What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
​
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
​
What does a Reiki session feel like?
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.
​
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
How does Reiki work?
Each day, our body is working to maintain balance. Our body has a natural electromagnetic frequency that it prefers to resonate with. When all levels of the body are in harmony with that frequency, communication is strong. The body loses its effectiveness to heal and maintain homeostasis when the lines of communication within the body are disrupted. These disruptions occur when we store energy that is dissonant with our natural resonance.
​
We tend to store energy in the form of memories and beliefs and as they accumulate around the same theme, the strong dissonance begins. Where our body once operated as a perfectly timed symphony, with conflicting energy stored, we have many instruments out of tune and sync. In a Reiki session, the energy drawn in by the recipient is done so through the practitioner’s hands. The energy will go where it is needed, and in the order that the recipient’s bodymind determines. When a body receives Reiki energy, it is like having a light to make the body aware of the energy that is not serving it. The practitioner does not decide what needs to be released or when, the wisdom of the body does. The practitioner holds the space for the bodymind to see the possibilities it can choose from with regard to healing so the body is no longer tied to a dysfunctional way of being. Once the body has chosen what it is ready to address, it can systematically release the stored energy at a cellular level connected with the imbalance. The cells then begin functioning as intended and the healing occurs on a physical as well as emotional, mental and physical level. The body does not need to be consciously aware of what beliefs and memories it is working with which is one reason why Reiki can be so effective. With the body vibrating at a more natural state, harmony and peace on all levels can be restored.
​
If you have never had the benefit of receiving a Reiki session, I highly recommend that you schedule a session with a practitioner you feel called to work with. You must experience a session in order to fully understand it.

Testimonials
“I highly recommend a wholistic body session with Diane at her Body Innovation Lab. She expertly tailors a wide array of modalities in her sessions based on your needs. I am in a high-stress job that leaves me sitting at a desk most of the day. I am plagued by insomnia from the stress of the week as well as muscle tightness. However, after a session with Diane where she combines bodywork, stretching, and Reiki healing, I emerge completely relaxed, pain-free and I am able to return to a good night's sleep!
If you have never had Reiki, give it a try. I am also prone to migraines which start with a tightness in my head. Diane's Reiki hands are able to quickly move the tightness or stuck energy from my head, warding off a migraine. She is a lifesaver!”
