What is Usui Reiki?

Reiki, pronounced Ray-Key, is a Japanese technique used for stress reduction and relaxation to promote healing. Named after Dr. Mikao Usui who discovered it in the early 1900s to administer a "hands on" gentle healing technique. "Rei" means univeral and "ki" means Prana or life energy - Reiki is the universal life force energy. Life force energy flows through and surrounds everything. The flow of energy is guided by God-Consciousness or the highest loving intention, and goes where it is needed most. The energy will find where there is a block in the body or energy field and charge it with positive energy. The negative energy is cleared and opens space for positivity.

There is no energy exchange. The Reiki Practitioner simply channels the energy from Source and directs it toward the client, so no one is taking on anyone else's energy. Because Reiki is guided by pure love, it can do no harm. It will go where it is needed and is always helpful.

Reiki can move through time and space, clearing blockages from one's past, present or future. It may clear the energetic field, open blockages within the body or mind (such as negative thought patterns), reduce stress, calm the mind, clear out negative energies, and more. It may also be sent toward a difficult relationship or situation (past, present, or future) to allow for a better outcome.

What does Coor Flow Yoga offer?

Distance Reiki is offered on my website for 20, 30, 60 or 90 minute sessions. I conduct these sessions in a quiet space using my crystals, grids, pendulums and any other tool I feel called to use.

I connect with your energy to help balance your chakras and listen to my intuition to see what else you need. If you have physical aches, I will direct the energies to where it needs to go for healing. You may also want the energy to be sent to a situation or to feel a sense of calm.

Afterwards, I will email you with any information I received during your session.

What can I expect to experience in a Distance Reiki Session?

Everyone's experience is different, every session is different. Most people feel a sense of calm or relaxation, difference in their physical or mental state (if they were previously in discomfort or overwhelm). You can feel warmth, cooling, or tingling sensations. Some feel nothing at all. For deeper problems, like an illness, trauma or problems from the past, you may differently and lighter or inspired to change your inner dialogue to create a better situation for yourself. Sometimes, especially for deeper situations, you may need multiple sessions and to work on it outside of these sessions as well. For others, one session may be enough.

About Betsy

I've been practicing Reiki since 2008. I am a certified Usui Reiki Master & Sekhem Reiki Master, which used together feel very balanced to me. I also often invoke the loving and healing energies of Dolphins and Orcas, receiving energy from them and honoring them with love and gratitude in return. Before my regular Reiki practice, I was a mess! I feel the energies of others and can often confuse my own emotions with theirs. Reiki helps to center and protect my energetic field so I stop taking on everyone else's problems and emotions. I'm grateful for this modality and to be able to share with anyone who desires to experience the calming energies as well!
