Reiki in San Luis Obispo

Reiki is a healing touch modality that was rediscovered by a Buddhist monk in Japan, named Mikao Usui. This technique utilizes a series of hand placements on the body that cover various acupressure points, energy centers, and meridian channels. Reiki works to calm the nervous system and relax the mind, body, and spirit. Your therapist is both a teacher and practitioner of the method, offering Reiki in San Luis Obispo.

Sometimes, the stress of life can be hard on every level of your being. These are the moments when we need a reset, and a Reiki treatment is an opportunity to come back into balance and return to the light of the core self. It is particularly helpful for decompressing from stress and overwhelm. If we ignore ongoing distress and try to force ourselves to push through, the consequences of this can be a range of problematic, unwanted mental, physical, and emotional symptoms. Your nervous system is not meant to be stuck in chronic activation. Reiki can help to ease you out of activation and back into calm and present aliveness.

What Does Reiki Feel Like?

Reiki typically produces a sense of deep relaxation, energetic nourishment, and renewal. Many people feel calm, grounded, yet energized after a session. During treatment, many different physical sensations may be experienced, along with feelings, memories, images, and passing thoughts. Since the treatment is meant to facilitate healing, some of what arises to be released may feel uncomfortable at times. However, the overarching experience tends to be deeply soothing because reiki helps to induce a meditative state that can feel peaceful and expansive. This is an ideal state of being from which to engage in therapeutic processing of difficult mental and emotional issues. Reiki makes processing and healing easier, quicker, and more efficient.

Reiki Session

Sessions last about 90 minutes. The first part of your session will involve a discussion of the issues and presenting concerns you want to address during treatment, along with your goals. Please allow enough time in your schedule to accommodate the full session.
