WELLNESS

RusticGlo now offers Reiki therapy. Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. “Rei” which means universal, and “ki,” translates to a lifeforce of energy.

1.WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is an energy healing practice that fosters relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900s, originating the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is known to be used all over the world to complement other forms of health treatments. Reiki aids in healing by helping people become energetically balanced — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

2.WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF REIKI?
Some potential benefits of Reiki include, but not limited to:

  • Promotes natural self-healing
  • Promotes a state of relaxation, joy and happiness
  • Brings you to a meditative state
  • Re-establish spiritual equilibrium and mental well-being
  • Balances the energies in the body to promote inner peace and harmony
  • Release energetic blocks and suppressed emotions
  • Awaken and sharpen your intuitive abilities
  • Support conventional medical practices
  • Helps in spiritual growth and emotional clearing
  • Vitalize the mind, body and spirit

3.CAN REIKI REPLACE MEDICAL TREATMENTS?
No. Reiki does not treat or cure any health conditions. Reiki services are not a substitute for medical treatments or medication. It is recommended that you consult with your physician regarding medical inquiries. Reiki involves a holistic non-invasive hands-on/off method of energy balancing for the purpose of stress reduction and relaxation.

4.WHAT HAPPENS DURING A REIKI SESSION?
Reiki treatments can be anywhere from 30-60 minutes, per session. During a session, you’ll lie on a facial/massage bed fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on, or just above your body in specific energy locations. They use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions. The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each position is determined by the flow of energy through their hands at each location. Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved. You may feel heat, cold sensations or tingling.  

​5.WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER REIKI?
You might feel more relaxed or less stressed out. You may feel fatigued, headache, stomach-ache. This is natural as your energy resumes regular flow throughout your body. You may experience flu-like symptoms, disturbed sleep or vivid dreams. Please do not worry as this is temporary. If you’re getting Reiki for a health condition, you’ll still need to follow your treatment and see your doctor like you usually do. Reiki doesn’t replace your regular medical care.

​6.ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF REIKI?
In general, Reiki seems to be safe, but if you’re feeling unwell beyond 48 hours after your Reiki session, it is advised that you seek medical attention.
