Understanding Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that focuses on channeling energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "Rei," meaning universal, and "Ki," meaning life force energy. This practice involves the transfer of energy through the practitioner's hands to the recipient, aiming to balance the body's energy and facilitate healing.
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki offers numerous benefits, including:
Stress Reduction: Reiki promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress and anxiety.
Pain Relief: It can alleviate pain and discomfort from various conditions.
Emotional Healing: Reiki supports emotional healing by releasing negative emotions and promoting a sense of peace.
Enhanced Well-Being: Regular Reiki practice can improve overall well-being and boost energy levels.

What to Expect During a Reiki Session at Meraki Muse
At Meraki Muse, I integrate Reiki with other holistic practices to provide a comprehensive healing experience. Here’s what you can expect during a session:
Initial Consultation: We begin with a brief consultation to discuss your needs and intentions for the session. This helps tailor the experience to your specific goals, whether it's stress relief, pain management, or emotional healing.
Smudging: Before the Reiki session begins, I perform a smudging ritual using:
♡Palo Santo: Known for its sweet, woody scent, Palo Santo is used to clear negative energy and invite positive vibes.
â—‡Sage: A powerful cleansing herb, sage is used to purify the environment and promote healing.
☆Dragon's Blood: This white sage and resin is used for protection, healing, and enhancing the potency of other herbs.
3. Reiki Healing: During the session, you will lie down fully clothed on a comfortable massage table. I will gently place my hands on or just above specific areas of your body, channeling healing energy. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a sense of deep relaxation as the energy flows.
4. Crystal Healing: To enhance the Reiki energy, I may place crystals on or around your body. Each crystal has unique properties that can aid in healing:
Amethyst: Known for its calming and protective properties.
Rose ♡ Quartz: Promotes love, compassion, and emotional healing.
Clear Quartz: Amplifies energy and intention, making it a versatile healing stone.
5. Closing and Feedback: After the session, we will take a few moments to discuss your experience and any sensations you felt. This is also a time to ask questions and receive guidance on how to maintain the benefits of the session.
How to Prepare for Your First Reiki Session
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before your session to keep your energy flowing smoothly.
Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to relax fully.
Avoid Heavy Meals: Try to avoid consuming heavy meals, processed foods, or alcohol before your session to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Set Intentions: Think about what you hope to achieve from your session. Whether it's stress relief, emotional healing, or physical well-being, having clear intentions can enhance your experience. Share these intentions with your practitioner during the initial consultation.
Open Mind and Heart: Approach your session with an open mind and heart, ready to receive the healing energy. Trust the process and be open to whatever sensations or emotions may arise.
