WHAT IS REIKI?

Translated as Universal or Divine Consciousness (Rei) and Vital Life-force Energy (Ki), it is said that the knowledge of Reiki was first received by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan. Usui established his first institute for teaching Reiki in Tokyo in 1922. This tradition was passed through Dr. Usui’s student Dr. Chujuro Hayashi to Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to the west and became the Third Reiki Grand Master.

While I believe that we all work with Energy, consciously or not, I have been introduced to Reiki during a difficult time where I found my selves losing touch with my body and Energy.

After meeting teachers that truly inspired me, I decided to start my learning with a Black and Trans teacher that I hold dear to my heart, SJ Rahatoka. They have been learning and teaching Reiki for a while and draw this knowledge from their ancestral lineage.

MY APPROACH

To me, Reiki is about tapping into the energy of Source, a life-affirming and sustaining energy that flows in and through all living things, opening to the flow of that energy, and allowing it to move through me & my clients to aid and support them but also my selves.

I work with Reiki as a daily practice of intentional alignement with Spirit towards healing. I love working with Reiki for the simple, subtle yet essential humble act of co-presence, witnessing, care, love & solidarity it offers. Reiki does not ask for anything else than being seen, acknowledged and shared. For that reason, Reiki is the foundation of all the work that I do in my practice, as I believe that healing and care are essential for all living beings. When I commit to the flourishing and well-being of another, not only do I allow my selves to receive the same, but a new channel also opens for our energies to align together in an affirmation of self and build a thriving ecosystem of care and compassion.

I primarily work with Reiki-Chakra Work, which means that I focus on the 7 main Chakras of your body, however I am always open to tailor the session to your specific needs. I usually work without touching directly my clients, although I can ask you if touching your shoulders is something you are open to. If this is something that you are not comfortable with, feel free to communicate this to me. I also prefer to have my clients lay down on the Reiki table, but if that does not work you for, for a reason or another, I am happy to tailor my session to your needs.

The session will start with me asking you what brought you here and how I can be of help for you. If you can not/do not want to word your need for the session, this is also completely fine with me. After us introducing to each other and offering you a beverage of your choice (which is usually tea or water), I will ask you to place yourself on the Reiki table (if this was your choice) and get as relaxed as you can. At this moment, you can close your eyes, although a soft gaze is also totally ok. The goal here is that you feel the most comfortable possible so that you can receive the session in the best way possible. You will feel the warmth of my hands placed above your body (5-10 cm above you) and Energy moving through you. I will focus on the 7 chakras of your body, and might spend more time on certain areas where I feel need more care.

Just like all of my offerings, the Reiki sessions that I offer are trauma-informed. Please tell me anything you think is important for me to know before starting the session. The goal here is that we work towards your healing and care. After the session, you will also be invited to share with me anything that you feel comfortable sharing. Because Energy is fluid and does not know about the concept of time, things might shift the next days following our session. Again, you can always contact me afterwards and/or come back. I am happy to create a sustainable relationship with my clients.
