What is Reiki? 

            Reiki is a healing and enlightenment system, which allows you to heal yourself and others with the laying on of hands.  It was discovered and initially taught by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900s and was brought to the Western world by Mrs. Hawayo Takata.  Reiki is easy to learn, easy to use and anyone can do it.

            Practicing Reiki is a process of being aware of and using the Rei (Universal) Ki (Energy) to adjust vibrations within and around the physical body.  All matter has vibration and when the vibrations within our bodies become unbalanced energetically we begin to see and feel signs physically.  Rather than approaching the imbalance from the side of the symptoms, Reiki goes straight to the energetic heart of the matter to heal.  The causes of imbalance can be emotional and spiritual which is why Reiki can accomplish healing impossible with Western medicine alone.  Reiki does not replace a doctor’s care, when indicated, but can compliment any other healing practice. 

            A Reiki session is very nurturing and relaxing.  When used alone, clothing remains on.  When combined, Reiki and massage can bring the client to an even deeper level of relaxation, healing and spiritual connection.  During a session the practitioner will connect with the Reiki energy and the clients’.  This may be done with hands on the body or hovering above, working on the aura, or energy surrounding the physical body.  Because each Reiki practitioner will have his or her own ways of connecting with the energy and because each time someone receives a session they can be in a different energetic “place” there is no one, constant Reiki experience.  The body and spirit will have a unique experience with each treatment. 

            Techniques used by a Reiki practitioner may include deep breathing, scanning the body or aura, using Reiki symbols or pendulums or following the advise of guides in addition to the simple laying on of hands.  These other methods are simply tools.  The laying on of hands with the intention of directing the Reiki to the ends needed by the receiver is the true power of this tremendous healing modality. 

            Once the work has begun, the Reiki practitioner will channel the universal energy to the client, which can move in several directions.  The introduction of Reiki will release energies that have been stagnant or in excess, renew and refresh areas that are depleted of necessary energy flow or, most commonly a combination of exchange of old and new ki. To the receiver, this can feel hot, cold, tingly or pulsating, but always relaxing and pleasant.  And because of its non-invasive nature, Reiki is safe for anyone in any physical condition.  The results may be subtle or profound.  They may make themselves known through a decrease in chronic pain or anxiety, a better night’s sleep or an increase in self-love or confidence. 

            Reiki requires no commitment to an ideology and is not connected to any religious system.  It is simply here to aid us in our personal responsibility to take care of our bodies, minds and spirits.

            For more information about Reiki and how it can help you or those you love, please ask me.  I am Courtney Chatterton, Reiki Master Teacher and Licensed Massage Therapist.  My intention with Reiki is to improve the way we all feel about ourselves and our abilities to learn from, and use the experiences we encounter in life.  Not until we address the energetic roots of what afflicts us can we begin to feel better and experience the joy our lives were meant to hold. 

            Reiki is taught in 3 levels.  Level 1 classes are forming now and will be held at Dragonfly Arts & Wellness Center at 79 Mill Street in Middletown on Sunday, July 27.  If you are interested in becoming trained and attuned to Reiki Level 1, please contact us at (860)704-8089 or email us at dragonflyartsandwellness.com.
