Our digestive track is one big nervous tissue that is directly affected by our emotions. Reiki works at the level of the emotional body to relax and promote feelings that calm and regulate the nervous system.
Reiki is a word from the Japanese language, meaning “Guided Life Force Energy.” Life force energy is non-physical energetic frequencies that makes up all matter, living and non living. Life force energy makes up our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and consciousness, it flows through every living thing and connects us all as beings on this planet. A Reiki Practitioner has been trained and energetically attuned to be able to connect with this Life Force Energy and offer it to you to be received exactly where you need it to support your physical, mental and emotional bodies’ natural healing processes.
“Reiki is love,

Love is wholeness,
Wholeness is balance,
Balance is well-being,
Well-being is freedom from disease”
Our Minds, Brains and Guts are all intricately connected. Our minds feel emotion. Emotions are processed by the brain which is the main organ of the central nervous system. The brain sends signals through the nervous system highway to instruct our body on how to proceed with the emotional information. Our digestive tract is one big nervous tissue! The nervous system is responsible for sending the energy and information for all of the functions of digestion. Emotions affect the nervous signals that are sent through the intestinal tract which is why we feel “butterflies” in our stomachs when we are nervous or excited. And why we can be “sick to our stomachs”. And why some people will loose control over their bowels when they are in a fear state. Or, when you get really bad news it can feel like you’ve been “punched in the stomach”.
When our nervous system recieves a mental, physical or emotional signal of stress, it pivots into a state of fight or flight. When our nervous system is in a state of fight or flight, our parasympathetic nervous system takes a back seat so that the sympathetic nervous system can do it’s job of getting us out of danger. This means that while we are running to save our lives, hunger and digestion are not the primary focus. Therefore digestion sort of “shuts down” during this time of survival. The problem here is that many of us tend to stay in this state of fight or flight more than we are resting and digesting. Reiki promotes feelings that regulate Parasypathetic / Sympathetic balance. Most of my clients, myself included, experience stomach rumbling and gugrling as soon as the Reiki Energy starts to flow. This is an obvious signal that the “restful & digestful” parsympathetic nervous system is waking up!
In an attempt to demystify Reiki and other energy healing techniques, if these non-physical, invisible emotions are so obviously affecting the human body, then Reiki is a non-physical, invisible energetic medicine that meets the emotional body at that level and in turn positively affects the physical body. It’s very much like tuning a musical instrument. Sound is also non physical, invisible energetic frequency. We can’t see it but we all agree that it exists. Sound healing is its own energy medicine. I think we can all agree that music has the ability to make us feel good!!!
More often than not, a person’s physical health concerns, especially chronic health concerns, are connected, at some degree, to energetic imbalances. If you were to take away our energy body and measure what is left, we would fit on the tip of a needle, so it makes sense to me that it would be good idea to consider that when we are trying to heal.
As a Functional Nutritionist, I was trained to look for the “Root Cause” factors affecting a person’s health and wellbeing. It became very apparent after working with hundreds of nutritional therapy clients, that the “root cause” of many of their health problems were in the energy body and were way deeper than what we could see, logically understand or measure on a lab panel. That brought me to the ACMOS Energy Balancing system, and then to Reiki.
Reiki can be used for most ailments including problems at the mental, physical and emotional levels. At the begining of a Reiki session we will work with your energetic intelligence to find out what the best style of Reiki is right for your intentions at that moment in time. We will also obtain information about any additional energy tools that would be helpful, such as crystals, sound healing, essential oils, numeric sequences, sacred geometry, colors, laser acupuncter point stimulation, etc… We work based on the guidance from your energy body.
My clients are experiencing increased improvements in their physical, mental and emotional health from our work together combining Functional Nutrition and ACMOS Energy Balancing with Reiki.
Reiki Sessions can be a stand alone treatment or combined with other services.
