My Story
My path to Reiki began 6 years ago when I experienced a magnificent massage in Central California. Towards the end of the massage, I noticed that I was no longer being touched by the massage therapist. Within minutes my therapist informed me that I had responded well to the energy work. I had no idea what she was talking about. What I did know was that I felt simultaneously relaxed and energized! I skipped away from that session with a light heart, an energized body and a calm mind. I've since discovered the wonder of energy work through Reiki.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a relaxation and stress reduction process that may promote healing. It has been described as a spiritual healing art that originated in Japan in the early 1900's. A typical session lasts 60 minutes long and begins with the client relaxing on a massage table, fully clothed. The Reiki Practioner will then work above the client's body or with the client's body through light touch. Reiki energy is passed through the practioner's hands to the client, encouraging a feeling of relaxation and well-being.
History of Reiki
Reiki was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900's during intensive spiritual training on Mt. Kurama in Japan. The word Reiki is comprised of two Japanese Kanji characters: "Rei" and "ki." "Rei" can be interpreted as universal life, spiritual consciousness, or God-consciousness. Ki is life energy. If one has ever practiced Tai Chi or Qi Gong, one may be familiar with the feeling of Ki. When the Kanji characters are combined, the word Reiki can be defined as "spiritually guided life energy."
My Education
I have been certified in all 3 degrees of Usui Reiki Ryoho Reiki by core faculty person and Reiki Master, Jessica Miller, of the International Center for Reiki Training. I have sought additional training, and first and second degree certification, with Santa Barbara Reiki Master, Lillian Kurasaka.
An Invitation
At a time when our culture seems to be moving at the speed of light, I invite you to take time for yourself by slowing down and joining me in the subtle nurturing energy of Reiki.
