Reiki is an ancient hands-on healing art rediscovered in the early 1900s by a Japanese scholar, Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese word representing "Universal Life Force" — the energy around and within you. This "intelligent energy" activates and supports your natural ability to restore spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical balance and optimal health. Since Reiki harmonizes the subtle energies of the mind, body and spirit, it is ideal for addressing issues such as chronic ailments, stress, anxiety, physical trauma, emotional distress.

The Process

Fully clothed, you lie on a massage table, and you listen to Stephanie's guided visualization statements which prompt your body and mind into a state of relaxation. The calm and sacred environment fully supports you to surrender to the experience. There is a hands-on body form which begins at the head and moves down the body. The sacred, intuitive touch supports all areas of the body, but you can request Reiki to relieve physically stressed areas in the body. The state of stillness may calm your busy mind, so your body can begin to heal and re-vitalize itself, but if you have any questions or insights you'd like to share during the session, it is absolutely appropriate to do so.

 

The Usui System of Reiki has 3 levels of training: First Degree, Second Degree, and Mastery.

First Degree

This introductory level is for anyone interested in hands-on energy healing. The 2- to 3-day class covers:

  • the history and precepts of the Usui System of Reiki Healing to bring balance into your life

  • four attunements to enliven the spiritual dimension of this method and to heighten your perceptions of subtle energies and your ability to easily tap into the universal energy field when your hands are placed on yourself or another

  • the patterned progression of hand positions for use both in the treatment of others and in self-treatment

The certificate given at the end attests that you have participated in all aspects of the level I training in the Usui System of Reiki Healing and that the Master has presented all components of that system. Knowledge of this healing art will continuously be revealed as you:

  • engage in the daily practice of the form on yourself;

  • contemplate daily the Five Reiki Precepts;

  • meet together to exchange treatments and share experiences;

  • to contact the Reiki Master if questions arise.

Second Degree

Second Degree teaching inherently increases your desire to be fully responsible for your choices in life. The 2-day class covers:

  • a review of the forms and principles of the Usui System of Reiki Healing

  • the three symbolic patterns that focus Reiki energy for sending a distant healing treatment as well as for furthering the mental, spiritual, and emotional healing process for yourself and for others

  • the power of intent and how the 3 symbols can be used in everyday life

  • the principle of "non-interference" and the responsible nature of serving as an energy channel

  • an additional attunement to further enhance your ability to interact with this "intelligent energy"

The Second Degree practice helps you learn how to let go, to let others be, and trust the process of life.

Path of Mastery

Being a Master in the Usui System of Reiki Healing is not a profession but a way of being and relating with the world. If after the 2 levels of training and at least 1 year of practice you feel called to teach Reiki as a spiritual path, Heartsong Medicine offers a one-on-one mentorship approach. The Reiki Mastery program is a minimum of 1 year. This program is a co-created contract between the Initiate and the Master.  We are all unique and so is an apprenticeship. Following your heart, living the path of Reiki is an individualized journey of commitment, healing, practicing, learning, facilitating, and serving with humility. It is a way of living.

 

  • Is Reiki for people who are chronically ill or feeling sick?

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.

    Can I receive Reiki while pregnant?

    Absolutely! Reiki provides the vital life energy you need to manage the transformational changes taking place as well as the mental emotional stress. Having received Reiki throughout all aspects of my own three pregnancies and deliveries, I can only say that Reiki was a blessing and a daily practice at that time in my life. It made a huge difference.

    How often should I receive Reiki?

    It is entirely a personal choice. The more you receive Reiki, the better you feel. When there is a chronic health issue or a physical trauma, the sooner you receive Reiki the faster the body heals. Frequent Reiki sessions help you to feel more centered and integrated in everyday living. Reiki is always helpful when you are facing chronic illness such as cancer, asthma, migraines etc. Reiki provides you with the energy to cope with inner turmoil and fears. This often provides what you need to change your relationship or perception with the nature of your suffering.

    After a session what should I do?

    • Drink water & fluids; try to avoid alcohol for a day or two.

    • Take time to relax to adjust to the effects of renewed energy levels

    • Pay more attention to any thoughts, insights, dreams, and intimate conversations that you have within a few days of having received Reiki... solutions to issues or problems often present themselves in this way

    • Feel free to email or call if you have any questions or concerns following the session.
