​

What is Reiki?

​

Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that the unseen "life force energy" (electromagnetic energy) flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If a person's "life force energy" is low, we're more likely to become ill or feel stressed. If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

​

Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which means "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

​

​

What is Integrative Reiki Therapy (IRT)?

​

Integrative Reiki Therapy (IRT) is blending Reiki with other biofield therapies (energy healing), manual therapies, and behavioral health techniques. IRT is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing, improving mental and physical health and wellness concerns, and self-improvement. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. IRT works with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

​

Life force energy is known as qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine and prana in Ayurveda. For centuries, energy work has been practiced in Asian cultures to help people find harmony and healing.

Integrative Reiki Therapy combines traditional and non-traditional forms of therapies, as listed above, which have aided individuals in several goals and concerns, such as:

​

  • Bring on a meditative state.

  • Foster tissue and bone healing after injury or surgery.

  • Stimulate your body’s immune system.

  • Promote natural self-healing.

  • Relieve pain and tension.

  • Support the well-being of people receiving traditional medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and kidney dialysis.

​

  • Improving habits and lifestyle:

    • Physical health and wellness goals.

    • Support the "felt sense" trauma or pattern-releasing process.

    • Changing habits (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual).

    • Learning, deepening, and fine-tuning spiritual practices.

​

Studies show that Reiki treatments may create the emotional sensations of:

  • Peace.

  • Relaxation.

​

Because it works on the entire self – mind, body, and emotions – and is universal life force energy, [Integrative] Reiki Therapy may succeed in all types of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing.

​

[Integrative] Reiki Therapy isn’t specific to any particular type of disease or condition but may also help people with:

​

  • Cancer.

  • Chronic pain.

  • Infertility.

  • Digestive problems.

  • Parkinson’s disease.

  • Psychological distress, including depression and anxiety.

  • Stress-related illnesses.

 

[Integrative] Reiki can also help you prepare for surgery, which may help boost your recovery afterward.

​

What is Chakra Balancing and Clearing?

​

Chakra balancing is a practice that aims to align and harmonize the flow of energy in the body's chakras, or energy centers. The idea is that when chakras are out of balance, it can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. Balancing chakras can help people feel more aligned, authentic, and healthy, and can promote well-being by managing the mind, body, and spirit. {AI generated overview} 

​

What are Chakra's in the body?

​

Chakras are energy centers in the body, thought to be spinning wheels or circles of life energy. The word "chakra" comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, and means "wheel" or "cycle". Each primary 'energy center' has a bundle of nerves within the areas of the body they align with. These energy centers run down the body in alignment with the spine.

​

Benefits of Chakra Balancing and Clearing:

​

  • Stress Management

  • Heightened Mental Clarity

  • Improving Emotional Well-being

  • Enhanced Physical Health

  • Ability to Strengthen Relationships and Receptivity

  • Increased Vitality and Energy

  • Heightened Intuition and Spiritual Awareness

What People Are Saying:

"I came for treatment sessions with Josephine because of issues with my weight, and health - primarily being an insulin-dependent diabetic. I wanted to get off the medication, but I wasn't having any success. After the fourth session out of eight treatment sessions of acupressure/energy work, and following her dietary recommendations, I was able to completely get off of insulin. My blood sugar leveled out. I lost 40+ pounds, and I've been insulin-free ever since. It's been over 25 years or more, now. I  don't get 'energy work', but I felt it was a God-given or guided thing, as I am a firm Christian believer, and it worked all the same for me. So, I'd definitely recommend working with her."  - Dan J.

"My very first Reiki session I came with so much pain in my back that my doctors couldn't get rid of [it], and after the treatment, it was all gone! I've been coming to Josephine for Reiki since 2004. I won't go to anyone else." - Shirley S.
