What is reiki?
At Life Flow Energy, Reiki is offered as a gentle, nurturing way to restore balance, release stress, and reconnect with your inner calm. This practice works with your body’s natural life force energy, supporting you on every level — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
​
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a Japanese healing technique that channels universal life force energy through gentle touch. With hands placed lightly on or just above the body, Reiki encourages the energy to flow where it’s needed most. This process helps clear energetic blockages, ease tension, and support your body’s natural ability to heal itself.
What is life
force energy?
Everything in the universe is made of energy—including us. This vital life force moves through the body, influencing health, mood, and overall wellbeing. When the flow of energy is strong and balanced, we feel vibrant, grounded, and at peace. When it becomes blocked or depleted, stress, discomfort, or imbalance can take hold. Reiki helps restore harmony to this energy, bringing a sense of calm and renewal.
How can reiki help you?
Many people turn to Reiki as a gentle complement to their wellness journey. A session may help you:
EXPERIENCE DEEP RELAXATION
AND STRESS RELIEF
During Reiki, the body is invited into a state of deep rest, allowing the nervous system to calm and the mind to soften. Many clients describe a sense of peace that lingers long after the session ends. This relaxation helps release built-up stress and creates more space for clarity, ease, and comfort in everyday life.
SUPPORT THE BODY'S
NATURAL HEALING PROCESS
Reiki does not replace medical care, but it beautifully complements it by creating an optimal environment for the body to do what it naturally knows how to do: heal. By restoring balance to the energy system, Reiki encourages physical renewal, supports recovery, and helps bring the body back into harmony. It gently reminds your system of its innate wisdom and ability to restore itself.
RELEASE TENSION, FATIGUE, AND
EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM
When energy is blocked, we may hold onto heaviness, whether that shows up as tight muscles, emotional stress, or mental exhaustion. Reiki helps to ease these energetic knots, allowing the body to let go of tension and the mind to quiet down. Many people leave their session feeling lighter, more energized, and better able to handle life’s challenges with a sense of calm.
rESTORE BALANCE AND CLARITY
TO YOUR ENERGY AND AURA
Energy can sometimes feel scattered, ungrounded, or “off.” Reiki gently clears and rebalances the flow, helping you feel more centered and aligned within yourself. This clarity can bring a renewed perspective, helping you see situations with greater ease, focus, and understanding. It’s like hitting the reset button for your energy field.
FEEL MORE PEACEFUL, CENTERED,
GROUNDED, AND RENEWED
The gentle, loving nature of Reiki often leaves clients with an overall sense of wholeness. As the energy settles, many describe feeling both grounded and uplifted—like they’ve come back home to themselves. This renewed sense of inner peace allows you to carry that calm into your daily life, making it easier to navigate with grace and presence.
What to expect
in a session
Your Reiki session is a quiet, restful time just for you. You’ll remain fully clothed, lying on a table or seated in a chair, while Reiki is offered through gentle, intentional hand positions on or just above the body.
​
Every experience is unique. Some clients notice warmth, tingling, or gentle waves of calm. Others simply drift into a meditative, peaceful state. Most leave their session feeling lighter, more centered, and deeply relaxed.
FAQs
What should I wear?
Your comfort during a Reiki session is very important. Wear loose, unrestrictive clothing. While I do my best to accommodate your temperature preferences, if you normally get hot, wear light clothing. If you are normally cold, be sure to wear socks and layers. A blanket will be provided for all sessions.
Do I have to believe in reiki for it to help?
No. However, intention is everything in any form of healing. If you believe, you receive. Many clients come to a Reiki session not knowing what to expect or if it works. However, after one session, many clients come back because they were able to sense and feel the subtle energy working through their system either during or after a session.
Is reiki safe alongside medical care?
Reiki is considered safe and effective as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical care with no known contraindications and adverse side effects. In fact, many hospitals use Reiki in their facilities. It does not interfere with medications, medical procedures, or medical devices.
