What is Reiki?
Usui Reiki is an energy work practice that began in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from Japanese words: "rei" meaning universal or higher power, and "ki" meaning life force energy, so reiki means universal life force energy.
Universal life force energy flows through everything. Much like we’re all made up of atoms, we all have energy flowing through us. Through life experiences, we can create stagnancies in our energy, which can lead to physical and emotional imbalance or illness. Think about how little and big physical traumas to our body can affect muscle tissues, posture, and pain. It’s the same idea only with energy. By consciously connecting to reiki energy, we promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being.
Reiki promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. It may be used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments to help manage pain, reduce anxiety, and promote overall well-being.
During a Reiki session, a practitioner can either use hand placements on the recipient or do a hands-free treatment. Either way the practitioner is connecting to universal life force energy and allowing the energy to flow through them and into the recipient. Because we’re working with energy, a seasoned reiki practitioner can work with you virtually and offer distance sessions so you can practice with someone while you’re home and/or in a different part of the world.
At The Holistic Loft, we combine reiki with coaching for a well-rounded experience. We will discuss how you’re feeling currently and if you have any questions for guidance, we’ll move into the reiki portion, and then we’ll reconvene seated and discuss what the practitioner felt during the energy session.
We offer virtual/distance sessions so even if you’re not in Lexington, KY you can book with us and we’ll meet over video chat.
Reiki & Guidance is beneficial because it helps you connect to your own energy and brings the session full circle. You receive the energy reset from the reiki and guidance on how to continue the energy flow from the guidance session.
