It is a hands-on healing art and practice that attunes and develops natural latent human healing energy. It balances body, mind, heart, and spirit in a structured way through light, gentle, non-intrusive touch and compassionate intention and regard. A Jikiden Reiki treatment simply supports the whole person physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually while drilling down on specific issues. Treatments are generally concentrated on the head, upper back, soles of the feet, kidneys, and areas that are of concern to the patient.

The client lies fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table with soft lighting and relaxing music playing. Treatment usually starts with gentle touch to the head, feet, or abdomen.

Practitioners use the concept of Byosen, following the sensations in their hands that tell them which areas of the body need reiki most.  For some, 1- 3 treatments are enough to help them recover from a problem and for others a longer course of treatment is necessary. While definite benefit can be gained from a single treatment, to get the best results from Reiki, regular sessions are important.

Jikiden Reiki allows you to experience a Japanese form of Usui Reiki in its original beauty and simplicity, without any Western influence. Before Reiki came to the United States and was “adapted” to Western practitioners, Jikiden Reiki, the original form of Reiki practiced and taught by Usui himself, was kept pure and taught via oral tradition alone. I am a proud practitioner in this lineage, as I am fifth in the lineage of this pristine tradition and am certified directly out of Kyoto, Japan where I am a member in good standing of The Jikiden Reiki Association.

 

Although the experience of Jikiden Reiki treatment is completely individual -- experienced by both the client and the practitioner as a variety of sensations, including heat, cold, vibration, tingling, unusual heaviness or lightness, or no sensation at all -- it is often reported as accompanied by a deep feeling of warmth, well-being, comfort, deep relaxation, and revitalization. Reiki relaxes muscles, stills the mind, and eases pain. Reiki treatments have been scientifically shown to accelerate healing.

- On the physical level, Jikiden Reiki can bring relaxation to stressed muscles, decrease pain, and accelerate the healing time of bones and wounds.

- On a mental and emotional level, anxiety is reduced, a sense of well-being is increased, and another level of relaxation can be felt. Bad habits can be worked on. At this degree of deep relaxation, a rebalancing of energies can occur, and the natural healing ability of the body is stimulated and enhanced.
