1 / What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "Laying on Hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "Life Force Energy " flows through us and is what causes us to be alive .
Reiki is described as being practiced for over 2500 years and has been commonly used in Eastern healing. In the early 20th century, the practice was rediscovered and standardized by Dr. Mikaeo Usui*. Source: sciencedirect.com

4 / Phone Guiding Light Services - How do they work?
"Rei" means "Universal Energy"
"Ki" means "Life Force Energy"
When a practitioner provides a long distance healing for a client, the Energy of Reiki is then ignited per say, and connect with a client to discuss issues that they may be carrying so that the Reiki may guide the practitioner to where the client may need healing. This energy surrounds us all, I set intentions to go to wherever the client may be in the world and it is then sent to the client.
Open mindfulness is the key for healing. The Reiki is a very Loving Energy that brings comfort, relaxation, and calmness. So that the client may start healing from the inside out. Releasing the negative energy that we carry for our Mind, Body, and Soul.
​
5 / How often should I get treatment?
Usually our clients find balance in coming every 2 weeks at the beginning but we will discuss the right frequency based on your issues/concerns and needs at our first appointment.
6 / What to do after your appointment?
We recommend taking an Epson salt bath to release negative feelings or energy. This will relax and wash away the worries or any resistance. Make sure to hydrate with water after your appointment. You may experience new thoughts or sensations, don't fight those and allow those thoughts to come through. Do not fear any changes or feelings that may come up. You may choose to journal or share with a loved one about these feelings and thoughts that come. Feel free to contact us:

7 / Is Reiki based on a religion?
Reiki is not based on a religion and isn't a religion on its own. It's a spiritual healing technic and a way of self-improvement.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - "Rei" which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power " and "Ki" which is "Life force Energy ". So Reiki is actually "Spiritually guided life force energy".*
