What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy.  It is an ancient, natural energy healing art that balances energy in the body and promotes health on all levels:  physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  It's a non-invasive, gentle, yet powerful method of healing.  Reiki enhances the body's natural healing ability and promotes well being.

Want to learn how to do Reiki?
Reiki trainings are not just for those who are or wish to become bodyworkers. Many people come to learn Reiki simply to learn how to work with energy and to do healing on themselves, friends and family. You can even use Reiki on animals, plants, homes and much more!

The Reiki practitioner is a channel for the pure light Reiki energy to flow through.  The healing comes from the Universe, not from the practitioner.  One of the magical things about Reiki is that the practitioner actually receives a healing at the same time as facilitating the healing energy for someone else.  Each person draws in just the correct amount of healing energy that is needed for him or her at that time.  Reiki gives the client and the practitioner everything they need, without asking anything in return. 

With each level of Reiki, your power increases.

How Reiki Works

We all have life force energy with in us.  In fact, so do all living things.  Without this life force energy, life does not exist.  As we continue to grow and age, we are constantly faced with situations that drain our reserves of life force energy or Ki.  When an individual’s Ki is high, they feel strong and confident.  When it is low, they are more likely to get sick and they feel weak.  

When stress occurs, energy is depleted at a higher rate than it can be restored.  A number of things can cause excess depletion of our life force--general stress, physical or emotional trauma, lack of sleep, physical injury and poor nutrition, to name a few.  In the world we live in today, many of us face stressful situations every single day.  If the life force that is depleted is not restored, a number of problems can arise on the physical and emotional levels.  

Stress is also caused by conflicting thoughts or emotions.  Ki responds to ones thoughts and feelings; therefore, thoughts and feelings can deplete or replenish your Ki flow.  Negative thoughts are very detrimental to our health and cause blocks in the energy body.  Luckily, Reiki knows where they are hiding and can release the blockages.  When Reiki finds them and flows through them, it gets the Ki to return to a healthy flow.  

Because Reiki helps reduce stress and promotes relaxation, it can act as a preventative measure to avoid the possibility of disease or suffering.  In addition, Reiki can effect change in the chemical structure of the body by helping to regenerate organs and rebuild tissue and bone.  It also helps the client get in touch with his or her own inner guidance and wisdom in order to promote self-healing

Here's what
people are saying...

"Stacey was a great teacher. Her openness keeps the doors of trust in intuition and attention focused. She uses simple exercises to teach intuitive skills necessary for energy work...Great experience! I learned a lot!"
  • Monica
"I received Reiki I training from Stacey, and she is a wonderful teacher that I would recommend to any student. She is joyful in her teaching, laughing and joking often. You can feel her gratitude for Reiki in her class, which was inspiring for me. She is also very experienced, and weaves her own reiki stories and experiences into her class passing along tips - large and small. She was in tune with us and open in her approach. She encouraged us to follow our intuition and take from her class what felt right for us. In addition to sharing info and attuning etc, she exemplified Reiki in the way that she taught."
  • Erin M.
“Stacey’s class is well organized and includes a practical mix of lecture and hands on exercises. All the class materials, including the confirmation and directions are detailed and concise.  Stacey keeps the class flowing at a comfortable pace and encourages student’s questions.  When you add in Stacey’s wonderful sense of humor and the beautiful location, it’s hard to imagine a more special place to learn Reiki.”

Reiki Study Labs & Shares

Picture
Reiki shares are a wonderful way to build community, practice Reiki and hold space for each other's healing.  Practicing Reiki in a group setting is extremely powerful. Deep healing can take place in these evenings. Even if you are not attuned to Reiki, there will be other Reiki practitioners there, so you will be surrounded by the Reiki energy. In the Reiki Study Labs, we gather as Reiki practitioners to ask questions and learn from each other, also making time for practice.

All are welcome to Reiki share nights, whether you are attuned to Reiki or not. For those who have completed any level of Reiki training, this is a great opportunity to practice. For those who have never experienced Reiki, this is a great opportunity to do so. And for all, this is a wonderful way to build community in a healing way. Reiki Study Labs are open to those who have completed at least Reiki Level 1.

"I was so happy to be a part of such an extremely well thought-through seminar. Highly professional standards. Our work book is also very well done--helpful, clear, easy to use, nice to have in hands. And your attitude towards everyone in the groups--very careful, very welcoming. The attunement ceremony was a very emotional and lightful moment. The experience of sharing reiki with other students after the attunement was a very touching and healing moment for me. Despite how I felt unsure if Reiki could be explained and taken seriously from the scientific point of view, after sharing this experience of Reiki, I can't deny the healing, calming, relaxing and releasing effect of Reiki."
  • Marina, Certified Business Trainer
"Stacey's natural ability to teach and heal blend well when teaching the healing modality of Reiki. I attended Stacey's Reiki Level 1 class in the redwoods. I learned the history of Reiki, how it works, and how it heals and energizes both the giver and receiver. And, the magical grove in the redwoods made the teachings and attunement sacred. I felt like Stacey performed an initiation ritual which was powerful beyond words. I started practicing Reiki the next day with a dear friend who has cancer and she attributes feeling better to the Reiki. Thank you Stacey!"
