Reiki (pronounced "ray-kee") is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Energy." It is an expression of the energy that is in and around everything — people, plants, animals, in the air — it is everywhere.

Physicists have shown that all matter reduces down to pure energy and that all of that energy is connected. Because of that connectedness, Reiki works as well when it is sent half way around the world as it does in person.

Reiki is a healing, loving energy that can be used for stress reduction, relaxation, and emotional and physical healing on many levels. It is guided by the Source to where you specifically need it the most and is never harmful. It is a perfect complement to many traditional medical procedures, but should never be used in place of medical attention.

A Reiki practitioner is able to act as a conduit of that energy coming directly from the Source of all energy and focus it directly into the recipient's body and energy field. Each person experiences Reiki differently, as each individual connects with the energy and Spirit in their own way. Most common responses to a Reiki session include feelings of warmth, tingling, calm, peaceful serenity, or a feeling of serene connectedness.

Once only practiced in Japan, Reiki is rapidly becoming mainstream around the world. It is becoming more recognized by the medical community and more available in hospitals around the country as a complementary therapy.

Reiki sessions run for approximately one hour and can be performed locally in Phoenix at your home or at any distance. During the session, I ask that you spend the time sitting or laying down relaxing or meditating for the most beneficial effects. Soaking in a warm bath can also improve your results.
