REIKI

Reiki is a natural approach to healing that involves the gentle laying-on of hands. "Rei" means Universal, and "Ki," life force. This unique healing technique has been around for centuries, although it was rediscovered in the early 1900s by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese teacher and monk.

Each person has the ability to help another heal, and Reiki facilitates that process. The energy system is used to relieve pain and manage stress and provide other health benefits. It is deeply calming, and clients become so relaxed after a session that they may feel like they have just taken a nap. People who are relaxed are better able to cope with the demands of an increasingly stressful world. Reiki helps at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. It can be especially helpful for people seeking to further their spiritual growth and development.

Your Reiki Session

During your Reiki session, you will sit in a chair or lie down on a table, fully clothed. While relaxing music plays, the Reiki practitioner will place her hands lightly on your body in non-intrusive positions. Reiki energy comes through the practitioner's hands to you. As the Reiki session progresses, the practitioner's hands are guided to where she feels the energy needs to go.

Your Reiki session will last about an hour. You may feel heat, cold or tingling sensations. Reiki works at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The Reiki energy has an intelligence of its own and goes exactly where it is needed. Please be assured that any information you share with the practitioner will be kept in strict confidence.

Must I be physically present to have a Reiki session?
No. A practitioner who has received the Reiki Level Two attunement is able to send Reiki from a distance.

Is Reiki a cult?
No. Neither is it a religion or dogma or the occult. It does not interfere with a person's religious or spiritual beliefs.

Is Reiki a form of mind control?
No!

Is Reiki a form of massage?
No! Reiki is a laying-on of hands technique and is perfectly safe. Massage involves the manipulation of body tissues. The practitioner, at her discretion, works on or off the body.

Is Reiki a substitute for medical treatment?
Reiki is NEVER used to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. A client undergoing medical treatment is to follow his or her doctor's orders at all times!

Am I limited to a certain number of Reiki sessions?
No. You decide what is best for you.

Is Reiki limited to humans?
No. Reiki may be used on animals or plants.

HYPNOSIS

Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon of the mind and body that can be thought of as the power of suggestion. The late psychiatrist, Dr. Milton Erickson, once wrote that hypnosis is a part of everyday life and may be viewed as increased or decreased susceptibility to suggestion, whether done consciously or unconsciously.

The late hypnosis giant, Mr. Walter Sichort, also described hypnosis as a heightened state of awareness, which, when combined with varying states of relaxation, produces beneficial effects. Some people experience such deep states of relaxation that after a session, they may feel as if they have taken a power nap.

Everyone experiences hypnosis on a daily basis. Any person capable of imagining, visualizing or "playing pretend" can enter the hypnotic state since he or she is shifting attention to "another reality." Hypnosis involves connecting to a profound part of the self we all have - the Subconscious - to find the answers within. The power lies within.

Your Hypnosis Session

Your hypnosis session will be tailored to fit your specific needs. During the session, the practitioner uses a series of deepening techniques to relax you and induce the hypnotic state. The length of a session will vary, depending on your circumstances. Since all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, you are always in complete control.

Can anyone be hypnotized?
People enter hypnosis all the time, although they may not consciously know it. For example, people driving along the highway often find that they have
driven several miles without even realizing just how far they've traveled. This phenomenon is commonly known as "highway hypnosis." Daydreaming is another form of hypnosis. Everyone can benefit from hypnosis. The key is to have an open mind, let go and deeply relax.

How is hypnosis used?
Hypnosis can be used to manage stress, improve athletic performance, stop smoking and other addictive tendencies, improve recall, create local and general anesthesia and control weight. Hypnosis is a tool for personal growth and development.

False beliefs about hypnosis
Hypnosis is not a parlor game and is not to be treated as a joke. The old saying, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" applies here. The hypnotherapist would never give a client a suggestion that would violate the client's moral or ethical beliefs or embarrass the individual in any way. The client's Subconscious would never allow that person to accept a suggestion that makes him or her uncomfortable. The Subconscious Mind is the person's higher self - the connection to the Divine. The Subconscious protects the client at all times and if necessary, will bring an individual out of hypnosis in order to reject a suggestion that makes the person feel uneasy.

A person in hypnosis is aware of what is going on, even with his or her eyes closed. The person is never unconscious. This only occurs when a person is knocked out cold or is under general anesthesia.

TCT™

The Communication Technique™ (TCT™), formerly Kinesis, is a method for questioning the Subconscious Mind in order to receive "yes" or "no" answers. The response given is always for your highest good.

DISCLAIMER

Hypnotherapists and Reiki practitioners do NOT diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatment. They do not interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional. It is recommended that the client see a licensed physician or other licensed health care professional for any physical or psychological ailment he or she may have.

It is understood that the body has the ability to heal itself, and to do so, complete relaxation is often beneficial. Long term imbalances in the body sometimes require multiple sessions to allow the body to reach the level of relaxation necessary to bring the system back into balance. Self-improvement requires commitment on the client’s part, and that he or she must be willing to change in a positive way to receive the full benefits of hypnotherapy and Reiki. It is recognized that a hypnotherapy or Reiki program must be followed to be truly effective.
