Chakras are energy points connecting the physical body to the energetic body (aura). Most often Chakras take in life force energy and distribute it to various energetic pathways in the body to help us stay emotionally, physically and mentally balanced. Each of these centres is associated with specific organs, issues, emotions, colours and elements. Balancing these centres can have a physical, emotional and spiritual effect on an individual. It is not only important that each individual chakra is balanced, but that they also are balanced in relation to each other. There are 7 main chakras that run through the spine. The lower 3 chakras are considered masculine in nature and call us to action. They help ground us and are usually concerned with the material world. The higher 3 chakras are feminine in nature and also associated with self reflection and spiritual aspects of life. The heart chakra is balanced in masculine and feminine energy, and can help balance other chakras.

Every person who experiences Reiki and Breathwork has a different experience. Your experience from session to session can also vary. Many people report feeling a sense of calm in their bodies. Others report reduced pain or a clearer mind. Some people say they notice old symptoms resurfacing in a sort of “healing reaction,” but those symptoms pass quickly. Trust that they are being brought to the surface to be felt, acknowledging and let go. Many say they begin to notice lots of new and exciting opportunities opening up to them.

Sometimes the experience of a Reiki/breathwork session is dramatic, while for other people, the first session may be uneventful, although they feel somehow better afterwards. The most common experience is an almost immediate release of stress and a feeling of deep relaxation. During the session, you might notice a warming sensation in certain areas. You may feel lots of tingling, like you're floating or flying. In some cases, you might not notice anything at all. Even if you come in with a particular problem area, you may experience a sense of relaxation that affects your whole body, and there is a possibility you could even fall asleep. And if you do, it’s okay. Just trust that the energy is going exactly where it is needed and for your highest good.

Before your first Reiki session, you'll want to be sure you’ve eaten and hydrated a few hours before the session —mostly for you to be comfortable and not distracted by hunger or thirst. And avoid eating too heavy beforehand, as you don't want all your body's energy to be directed toward digesting while receiving your treatment. Most importantly, please arrive with an open mind and an open heart, with a clear intention in what you want to gain from the session (what you’d like to release from your life and what you’d like to call in to your life).

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that uses the life force energy or chi to help promote relaxation. The word 'Rei' translates as 'Universal' and the word 'ki' translates as 'life force energy'. The practitioner channels this energy through specific hand placements above the body. The client remains fully clothed throughout the session.
