How does Reiki work?

“ Reiki ® is a system that has a higher vibrational approach than what we’re used to in Reiki Usui. You can not be a Karuna Reiki Master without being a Reiki Master for at least six months prior to taking certification classes.” - The International Center of Reiki Training

Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is also used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as "compassionate action." It is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by prajna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.

What Happens in a Karuna Reiki Session?

1. Meet for 15-20 mins to discuss your particular concerns or goals for the session.

2. I will have you lay on the table and begin to initiate Holy Fire Energy.

3. I will scan your body and see if there are any areas in need of Reiki.

4. I will begin to give reiki in those areas.

5. I will then begin Reiki at the head by placing my hands on your clothed body.

6. I will make my way all the way down to your feet 

7. I will finally complete the energetic work that was done.

8. I will then bring you back to the present moment. 

9. I will answer any questions that you might have and recommend drinking water.

10. I will follow up with you to find out how you feel and if you have any questions. 

Reiki Guided Meditation

Meditations and affirmations are powerful tools to help us connect and stay connected with our highest selves. They are an ideal way to bring ourselves into alignment with the best version of ourselves. Reiki Guided meditations help guide your body into a state of relaxation where the body can reach higher states of consciousness. The experience will take you on a powerful journey through visualizations, use of your senses, and your imagination. These experiences can be done in person or via the internet. Once the meditation is over you will feel refreshed and renewed. 

Reiki Guided Sound Baths

Sound Baths are an immersive experience where you are enveloped in sound and vibrations. It is almost as if you were taking a bath in a pool of sound. Sound Baths are a healing experience on its own as you are able to dive deep with and allow yourself to overcome obstacles or blockages, to assist you in manifesting your goals and dreams, and even to heal emotional and mental trauma. Now imagine having all of the above but also infusing the power of Reiki? This experience is like no other and can be transformational and calming.
