Reiki Cleveland
Introducing Reiki Therapy at New Dawn Cleveland!
As New Dawn Pilates and Yoga in Cleveland aims to be your local holistic health hub, adding natural therapies like reiki and Indian Head Massage to our services is a “natural” fit (excuse the pun!).
The word “Reiki” comes from a combination of Japanese words: “Rei” meaning universal life, and “Ki” which means energy. Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically on the body, mind, and spirit. It amplifies and intensifies the combination of power and touch, so that you feel an immediate release of stress and deep relaxation. Not surprisingly, this natural therapy is growing in popularity all the time!
What is Reiki Massage Good For?
Reiki is a helpful technique for those looking for gentle, natural treatment for pain, anxiety, or fatigue, as it accelerates the body’s own self-healing ability.
It can also assist with:
Improving mood and emotional wellbeing;
Better sleep and relief from insomnia symptoms;
Lowering blood pressure;
Reducing stress;
Releasing tension from the body;
Relaxation;
Breaking down energy blocks;
Balancing the mind, body, and spirit;
Improved clarity and focus.
Your First Reiki Session
If you’ve never seen a reiki practitioner before, it can be a little nerve-wracking, not knowing what to expect. However it’s a very gentle treatment and you will most likely find it incredibly relaxing!
Your reiki practitioner will place their hands lightly on - or near - your body in a quiet and peaceful setting. Unlike a massage, you remain fully clothed while the practitioner turns their focus on certain areas of your body, such as the head and shoulders, the stomach, and the feet (depending on your needs).
During the session you may fall into a light sleep, like a deep meditative state - and this helps to restore the nervous system. It is also quite common to feel heat from your practitioner’s hands, and subtle or cascading waves of pulsations through your body during this energy transfer.
The Theory Behind Reiki
Often trauma, fear, anxiety, excessive stress and limiting beliefs can cause energetic imbalances and even blockages. This can leave us feeling “stuck” psychologically and physically, however when these are released through reiki, your body, mind and spirit are free to return to a harmonious state.
Energy is all around us and extensive research indicates the universe and everything in it is made up of energy, so there is likely a lot more to Reiki – an energy healing technique – than what science can currently understand.
