Montreal Reiki And Wellness

1. Reiki works on all levels: physical, psychic, emotional and spiritual.

Reiki is a powerful tool which works on all levels, whether we are aware of it or not. It is not necessary to know what you want to accomplish during a reiki treatment; the energy will go where it needs to go to heal and increase your well-being on all levels.

2. Reiki is a holistic healing method that is extremely simple and pleasant.

One of the greatest things about reiki is its simplicity. All the recipient has to do is be open to receiving the energy, which cannot act in a negative way. Many people arrive to their first reiki session skeptical about whether or not the treatment will work. It is not necessary to have any particular belief system in order for reiki to work. Reiki is not about religion or spiritual beliefs. It is a relaxing and non-invasive healing technique that is open to everyone.

3. Reiki adapts itself to the needs of the receiver.

We all experience reiki treatments differently, as we all have our own specific needs. A person with insomnia might receive calm, quiet and peaceful energy, allowing her to fall asleep more easily at night. On the other hand, a lethargic person might become energetic after a session, which increases his motivation to get things done. The way we experience reiki treatments changes as do our needs and desires.

4. Reiki also works on animals, plants and situations.

Animals are very sensitive to reiki energy. Reiki can help them overcome behavioral problems, anxiety and pain. Some animals love reiki so much that they become loose, limp and relaxed as soon as the treatment begins. Plants are also very open to receiving reiki energy. Try chanting the mantra “Om” with your hands above a plant, plams down. Do this twice a day for a few days and notice what happens.

5. Reiki can reinforce and accelerate the natural process of healing.

Humans have incredible innate abilities to heal themselves. When the body’s energy is aligned and balanced, these abilities are able to function effectively. The more we practice energy hygiene, the more we become attentive to our bodies’ physical and emotional needs. We become better able to direct our bodies back to health after being out of balance.

6. Reiki can energize body and soul.

Sometimes all it takes is a quick self-reiki treatment to revitalize our energy. Even if we haven’t received reiki attunements, we can use the innate power we all have in our hands by simply placing them on the parts of our bodies that feel stress or pain.

7. Reiki can re-establish physical wholeness and spiritual health.

When our bodies’ energies are unbalanced, everything in life can seem “off”. We might feel less confident, exhausted, or even overexcited and agitated. It might seem difficult to perform simple day-to-day tasks. Our interactions and relationships with others may also suffer. Reiki can help bring us back into a place of balance, where we are at peace with ourselves and the world around us.

8. Reiki can regulate the energy system.

The more we practice balancing and cleansing our energy, the more this state of balance becomes our natural state. We can easily detect when we are out of balance, and direct our energies back into alignment more quickly than before. When we get used to a higher vibrational frequency, we attract people, relationships and situations with similar higher vibrations, as energy attracts its own level.

9. Reiki can dissolve blockages and enhance total relaxation.

Many people become so relaxed and calm during reiki treatments that they go into sleep-like states. This enhanced state of relaxation helps the body align its energies and dissolve energetic blockages more efficiently. Free of energetic blockages, the quality of sleep increases as does our ability to relax on a day to day basis.

10. Reiki encourages the elimination of toxins.

As reiki accelerates healing, toxins are often eliminated and released after treatments. Drinking plenty of water is encouraged, as is getting sufficient rest. It is normal to experience various physical or emotional symptoms as the body adjusts itself to reiki energy. Follow your intuition after a treatment and do not hesitate to ask your practitioner questions if you have them.

We are living in a very exciting time for reiki. Not only are individuals opening their minds to it like never before, hospitals and other institutions are beginning to use it as a complementary healing technique more and more frequently.  Reiki treatments are now being offered in several hospitals across North America and Europe for patients with cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. In fact, St. Charles hospital in Oregon is so pleased with its newly implemented reiki program, it invested in a billboard to advertise the service! As far as we know, this kind of publicity is a first for reiki. Let’s keep spreading the positive vibrations!

For those of you in the Montreal area, I’d like to inform you that I now offer insurance receipts for reiki and hypnotherapy sessions. I am registered under the Canadian Order of Practitioners in Naturopathy and Naturotherapy. If your insurance plan covers naturopathy, you may be partially or completely reimbursed for a reiki session! À bientôt!

Here are some beautiful words of wisdom for those of you who may be feeling out of balance or restless today.

“No matter whom you are interacting with, we would like you to find some way of conveying to them your appreciation of who they are and where they are right now.  We would like you to be able to express to them, whether you use words or just a glance of an eye, I love you where you are right now and you will always find your path and it will be different from almost anybody you know. I know that you have guidance within you that will always keep you going to that which life is revealing to you. There is no one on the planet that you could adequately or accurately follow because you are carving out your own magnificent and unique life.  You have guidance within you that lets you know in every moment your relationship with your life as it is unfolding.  You are source energy in a physical body who has come to let the contrast inspire you to becoming more, and that a large part of you instantaneously became that more and that part of you is now calling you forward. You can use whatever method you want, call it gut instinct, emotional guidance, kinesiology, it doesn’t matter what you call it. You are being beckoned by that larger part of you toward that which you have become and if you can get that across to yourself or to anyone, than you or the one that you got it across to is destined to live happily ever after. To live the fulfillment of what you have come forth to live. And anything else anything other than that, anything that says there are rules you should follow and when you follow them you’ll feel better, or you are supposed to be something that you are not, or you are disappointing someone somewhere, or you’re not fulfilling your reason for being here.  Anything of that nature just separates you from the truth of who you are.” Abraham-Hicks.
