How does Reiki work?

We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

How does Reiki help people?

When your life energy is low, you’ll feel weak and be more susceptible to stress and illness, will lack confidence and not think as clearly as you usually do. When your life energy is strong, you’ll feel strong, be sure of yourself, be more creative and resourceful, have clarity of purpose and feel good about yourself and about life.

The main thing that reduces life energy is stress, and yet our lives can contain stressful experiences. As an example, there is often stress at work or at home with one’s spouse or children. There can be stress about money and about illness or unexpected events or plans that simply don’t work out. And in fact, stress is a normal part of life. And because of this, people who live happy, healthy and abundant lives aren’t people who don’t have stress in their lives; they are people who have learned to deal with stress in a healthy way. Reiki is a method of dealing effectively with stress, and its use can lead to living a happier, healthier, more abundant life.

By reducing stress, Reiki will improve your health, making it less likely that you’ll get sick. It can also promote the healing process and works well for simple things like headaches, stomachaches, sprained ankles, bee stings and so forth, but can also work alongside regular medical care for more serious illnesses or conditions such as heart disease, cancer and serious injury. Reiki has been known to reduce the negative effects of medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, thus making it easier to follow through with prescribed medical treatment.

How is Reiki treatment given?

In a standard treatment Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The whole treatment usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.

Is the effect of Distant Reiki the same as face to face sessions?

Distant Reiki has the advantage of being able to reach anyone, anywhere in the world, at any given time. If you have time or travel constraints then Distant Reiki is for you. It would be exactly like a face to face session but in the comforts of your home. I usually use a surrogate teddy bear to represent the client and contact the client 10 minutes before the session to be relaxed, comfortable and ready for the magic. Most to my clients report feeling sensations, emotional release and become very relaxed and even fall asleep. After their session, I email my impressions of their session, along with any recommendation that may help them in their journey of healing. This is followed up with a phone call to discuss and answer questions they may have.

When should I get a Reiki treatment?

Any time is a good time. We clean our house regularly because dirt and dust accumulates. In the same way, our lifestyle, stress, pressure and emotions have build up over time and blocked our “chi” or chakra so they don’t function efficiently. We see this evolves eventually into illness and disease. If we eat pizza and ice-cream everyday, we will gain weight and eventually, can potentially develop disease. Reiki is not just about relaxing your body but understanding the under lining reason for this pattern of behaviour. I would recommend going in with an open mind for maximum benefit. If you are stressed, anxious, or physically drained, an energy healing session can help you relax and feel more balanced.

What differentiates a Medium from a Psychic or Clairvoyant?

The distinction between mediums, psychics, and clairvoyants can be confusing. In fact, many believe the terms are interchangeable, but that is not the case. "Mediums are able to raise their vibration high enough to connect to the other side," Kellee White, a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual medium, explains.

Psychics tune into the energy of people or objects by feeling or sensing elements of their past, present and future. Simply put, psychics rely on their basic sense of intuition and psychic ability to gather information for the person being read.

Mediums take it a step further. A medium uses his or her psychic or intuitive abilities to see the past, present and future events of a person by tuning into the spirit energy surrounding that person. This means mediums rely on the presence of non-physical energy outside of themselves for the information relevant to the person being read.

What is a Medium?

"A medium is someone who is able to communicate with souls on the other side" Kellee White, a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual medium, says. However, contrary to popular belief, mediums do not speak with the dead. "There is no such thing as death," White explains. "There is only a transition from the physical being to the spiritual being...and mediums are sensitive and intuitive enough to hear, feel, and see information coming from the other side."

What is ThetaHealing®?

The ThetaHealing technique is a world renown healing method that was created by Vianna Stibal in 1995 during her own personal journey back to health and after she healed from a 9-in tumor her leg.

The ThetaHealing technique is a meditation technique and spiritual philosophy - not specific to one religion but accepting them all - with the purpose of getting closer to the Creator. It is a training method for your mind, body and spirit that allows you to clear limiting beliefs and live life with positive thoughts, developing virtues in all that we do. Through meditation and prayer, the ThetaHealing Technique creates a positive lifestyle.

The ThetaHealing technique is always taught to be used in conjunction with conventional medicine. It teaches how to put to use one's own natural intuition, relying upon unconditional love of Creator Of All That Is to do the actual “work.” We believe by changing your brain wave cycle to include the “Theta” state, you can actually watch the Creator Of All That Is create instantaneous physical and emotional wellbeing. We have learned that through the ThetaHealing Technique intuitive abilities can be used to bring about spontaneous physical and emotional wellbeing.

How does ThetaHealing® work?

When we change what we believe, we change how we feel, which leads to making different choices and taking new actions. Theta Healing® works by accessing the subconscious mind in order to change limiting beliefs and feelings into empowering ones. It is a meditation technique that allows access to your subconscious.

Experienced practitioners are trained to identify the limiting beliefs that are held in your subconscious mind by scanning your body and performing muscle testing, a form of applied kinesiology. These restrictive thoughts are then reprogrammed with empowering and supportive beliefs. And when your beliefs change, your thoughts, feelings and actions change.

The subconscious mind is accessed through the theta brainwave. Using an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity in the brain, scientists have discovered the emotions for bliss and internal peace are only felt when theta brainwaves are dominant.

The theta brainwave allows your conscious mind to connect to your subconscious mind where your experiences, long-term memories, creativity, emotions, spiritual connection and inspiration are stored.

We normally only experience theta waves as we drift off to sleep (during some dreaming), and as we return from the depths of delta sleep. But using theta meditation techniques, we are extremely receptive to information sent from the higher dimensions.

In order to make changes in the subconscious, though, all brainwaves are used. Practitioners consciously (beta) access the subconscious (theta) to apply super learning (gamma) to rewrite programmes into your subconscious (theta) and allow them to flow (alpha) into your present and conscious mind (beta), to change or resolve the challenges you have in your life.

How many sessions will I need?

The amount of sessions needed will vary from person to person on what they want to accomplish. Many times clients will experience a shift within one session, however sometimes the belief systems around the issue are more complex and need deeper belief work done over a few sessions to achieve their desired change. To determine how many sessions you will need ahead of time would really depend on the negative subconscious belief systems attached to your issue and how fast they reprogram into positive and empowering ones.

Is it like Reiki or other hands-on healing modalities?

Theta Healing® uses the energy of God/Creator/Source to co-create a change or transformation like many other energy healing modalities. However, no applying of hands to or near the body is necessary to change the limiting beliefs and feelings which may be linked to illness. During the session we’ll be asking you questions, so it’s a talking therapy. We simply tap into the subconscious mind and command Creator to make the changes necessary with his guidance and energy.
