Reiki FAQ:
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing
technique which uses "universal life energy" channelled through the practitioner to the recipient, balancing the subtle energies within the body. Reiki addresses physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
imbalances.
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word consisting of two words Rei and Ki meaning
spiritually guided life energy (commonly known as Universal Life Energy), an energy which animates us all and is found all
around us.
Reiki does not require belief in order to be effective.
Being open to trying Reiki is all you need.

What does Reiki feel like?
Most people experience some or a combination of these when receiving Reiki: heat, warmth, tingles,
a sense of overall well-being, deep relaxation, positive feelings, emotional release, relief of pain, release of stress, and
clarity. How strongly you feel the energy is related to many factors, ranging from your individual sensitivity to energy to
your attitude about Reiki. Having an open mind and relaxing, gently tuned in to how you feel, can help you experience and
benefit from the energy the most.
What is Distance Healing?
Distance healing, also called “absent healing,” is a way
for a Reiki practitioner to channel Reiki or other healing energy to anyone, anywhere in the world. Healing energy is not
bound by the laws of time and space, and does not need travel time. It arrives at its destination immediately, directed by
the intention of the practitioner.
How do I know distance healing is real?
People who doubt it's possible have probably never
given it a chance. All one needs is to accept the possibility that it could work and let their own experience validate the
answer. Energy is not bound by laws of time or space. (You use a cell phone, don't you? You use electricity? You love
people? All of these are energy -invisible and powerful). I teach distance healing to healers who wish to strengthen their
abilities and confidence, and to those who are curious. I also offer distance healing to those who would like to try it for
themselves. You have nothing to lose, and so very much to gain. It can change your life. It did for me.
Is it hard to learn Reiki?
Anyone can learn Reiki. (My children, ages 2, 5, 7 and 9 all are attuned to Reiki and
use it on themselves and each other daily.) Although anyone can receive Reiki, a person who wishes
to give himself or others Reiki need first be attuned by a Reiki
Master. An attunement is a simple shift in one's energy to open the ability to bring in the energy
for him or herself. A person attuned to Reiki is able to call the energy to
flow through him or her to another person or an intention (i.e. clearing the energy of a room, healing a trauma from the past,
sending positive energy to manifest a goal, speeding healing, emotional balance, shedding negative energy, etc.)
What is an Attunement like?
An attunement feels much like a Reiki healing. But it is more because
after an attunement, you are able to work with the energy yourself, calling it in and letting it flow through you for self-healing,
healing others, or the myriad ways Reiki can benefit your life. Many people experience heat, tingles, clearing, see colors,
release emotional blockages, and some people see symbols or visions during an attunement. Whatever your experience is relates
to the way you as an individual experience energy. Once an attunement has been given by a Reiki Master, the recipient is able
to receive it simply by intending to receive the attunement. Intention is the vehicle for the energy to respond.
