abilities. Balance body, mind and soul with the benefits of Reiki.

Many ancient civilizations held the idea that energy flows through us. Today’s scientific research backs this theory and even provides evidence that shows the existence of this energy continues outside of the physical body. It is widely accepted that imbalances and disturbances in this path of energy can relate to both physical and mental/emotional illness. Reiki is a gentle and effective practice that can be used to bring these imbalances into alignment to assist good health and promote well being.

What is Reiki? I am frequently asked what is Reiki? Reiki (pron. ray-key) is a Japanese relaxation and stress reduction technique that promotes healing. Reiki comes from two words: “Rei” meaning universal, and “Ki” meaning life energy. A Reiki Practitioner acts as a conduit who channels this guided life energy into the receiver. It is this energy, combined with your body’s own restorative abilities, that brings such benefit to a Reiki recipient. This gentle and effective practice was brought to the Western hemisphere back in the 1930’s. The medical establishment is becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of Reiki. Reiki is now being used in hospitals, clinics and by private practitioners all over the world for pain management, pre and post-operative relaxation, and many other ailments. In my own experience clients have reported extended fibromyalgia and arthritis pain relief, decreased nausea and fatigue after cancer treatments, sound and easy sleep and many other immediate benefits.

What to Expect I provide Reiki sessions in my Palatine home and also “Come to You” sessions in your home! If you are seeking arthritis pain relief, suffer from anxiety or fatigue, you may greatly benefit from sessions that you don’t have to travel to receive! Sessions last between 30 minutes and 1 hour. There are no strict rules that apply to a Reiki session. Sessions can be given while the receiver is sitting up, laying down or standing, while in the room and even on the other side of the globe!

Most often I provide a Reiki session while the receiver is laying down, fully clothed on a massage table. A “laying on of hands” style is usually favored but often the energy is also transferred through the aura by positioning the hands a few inches over the body. There are many hand positions used, to guide the energy through the chakra system and into any problem areas that have been discussed or I have intuited. Every session is unique! Some comment on feelings of warmth, or of a tingling sensation – some relay feelings of joy or release of pain or emotion. It is a relaxing and tranquil experience that allows your body and mind to rejuvenate.

It is important to note that Reiki is not a diagnostic tool nor should it be used in lieu of medical treatment. Reiki is best when used as a complementary therapy in addition to your doctor’s recommendations. Reiki is non-invasive. There are no interaction concerns with Reiki; it can be used with any and all treatments, protocols and medications. Everyone can benefit from Reiki!
