About Reiki

Reiki is an ancient form of energy balancing and stress relief retooled for the modern world. It promotes relaxation and deep healing. Reiki is practiced with the client lying fully clothed while the therapist lightly places her hands both on and above the body. A Reiki session helps ease tension and stress and supports the body to facilitate healing on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual

Reiki supports our body when we are going through physical difficulties, helps us release stress and anxiety, and promotes better sleep and relaxation. It helps to alleviate emotional pain and suffering and to integrate our mind, body and spirit.

Reiki is used in hospitals and clinics around the country. The National Institute of Health is sponsoring major studies on the effectiveness of Reiki on conditions such as fibromyalgia, cancer, diabetes and AIDS.
 
Types of Reiki available at Ananda (please note, these energies are usually combined in any single session to give you the effect of all of them working together).
Usui ReikiThis is the original, traditional form of Reiki, created and developed in Japan at the turn of the last century. It is the foundation for every other type of Reiki available today.
Usui Reiki supports physical healing and expands spiritual growth. It is particularly useful for the following conditions:
″ Physical disease such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer support, fibromylagia.
″ Low level illness such as colds, flu, 'the blahs."
″ Preparation and recovery from hospitalizations.
″ Sleep disorders
″ Stress and anxiety
″ Chronic, low-level sadness, relationship blocks
″ Raising self-esteem and valuing of your unique self.
″ Expanded spiritual awareness.

Lightarian Reiki
Lightarian Reiki is the most powerful healing energy available in the Reiki system at this time. Through a Lightarian Session you will be attuned and connected with Ascended Masters, a group of beings who have lived through human lifetimes, achieved enlightenment and now work to help the rest of us on our path.
Lightarian Reiki will accelerate your spiritual growth. The purpose of a Lightarian session is to raise your vibrational level to support as us we transition through these spiritually challenging times.
Simply put, to raise your vibrational level means to increase the amount of Divine Love you are capable of accessing, so lower level feelings have less room to exist. Lightarian Reiki can be very useful for people who have an intellectual understanding of their 'issues,' but still have trouble changing their patterns and ways of thinking. It is also a powerful aid to those actively pursuing their spiritual growth and development.
A session therefore helps with the following:
″ Releasing Fear
″ Releasing Past Trauma
″ Releasing Anxiety and Negativity at all levels.
″ Understanding of deep issues that have kept you emotionally blocked
″ Removals of karmic blocks that have embedded in your etheric body from past lives.

Sekhem-Seichim Reiki (SSR)SSR is an Egyptian based healing system that incorporates the healing energy of three separate energy systems: Sekhem, the Egyptian version of all encompassing life force energy, Seichim, living light energy and an ancient Egyptian system of healing wisdom, and Reiki.
SSR is a healing matrix that is a unique integration of these three related, yet distinct, multidimensional energies. Sekhem, Seichim and Reiki work together as a unified trinity of sacred healing energies to completely balance and harmonize a person's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. This expands the individual's capacity to carry more light and love and anchors and grounds the essential life force within his or her energy system.
Benefits of an SSR Session include:
″ Enhanced stimulation of client's innate healing energies and resources.
″ Dual treatment of both physical symptoms and the emotional/spiritual blocks in the subtle energy system that affect the physical body
″ Supports the healing and relief of acute chronic disease
″ Clearing of energy blocks that contribute to anxiety, stress and depression and addiction
″ Higher levels of creativity, self-expression, energy and vitality.
″ Deep relaxation
″ Enhanced communication with your personal spirit guides
″ A deeper understanding of your life purpose

Each of these Reiki systems helps to promote healing  and work together in each session. Reiki cannot promise a "cure" in the traditional sense, nor should it replace trained medical opinion and services. Reiki is not magic: it is a gift of Divine Energy. As with most holistic forms of healing, it's effect can be powerful or subtle, often depending on how out of balance your system is. More than one treatment, or 'refresher' treatments over time, help to increase the benefits of Reiki.
Learning Reiki
Reiki is easy to learn and use for yourself and your family, to help with stress reduction and general good health. You don't have to want to practice Reiki professionally to benefit from learning Level 1. I give Reiki to my kids almost every night and use it on myself all the time, at times as varied as an aid to meditation to when I'm watching TV. It works so I use it.
