The purpose of a Reiki session is to increase the body's energies and clear discordant energy that may exist. A Reiki session is a light hands-on or in the energy field process where a Reiki practitioner transfers universal life energy to the recipient. A Reiki session is safe, non-intrusive, and non-manipulative. There are no substances applied to the body, and the recipient remains fully clothed. During a full Reiki session, the practitioner flows healing energy to areas of the head, the upper body (from neck to pelvic area), the knees and the feet. While focus is given to the body's major organs and energy systems, every cell of the body benefits.

Reiki's healing energy has an intelligence that is beyond human consciousness and will move in the direction needed regardless of the hand position. The only thing that may limit the amount of healing energy of Reiki is the client's willingness to let go of things that no longer serve them. Reiki is a form of energy balancing and does not cure; it assists in returning the individual to a state of mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being (wholeness).

A recipient may experience a wide range of sensations during a Reiki session such as gentle tingling, heat, cold, witness visual sensations, or may feel nothing. Every Reiki session is unique, just as each of us is unique. Some reported benefits of a Reiki session are deep relaxation, increased sense of peace and well being, increased awareness, creativity, focus, feeling more balanced, and discordant patterns in your life may disappear.

Some people experience a cleansing where issues from the past and present come to the surface to be healed on the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels. Healing may take place on a level other than the physical even when one does not feel a lot during the treatment.

Jim's Reiki Session Experience:
8/22/08
I am a dandelion -
I grow into a big fuzzy ball of seeds
and as the breeze comes along
plucking the seeds one by one
they go hither and yon,
and I become instead of a unit,
multiple things,
all with a source of Life.
(Jim was my father-in-law
and a Reiki III practitioner) P.W.

Testimonial on a Distant Reiki treatment:

During the approximately 30 minutes that we talked while Patricia was sending me Reiki, the discomfort I had prior to calling subsided completely. The day before, I had sustained the full weight of a 220 lb. man as he tripped and fell into me.  Actually, as he instinctively braced himself to keep from falling his outstretched hand pushed right on my heart center.  I withstood the impact without falling back, but several hours later started to experience pain in several areas of my body including my back, neck and heart center.  I did Reiki myself and used certain stones with it as well as Arnica, but I still had a noticeable level of discomfort the next day.  During the conversation with Patricia, she started to send me distant Reiki and continued for about 30 minutes.  By the end of the phone call, I was entirely pain free.  She contacted me a few days later to see how I was doing.

Patricia is compassionate, concerned and mindful of boundaries.  She also encourages one to participate in one’s own healing – offering suggestions but not giving directions.  Her high ethical standards coupled with compassion are just what you would expect as part of this spiritually based healing work. She is clearly an open channel for Reiki.  F.S.
