Details About Reiki Sessions at the Center for Grief and Trauma Therapy

What is “Reiki?”

Although Reiki became popularized in mainstream Western cultures in the early 1900s, energy healing has been used for about 2,500 years in various forms. It promotes relaxation, physical and emotional healing, reduces stress, and lessens intense, difficult emotions through gentle touch or hovering of hands over specific locations of the body. Reiki can improve the flow and balance of your energy to support physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. Our practitioner acts as a conduit between you and universal energy.  She does not determine the “amount” of energy given. Rather this is determined by your body’s energetic reaction to the treatment throughout the session. You always have complete control over the process.

Reiki is not for any specific type of condition, but may help people with:

 Trauma
 Grief
 Depression
 Anxiety
 Cancer
 Chronic pain
 Digestive problems
 Fatigue
 Prepare a person for surgery
 Healing from surgery
 Improving the immune system and other stress-related illnesses


How Iong are the sessions?

Individual sessions run 30 or 60 minutes

What can I expect during a Reiki session?

Individual treatments are customized to each participant. You will lie on a massage table fully clothed in a peaceful, private setting with eyes open or closed (participant’s choice). Our practitioner will use a series of different hand positions and will gently place her hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. There is no pressure, massage, or physical manipulation involved. Her hands will remain in place until she feels the energy in that area is balanced. There is optional somatic based verbal discussion and you are in complete control over your experience.

You may experience gentle, non-painful warmth, tingling, or pulsing throughout the body, but some do not have sensations at all. The number of sessions will vary depending on your goals. Some participants will request one session while others may request a series.uced rate of $70/hour session ($280 total) or $37.50/30 min ($150 total). You may also purchase a package of 4 individual sessions at the reduced rate of $70/session ($280.00). Please note, if you do not show for your session or class without a 24-hour notice, your payment will be forfeited (except in the case of emergencies or sessions canceled by the instructor).  Session packages expire after three months

How do I sign up?

Please reach out to your clinician or our office assistant to sign up for the Reiki sessions. They will offer you the available appointment for that week. 

What are the risks?

Any activity that explores painful or difficult thoughts and feelings may increase painful emotions that are challenging to process. In order to ensure these feelings are managed in an open and safe way, our instructor pays close attention to the readiness of our participants to attend Reiki sessions, as well as monitoring reactions to ensure your experience remains within your ability to explore without becoming overwhelmed. Furthermore, your clinician is prepared to help process your experience and the outcomes of your sessions.

How old do the participants need to be?

At this time, sessions are limited to those 1 8 years of age or older.

What does the research say about reiki?

Anecdotal research shows reiki can create feelings of peace, relaxation, security, and wellness.

Participants often describe a relief of stress, ability to cope with difficulties, and induces deep relaxation.

What are the goals for Reiki sessions?

Our reiki sessions invite you to develop physical, emotional, and spiritual integration to help transform emotional and physical pain. The goals are to:

  • Increase the awareness of the mind and body connection in a calm, gentle, and safe way
  • Bring on a meditative and mindfulness state of active awareness
  • Provide overall calmness and relaxation for the nervous system
  • Decrease tension and stress
  • Increase the body’s ability to heal from physical injury and stimulate the immune system
  • Help manage painful emotions and experiences, which in turn improves the ability to move forward in life in a way that honors the individual needs of each participant
