What is Reiki?

Reiki (Ray - key) is a natural hands-on healing practice, originated in Japan that promotes balance on every level - body, mind and spirit.

Reiki means: Spiritually Guided (Rei) Life Force Energy (Ki). 

What is the origin of Reiki?

Reiki was born out of the experience and dedication of Dr. Mikau Usui, a Japanese educator, who received the complete system of Reiki during a mystical experience on the Holy Mountain Kurama, in 1914. Reiki was introduced to the West by Mrs. Hawayo Takata, a Japanese woman who lived in Hawaii. She recovered completely from a severe illness by series of Reiki treatments from  Dr. Chujiro Hayashi who followed Usui's ways. In 1938 she became the first Reiki Master in the Western world. Between 1970 to 1980, Mrs. Takata has trained twenty-two Reiki Masters, who spread the Reiki worldwide.

How is a Reiki treatment being performed?

The recipient is lying on a massage table fully clothed. The Reiki practitioner is placing his hands in a series of very light touches at various positions on the recipient's body.

Reiki is not a massage, although the relaxing experience could be the same or even deeper. During a Reiki session the practitioner channels universal life force energy to the recipient's body.

How does a Reiki treatment feel like?

The sensation felt by the recipient during a Reiki treatment is usually a deep feeling of warmth, comfort and relaxation.  Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings, so a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Reiki puts the body into a meditative state that promotes relaxation and a sensation of well-being. Once the session is over, people usually feel more energized as if they had a deep sleep.

Research studies validate the effectiveness of Reiki. Commonly reported benefits are improvements in stress-reduction, sleep, digestion, emotional state, and overall well-being.

Reiki has a long-lasting effect after the treatment is over so people can feel energized even few hours later, or improve their night sleep quality.

Who is a candidate for Reiki treatment?

Anyone at all ages. Reiki could be used as a pure relaxation treatment, for stress-reduction, pain relief, or as a way to improve the emotional state of mind when someone feels sad, depressed, worried or troubled-minded. Pregnant women in their first trimester of pregnancy should consult Tamar before getting a Reiki treatment.

How "Ki" (Energy) is connected with our well being?

We are alive because life force energy is flowing through us. Energy flows within the physical body through seven main energy centers called chakras and 12 energy pathways called meridians. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow is disrupted for various reasons, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs of the physical body and pain  or diseases may occur.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki works on both outside (aura) and inside (chakras, meridians) energy fields of the body. It heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It breaks apart the energy blocks and clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. Reiki is balancing the energy system, according to the individual needs of every recipient.

Reiki helps the body to get into a relaxation mode. When the body is relaxed (as during a night sleep) healing can occur easily. Reiki supports the body's natural ability to heal itself and accelerates the process.

The Uniqueness of Reiki

Reiki is unique since it is working in a special intelligent way. It always recognizes what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for the body and soul. It can work directly in the unconscious parts of the mind/body which contain negative Energy, inhibiting thoughts and feelings and eliminate them and allowing a normal healthy flow of "Ki" to resume.

Since the Reiki comes from a higher source of knowledge, it is always positive and works in a miraculous way. It guides the practitioner subconsciously to get the optimal results and not influenced by manipulation.

Reiki is always helpful; it can not cause any harm. When giving Reiki, illnesses can never pass from the practitioner to the patient or vice-versa.

A Reiki treatment lasts between 30-60 minutes (A full treatment is recommended for optimal results, but a short treatment is also useful to treat a specific area of the body).

Prices:  30 minutes - $40    60 minutes - $70
