Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
Reiki pronounced (Ray-Kee) is universal-life force energy. When our universal life force energy is depleted or blocked, stagnation occurs in the body, which impacts the mind, body, and spirit. This stagnation manifests as depression, anger, resentment, and physical dis-ease in the body. Reiki is widely known as an ancient Japanese practice, but it can also be traced back to ancient Egypt.
What happens in a Rays of Love Wellness Reiki session?
Our Reiki practitioners began by blessing and reiking the space. Before the session begins, a chakra reading is provided to assess the client’s energy centers.
To the client’s discretion, the practitioner commences the session with a prayer. Clients lie on a massage table, fully clothed, on their backs. Before concluding the session, clients are prompted to lie on their stomachs to receive energy healings on the back of the chakras.
At the end of the Reiki treatment, the client is debriefed and given recommendations on how to continue improving the health of the chakras. Clients will benefit from sound frequencies, aromatherapy and chromotherapy during the session.
What sensations might I experience during a Reiki session?
Please remember Reiki is an energy healing method and facilitates the body’s natural healing abilities at the cellular level, helping the body detox. This means that clients may experience various forms of emotional and physical release. This includes crying, belching, flatulence, coughing, and dispelling mucus. Clients may also experience physical releases such as shaking, signifying the release of energy blockages and energy flow adjustments.
Rays of Love Wellness clients have reported feeling warmth, tingling sensations, seeing colors and visitations from loved ones who are deceased. Please do not be alarmed; these experiences are normal and are a part of the healing process. When the body is detoxing, energy is released, which creates sensations in the body and makes space for divine energy to flow. Your job is to surrender to the process. Reiki can not harm you.
Will I experience any symptoms after a Reiki session?
Reiki activates the body’s detoxification process, and clients may experience slight physical pain or flu-like symptoms, also known as a “healing crisis”. This is a positive sign that the body is releasing toxins and energy blockages. Many hospitals, including Johns Hopkins, George Washington University Medical Center, Walter Reed Medical Center, and others nationwide have established Reiki programs.
