Qu'est ce que le REIKI ?
What happens during a Reiki session?
A Reiki session lasts an hour and takes place in three stages, including two main ones:
- The first is what might be called the listening service and exchange. The client discusses their reason for seeking Reiki and explains what he would like to work on.
This part takes about 15-20 minutes.
- In the second part, the client lies down completely clothed on a comfortable table, and has nothing to do except indulge in this moment of relaxation. The practitioner enters into meditation while touching very lightly and looking at different points on the body (head, shoulders, torso, legs and feet). Special hand placement and meditation allows the mind and body of the client to unite by the resonating effect with the practitioner.
This part takes about 30-35 minutes.
-The last part depends on the desire of the practitioner, who may share (or not) their feelings and observations during the session.
The work is done gently, and the benefits of Reiki appear gradually. The person perceives changes, she feels more focused, more free from tensions, both physical and psychological. The outside world does not change, but the perception of the client has becomes different.
Reiki is not magic, but it is a way to effectively unify the body and mind. At times, the client may even have an impression of stagnation or that nothing is changing. These moments are normal and to be expected because it is the ego, the “self-saboteur" who through fear, doubt and self destruction refuses to leave and will fight. However, these periods are transient if the client does not give up and continues to work on themselves.
Combined with Life Coaching, Reiki is a very effective technique. A kind of “shortcut” on the path to finding yourself.
Many people have heard of Reiki, but few know what it is. It must be said that there are many explanations and some are more obscure than others.
Reiki is a Japanese method which dates from the early twentieth century. Its founder, Mikao Usui, (1865 - 1926) discovered it during a “Satori,” a spiritual awakening experience of Zen Buddhism.
According to the official definition of the French Federation of Reiki, the Japanese words "Rei" means “mind” and "Ki" refers to the vital energy that is within us. We could therefore translate REIKI as the energy of the mind or the mind power.
Reiki is not related to any religion. It is secular and belongs to the energy therapies. It helps restore the flow of energy in the body, in order to restore balance and to energize. The body and mind work much better when the energy circulates smoothly. Our fears, our anxieties, our stress, are like ''plugs'' that prevent this energy from flowing freely. Reiki gradually reduces these energy blocks in order to achieve better “circulation.”
