Reiki & Sound Healing

Reiki is a Japanese spiritual healing technique in which practitioners can help your body heal itself through touch. "Rei" translates to "Universe" or "life force", and "Ki" translates to the physical energy of the body (also known as Qi): put together Reiki translates to "Universal life energy force energy". Reiki helps to resolve emotional distress by allowing healing energy to flow freely around the body, which results in relaxation and reduces pain and tension throughout the body. It can also help with emotional imbalances, reducing stress and anxiety, which can decrease pain perception as well.

Reiki practitioners aim to facilitate the flow of this life energy through their hands, using a technique called "laying on hands" or "palm healing." They channel the energy to the recipient by gently placing their hands on or near the person's body. The energy is believed to flow through the practitioner's hands and into the recipient, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.

During a Reiki session, the recipient remains fully clothed and lies down on a treatment table. The practitioner may place their hands on specific areas of the body, such as the head, shoulders, stomach, or feet, or they may work in the recipient's energy field without physical touch. The appointment lasts for about 60-minutes, allowing time for consultation, and many people find it to be a deeply relaxing and calming experience.

The vibration of the bowls on the body combined with the focusing of attention on the tones, allows clients to immerse themselves into a meditative state and deep relaxation. It also stimulates our cells to regenerate and invigorate facilitating a better energy flow throughout the body unblocking stagnant energy.

Sound bath therapy, also known as sound healing or sound meditation, is a holistic wellness practice that uses sound and vibrations to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. It involves immersing oneself in the sounds and vibrations which can be created by various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, and other harmonic tools.

During a sound bath therapy session, participants typically lie down or sit in a comfortable position while the practitioner plays the instruments. The instruments are specifically chosen for their unique frequencies and tones, which are believed to have a beneficial impact on the body, mind, and spirit.

The vibrations and harmonics produced by the instruments help balance the energy centers (chakras) in the body and stimulate the natural healing process. As the sounds wash over and around the participants, they are encouraged to focus on their breath, let go of their thoughts, and enter a deeply relaxed state. The experience is often described as a meditative journey or a "bath" of soothing sounds.

Sound bath therapy has numerous benefits, including stress reduction, relaxation, improved sleep, enhanced creativity, heightened self-awareness, and emotional release. It is also considered a tool for promoting mindfulness, deepening meditation practice, and facilitating personal growth.
