Reiki Healing Touch
Reiki healing touch is a form of hands-on healing for body, mind, spirit, and relationships.
Reiki, universal divine energy, or more familiarly called called God’s Spirit in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, involves channeling the flow of God’s ever-present healing energy through your hands for the well-being of yourself and others. I teach Reiki as a form of intercessory Christian prayer in which one holds an intention for healing for another while praying for oneself to be opened as a channel for God’s healing Spirit.
Through Reiki, the Spirit brings healing and wholeness to persons in a way that is both quite mysterious and beautiful. It is not comething that anyone really controls. Once bidden, the Spirit goes where it needs to go to open the recipient to what Celtic theology would call God’s “glow flow” of love and light.
While dramatic cures may happen, most persons respond to Reiki treatments in gradual and incremental ways. A full fifty-minute Reiki “treatment” involves light touch along certain pre-set locations on the head and torso. Reiki touch can always be applied at additional points along the limbs of the body or simply as a “spot” relief for localized pain or congestion.
Those who receive Reiki often report an experience of personal peace and harmony and a feeling of deep connectedness with God, themselves, and others.
It has been my experience that Reiki enhances one sense of overall well-being, prevents illness, decreases pain, and accelerates the healing process of wounds and other injuries.
It is particulary helpful for persons living with life defining illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Reiki may be used to respond to any body, mind, or spirit issues or life situations; however, the ultimate goal of Reiki is whole-person healing (wholeness of body, mind, and spirit) and not the cure of diseases.
Reiki’s gentle touch reminds us that when there cannot be a cure, there can always be a healing—a sense of personal wholeness and well-being, even at the moment of death.
I provide Reiki healing touch in fifty-minute private, hands-on healing sessions and as part of a regular spiritual direction session if requested by my directees. I teach the Usui method of Reiki at three levels of training, including the master or “teaching” level (level 3). Contact me for more information or to set up a Reiki appointment or for current offerings in Reiki classes. If I have no Reiki class scheduled on this website, please call to indicate your interest. When I have six people interested in a particular level class, I will schedule a class.
