HairTree Therapy  & Earth Essence By: Erin Erickson

Reiki is the channeling of universal life force energy through the hands. Reiki healing may be done with or without physical touch, or remotely (distance healing). Channeled Reiki energy helps to remove energy blockages and deeply relax body, mind and spirit. Physical and emotional pain may be cleared through the use of Reiki energy.

What does reiki do for you?

Reiki helps to promote harmony and balance. It is an effective, non invasive energy healing modality that enhances the body’s natural healing ability whilst energising and promoting overall wellness. Reiki works directly on restoring balance on all levels and works directly on the problem and condition instead of just masking or relieving symptoms.

It creates deep relaxation and helps the body release stress and tension. Reiki provides a space where you can be more present of what is going on inside your body and mind. Being more "present" helps you to access even more that inner knowing and wisdom that we all have!

Reiki dissolves energy blocks and promotes natural balance between mind, body and spirit. Reiki treatments can bring about a calmer and more peaceful state of being, in which a person is better able to cope with everyday stress. This mental balance also enhances learning, memory and mental clarity. Reiki can heal mental/emotional wounds and can help alleviate mood swings, fear, frustration and even anger.

It assists the body in cleansing itself from toxins and supports the immune system. We spend so much time in stress-reactive fight/flight phase that it becomes our ‘norm’ and our bodies literally forget how to return to balance. Reiki reminds our bodies how to shift into parasympathetic nervous system (rest / digest) self-healing mode. It allows you to sleep better and digest better which is important to maintaining health and vitality.

Reiki clears the mind and improves focus as you feel grounded & centred. Reiki can support you in staying centered in the present moment rather than getting caught up in regrets about the past or anxieties about the future. It can strengthen your ability to accept and work with the way events are unfolding even when they don’t follow your desires or timetable.

Treatments aid in better sleep. The number one outcome of receiving a Reiki session is relaxation. When we’re relaxed, we sleep better, our bodies heal faster, we think more clearly, and we relate to each other more genuinely.

Reiki ccelerates the body’s self-healing ability as you start to return to your natural state. Reiki healing quickly returns you to your natural state, or at least gets your body moving in the right direction. That means your breathing, heart rate and blood pressure improve. Breathing deeper and easier is one of the first things to happen during a treatment. When we breath better, our minds naturally settle. Science supports that.

It helps relieve pain and supports the physical body healing. On the outside looking in, a Reiki treatment might appear to be merely a sequence of hand placements, it works to restore balance on the deepest possible level. It encourages your system to improve your body’s vital functions (breathing, digesting and sleeping) so your physical systems function optimally.

On the physical level, Reiki helps to relieve pain from migraine, arthritis, sciatica ~ just to name a few. It also helps with symptoms of asthma, chronic fatigue, menopausal symptoms, and insomnia.

Reiki helps with spiritual growth and emotional cleansing. Yet you do not need to be into spirituality to enjoy the benefits of reiki. Reiki addresses the whole person, rather than targeting individual symptoms. It can create profound, often subtle shifts from deep within your own being.

Furthermore, it compliments medical treatment & other conventional therapies and medicine. Helping to relax patients on the levels of the mind and physical body. When a patient is relaxed the healing process is accelerated. People sleep much better and are calmer following Reiki treatments. The beauty of Reiki is that it is non invasive and is administered in a very gentle manner. Reiki is safe to use if you have medical conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes or heart conditions. You may receive Reiki treatments if you are undergoing chemotherapy. Pregnant woman can have Reiki treatments to support them through all stages of the pregnancy. Reiki is for everyone!
