What is Reiki?
What is Reiki?

     Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing. The word Reiki means spiritually guided(Rei) life force energy(Ki). Although Reiki has roots in Japan, the practice of Reiki transcends all cultures and religions; Reiki works on all people, energetic beings, and situations.
 
     Life force energy is the energetic force that makes us alive. This energy is constantly flowing in and around our bodies. Our thoughts, emotions, and life experiences impact the way our life force energy flows. When we are happy and healthy, our energy flows freely and smoothly. When we are stressed, worried, or recovering from Trauma, the smooth, healthy flow of our life energy can be disrupted, leading to blockages in our chakras, broken energetic pathways, and chaos in our lives.
​
     Reiki is the practice of directing spiritually guided life force energy from a Higher Power to the recipient's energy field, in order to guide the flow of their personal energy for their highest good. Reiki can only be channeled by a practitioner who has been specially attuned to have a direct connection with divine energy. The Reiki energy knows exactly where to go as it's needed most, while it dissolves energetic blockages and repairs energetic pathways. The Reiki Master's personal energy is never used at all during Reiki, rather the Reiki Master is acting as a channel to deliver divine energy to the recipient. 
​
     Once the energetic body, including the chakras and energetic pathways, has received Reiki, the recipient's life force energy is able to flow more smoothly. The shift to a smoother energy flow results in a shift in physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing for the recipient's highest good.
 
     Reiki Energy itself can never do any harm. This does not mean that harm can never happen in a Reiki session; accidental harm can still be caused by the words, actions, and lack of training of the practitioner, session environment, or other uncontrolled variables. It is important to choose a practitioner that has been properly trained; always inquire about a practitioner's background and the extent of their training before working with them. Reiki does not interfere with any medical treatment, prescribed therapies, or psychological treatment. Since Reiki is spiritually guided (by The Universe, Higher Power, Source, Spirit Guides, etc...), the energetic shifts that occur happen exactly in the way that the specific recipient needs in that moment, to shift towards alignment for their highest good. After a Reiki session, most people report feeling very relaxed, empowered, uplifted, and inspired.

How Virtual Reiki Works
How Virtual Reiki Works

The only difference between an in-person Reiki session and a virtual Reiki session is the possibility of physical touch. Reiki practitioners have been sending Reiki energy to others all across the world since Reiki was discovered in the early 1920's. Physical touch is not required for Reiki to work, even in in-person sessions. Since Reiki is spiritually guided for our highest good, we can trust that a Higher Power guiding us will deliver the Reiki energy exactly where it is needed. 

Virtual Reiki sessions can feel more powerful than in-person sessions. The Reiki practitioner does not use their own energy, but channels the Reiki energy through themselves. In an in-person session, the Reiki energy travels through the practitioner's hands and into the recipient's energy field. In a virtual session, the Reiki energy goes straight to the recipient's energy field  without passing through the physical barriers of our bodies. This can lead to very powerful experiences; many of Annelise's clients report experiencing physical sensations and seeing many lights, colors, and imagery during their virtual sessions.
