What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a healing modality that channels natural occurring abundant life force energy that exists all around us. This Japanese technique is used for stress reduction, relaxation, immune support and healing of injuries and trauma to the body and mind on all levels. The therapist places his/her hands on the main energy centers of the body (chakras and meridians*) to assist the mind & body with balancing Qi/Chi (energy) encouraging the body’s natural ability to heal to its natural state of wellness. {*Chakras provides the energy to supplement what we receive from the food we eat and the air we breathe. Muscles surrounding the chakras hold emotional memories. Meridians are the highways between chakras, organs, muscles and connective tissue}. This gentle, comforting treatment is performed in comfortable clothing in a tranquil setting.
Today, people who practice Reiki mostly use the methods developed by Dr. Usui, the founder of Usui Reiki. The 5 principles of Reiki (in the picture above) was fashioned by him to have no dogma or religious beliefs attached to them. This makes them universal.
Why Reiki works?
Our bodies are well equipped to handle stress in small doses (acute stress), but when that stress becomes long-term (chronic), it can have serious effects on your body. When the body is stressed, muscles tense up —the body’s way of guarding against injury and pain. When muscles are taut and tense for long periods of time, this may trigger other reactions in the body, such as chronic fatigue, metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity), depression, immune disorders, gut & digestion issues, panic attacks, elevated blood pressure, decrease in sexual desire and other stress-related disorders.
Relaxation techniques and stress-relieving activities and therapies such as Reiki have been shown to effectively reduce muscle tension, decrease the incidence of certain stress-related disorders, and increase a sense of well-being. Touch, skillfully executed, conveys safety and connection. Such an environment is conducive for stored memories to surface. Science is discovering unprocessed/repressed memories /emotions to be the root cause of acute and later, chronic illness.
Scientists have discovered that certain energy fields/brain wave frequencies (eg. Alpha & Theta that can be achieved via Reiki)^ that:
In clinical settings, nurses and physicians say Reiki treatments make a patient:
“Reiki brings you what you need at the time”. So, some people might have a need of physical healing, and the healing frequencies of reiki get targeted where they’re needed, for example, at the nerves, bones, ligaments or capillaries. Other people, to address anxiety and worry, may need to be brought into the present moment, where there are no anxieties and worries, and so their bodies may tune into Alpha waves. And still others may need to release some issues from the subconscious and past, and may need stimulation with Theta waves.
Reiki uses no oils or external products. It induces a state of relaxation and healing through nurturing touch or no touch if working on a sensitive spot or at site of a wound/operation. Reiki works well alongside traditional medicine/therapy/diets. Reiki is safe for adults, children (including infants and pregnant women), animals, plants and even to balance the energy of spaces we live / work in.

Scientists have discovered that certain energy fields/brain wave frequencies (eg. Alpha & Theta that can be achieved via Reiki)^ that:
- Reduce pain and stimulate the release of endorphins (feel good hormones)
- Relieve stress and promote a lasting and substantial reduction in anxiety
- Facilitate a deep physical relaxation and clarity of thinking
- Increase verbal ability and performance IQ
- Synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain (right & left)
- Assist in memory recall, imagination and creative thinking and more. . .
In clinical settings, nurses and physicians say Reiki treatments make a patient:
- relaxed, calm and cooperative
- relieves acute and chronic pain
- boosts the immune system and therefore speeds up the natural healing process
- reduces stress
- decreases the need for pain medication
- improves sleep and appetite
- has no side effects or contraindications and
- is said to REDUCE many of the unwanted side effects of radiation and chemotherapy; including nausea and fatigue!

Crystals have specific vibrations that can enhance the body's energy; aiding repair. It works just like those crazy energy drinks that boost physical stamina/energy. Crystals though, boosts energy gently & naturally.

A calming and intuitive experience that helped me feel grounded during a particularly rocky time in my life. The evening following my sessions was the first time I'd been able to sleep in weeks. Cheryl is insightful and very knowledgeable about her practice. She allowed me to feel comfortable and at ease. I'll definitely be going back!
