What is Reiki ?
Reiki is a healing energy that promotes relaxation, helps strengthen the immune system, facilitates healing and helps restore balance to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. A Reiki treatment is a therapeutic technique that can relieve pain, removes negative stagnant energy, clears the aura, aids in healing and may enhance recovery from illness, surgery or other medical procedures. The Reiki Practitioner uses a sequence of various hand positions on different parts of the body to release tension, pain, anger and fear. Some people have reported feeling warmth, tingling, pulsations or calmness during a session. Some people become relaxed and fall asleep while others feel energized. Outcomes are different for everyone according to their individual healing needs. After a session many report feeling refreshed, diminished pain or as though a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Reiki compliments regular medical treatment but is not a substitute. Reiki works in harmony with all types of professional and alternative health related practices and does not conflict with any religious or spiritual beliefs.
The healing energy of Shamballa is incorporated into each session.
What is Shamballa?
Shamballa builds on the original Reiki system by adding to it.
Like Reiki, it is the energy of love. The major purpose of attunement is to allow the student to bring in higher energies which will help enhance spiritual evolution. In other words, by bringing Shamballa into your life you allow more healing love energy to come into the world. You become part of the solution to world peace and prosperity. It is vital that as many people as possible, as quickly as possible bring in this love energy. The goal is to bring in the light, which this love energy provides, as easily and quickly as possible to a critical mass of people, thus bringing the entire world to a new level in its evolution.

Reiki And Pregnancy
Reiki may be extremely beneficial to expecting mothers. It can help to alleviate back pain, morning sickness, stress, anxiety and may minimize pain during labor. Also, there is some evidence that healing practices benefit both mother and child during the pregnancy.
What To Expect During A Reiki Session
The initial reiki session begins with the practitioner asking a series of questions relating to your physical, emotional & mental overall health. This helps to determine which areas will need the most attention. Next, the client is asked to remove shoes and lay on a comfortable massage table while remaining fully dressed. With permission from the client, the practitioner then uses a sequence of various hand positions on or slightly above the body. Acting as a facilitator, the practitioner works closely with the client to achieve the most favorable result.The energy is channeled through the practitioners crown (top of head) and out through the palms. Sessions generally last for approximately 45 minutes.
Reiki is not a one time fix it all. In order to experience noticeable change and improvement, it is important to have consistent sessions over a period of time. The frequency of treatments varies widely which is based on individual needs.
