Reiki Energy Healing, San Luis Obispo
Mikao Usui, Reiki Founder
Reiki is a wonderful way to facilitate balance and inner peace. Although it works well as a stand-alone therapy, we have found that it combines beautifully with Massage Therapy. In fact, the results seem to be magnified. This is due to the fact that most people hold a tremendous amount of tension in the physical body. And the fastest way to melt away that physical tension is through the manual manipulation of a massage. Once the physical body is relaxed, then the subtle mental-emotional-spiritual body is ready to receive a much deeper level of pure energy healing. Currently we are offering Reiki sessions only in combination with Massage Therapy. Each session is 90 minutes in length. At least 50% of the time will be devoted to massage, and 50% to Reiki. Alternatively, you can choose to have a 60 minute full body massage paired with 30 minutes of Reiki Therapy. If you are interested in experiencing this with either Angela or Shawna, please book a regular 90 min. massage. Let your therapist know you want Reiki added to your session when you arrive.
What is Reiki and how does it work?
Reiki, (pronounced Rey-Key), is an energy healing technique developed in Japan by Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese word that means: "Spiritual or Sacred Energy." We are alive because life force is flowing through us and around us. Also known as Prana or Qi, Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called Nadis, Meridians and Chakras. This is known as our Subtle Energy Body System and includes 4 layers: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. This life force system nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. Although not recognized in Western Medicine, it s common knowledge in Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, and other Eastern forms of healing. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the concept of Meridian Energy Channels is the fundamental basis for Acupuncture treatments.
This Subtle Energy Body is responsive to thoughts and feelings. When we are under stress, or in crisis, it becomes disrupted by the intense charge of our emotional state. And it is affected by the powerful focus of our mental thoughts. This can happen either consciously or unconsciously. Either way, the thoughts and feelings attach themselves to our energy field, and depending on their nature, they can cause a disruption in the flow of life force. Because the Energy Body is like a template for our physical body, energetic problems can build up over time before manifesting physically. Likewise, old physical problems that won't clear up, may be aggravated by severe blockages energetically. So not only can negative beliefs and programming manifest as problems in the physical body, they also cause a lot of mental and emotional suffering.

Reiki for Balancing EnergyEnergy Healing assists us in changing these thoughts and programming. The programs come from many sources such as our ancestors, our current (or past) lifetime, and from Collective Consciousness. Reiki can help bring us back to wholeness by flowing through the affected areas of the energy field, opening blockages, and charging the entire system with light. This is like cleaning the dirt off a light bulb and increasing the wattage. By introducing a greater intensity of light through Reiki, the vibratory energy field is raised, causing negative energy to break apart and fall away. Reiki can target the subtle energy of the body, purge stagnant Qi out of the Meridian channels, increase vitality and balance the whole system. This type of work clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, allowing the life force to flow in a more free and natural way. It goes beyond treating symptoms; it seeks out the root energetic cause of the disruption and helps us to process and heal on deeper levels than just addressing physical problems at the physical level. By diving into these deeper layers of our internal truth, we can begin to restore balance to Mind-Body-Spirit and bring joy and peace of mind back into our life.
Chakra BalancingChakras (a Sanskrit term & Ayurvedic concept) are the main energy centers in your Subtle Body System. Many people want to know if "Chakra Balanicing" is included in a Reiki session. The answer is YES. The chakras of each person are often a storehouse of deeper information telling a story about where the Qi is blocked, and why. They serve as a direct map pointing at the current state of harmony or dysfunction. And they contain knowledge: An understanding of what the imbalance is about and what the deeper, unfolding spiritual correlation may be. They also contain the keys to transformation, showing where the energy needs to open, renew and re-align itself. Reiki naturally works through Chakra issues.

What is it like to receive an Energy Healing treatment?
We each experience Energy Healing in a very personal way. Many people feel a wonderful sense of peace. Others experience a permanent rising of their consciousness. Every Reiki experience is unique. Karmic deposits can be rooted out, old emotions can be released, and attachments can be cleared. How much this happens depends on the degree to which a person has openness, intention, and a willingness to transform. When we are open, receptive, and willing to self-heal, Reiki can be very powerful. It's an effective way to move through difficulty, access profound realizations and create vibrational change. Using Energy Work along with other forms of healing can help us to maintain excellent health and well-being. Some of the results we've seen include:
