Integrating Energy Healing with Bodywork: A Reiki Master's Perspective
As a Reiki Master, I've witnessed profound shifts that happen when we address both physical and energetic imbalances. While this may sound esoteric, many clients report experiences during Reiki that conventional massage alone doesn't provide—deep emotional releases, insight into pain patterns, and a sense of holistic healing.
My approach integrates Reiki seamlessly with hands-on bodywork. Some clients want pure Reiki (hands hovering just above the body), others prefer Reiki energy channeled through massage techniques. Both are effective; the choice depends on your comfort level and needs.
**What to Expect:** During a Reiki session, most clients experience deep relaxation, warmth or tingling where my hands are placed, and sometimes emotional releases. The energy goes where your body needs it most—I serve as a conduit, not the source. Many clients with anxiety, insomnia, or stress-related conditions find Reiki particularly beneficial.
I completed Reiki Master training over a decade ago specifically to offer clients a complementary approach when physical manipulation alone wasn't addressing their root issues. The mind-body connection in healing is undeniable, and Reiki helps facilitate that connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese energy healing technique that promotes healing by channeling universal life force energy. "Rei" means universal/spiritual, and "Ki" means life force energy. It works with your body's natural energy system to restore balance and promote healing.
What happens during a Reiki session?
You'll lie fully clothed on a massage table while April places her hands gently on or near your body in specific positions. You may feel warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. Many clients experience emotional releases or profound insights during sessions.
Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No! While an open mind helps, Reiki works regardless of your beliefs. It's the same as how gravity works whether you believe in it or not—energy work operates on natural principles.
Can Reiki replace medical treatment?
No. Reiki is complementary therapy that works alongside conventional medical treatments, not as a replacement. It can enhance your body's natural healing abilities and support recovery, but should not replace medical care.
