The practitioner is the conduit between the recipient and Reiki : Universal Life Force Energy, and guides the energy to the recipient’s body and energy field. Reiki flows where the energy is stagnant, blocked, and unbalanced, and by raising the energy vibrations, it will help to restore the balance and increase natural ability to heal.
We are all born with Universal Life Force Energy, Intelligence, our ability to heal ourselves (please read What is REIKI? for more). But over the course of our lives, we accumulate negative energy patterns physically, emotionally, mentally, and sometimes spiritually, too. Those patterns causes disruption in our well-beings.
Our Mind-Body knows where the healings are needed. But it becomes hard when the energy field or flow is disrupted too much or too long.
By trusting the recipient’s Mind-Body’s intelligence and Reiki energy, the practitioner sense subtle energy fields, and use intuition and guidance to see where the energy is needed, allow the energy flow to restore the balance.
A typical session takes 45 min. to 1 hour. The recipient always fully clothed, preferably lie down on massage table. The practitioner may or may not touch the recipient, but use the hands to generate the energy flow.
