In a world where stress seems to be a constant companion and the quest for balance is more akin to an elusive dream, there's a gentle, yet deeply transformative healing practice that beckons: Reiki.
At One Healing Touch Reiki & Massage, Adriane has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of Reiki, not just as a healing modality but as a path to self-discovery and wellness. Here's why Reiki might just be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.
No Two Sessions Are the Same
The healing energy will work with your body in exactly the way you need it at that moment. Reiki is intelligent and will always support you specifically to let go of whatever no longer serves you and align you back to your heart’s truth & knowing. How this occurs will always be different so it’s best to let go of any expectations and have an open curiosity about what may or may not occur and experience it firsthand.
Often much of what occurs and shifts during your session is outside of your mind’s conscious awareness and therefore it’s not until you leave and go back to your day-to-day life that you notice the shifts. Sometimes the flow-on effect is subtle and other times the changes will be blatantly obvious. It’s important to note that no session is more powerful than another, regardless of the outcome. It's just sometimes the mind is more aware of what has changed compared to other times!
After any energetic healing, you will go through a period of integration and adjustment as you process the shifts and changes that have been activated within you. It's not uncommon to experience physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental changes.
"The healing process is as individual as the person experiencing it. Sometimes the most profound shifts occur silently, beneath the surface of our conscious awareness. Embrace the journey of integration and allow yourself to be transformed from within."
It's normal to experience one, all (or none!) of the below:
Recognition of a change in energetic state. You may feel calmer, more relaxed, free, light, at ease, relieved, expansive, more present, more embodied, grounded within body and life.
Senses can be heightened; you may feel, see, hear, and taste things with more vibrancy & intensity.
Your energy levels may fluctuate significantly, exhaustion, or feeling “high”. You may feel called to rest more or spend more time outside in nature.
You may feel more emotional as you clear out old, repressed emotions. Sadness, grief, and anger can surface and/or burst of bliss & joy. You may be extra teary or giggly & laugh a lot.
Your subconscious mind will go through an adjustment, and your dreams hold the key to that expansion. Take note of your dreams.
You may experience physical releasing symptoms such as a need to go to the toilet more frequently with increased urine or bowel movements. You might experience some pain, headache, or cold-like symptoms. These physical detox symptoms usually pass quickly.
You may notice itchiness or tingles through the body or have waves of hot or cold energy flow through you.
Usually, any of these symptoms last between 1 – 2 days and will ease. If you are concerned with anything you notice after a session, feel free to get in contact with your practitioner.
Reiki will always bring CLARITY and TRUTH. To get the most out of your session, be very present within yourself and pay attention to the subtle shifts that will occur after. If you get waves of inspiration and creativity, follow that. Your inner compass will be heightened and help you to make the changes you need to come into balance and alignment. If you get the urge to do things differently, have conversations you feel called to, or change things up – go for it!!
What should I do to integrate the healing?
Drink plenty of water on the day and days following your session. Nourish yourself with foods that feel good to you.
Give yourself some time and space to reflect on what you experienced. Don’t be in such a rush to get back to the usual structure of your day-to-day life and allow the session to integrate.
You might like to go for a gentle walk outside in nature, meditate, have a soothing bath or shower, and/or do some journal writing to reflect on what you experienced.
Often during or after healing, you will receive insights and clarity as to what you can focus on moving forward. The healer may have offered you some insights or suggestions of specific things you can change, add, or remove from your life to support you. If this is the case, really commit to exploring and honoring what suggestions feel good for you.
Receiving Reiki is such a gift, and regular sessions (biweekly or monthly) are incredibly supportive as you grow and blossom through your life’s journey. Reiki is an ancient yet simple healing technique. The first thing to know is no two sessions are ever the same, even for the same individual. The healing energy will work with your body in exactly the way you need it at that moment.

It's been found to produce profound results all through gentle touch, positive mindsets, and energy transfer. Whether you want to receive Reiki for emotional trauma healing, energy level balancing, or to develop yourself spiritually, Reiki has endless advantages.
Here are just 7 of those amazing benefits:
Promote Harmony & Balance
Releases Tension from the Body
Balances the Mind, Body, and Spirit
Cleanses Body of Toxins
Clears the Mind and Improves Focus
Helps You Sleep Better
Helps Spiritual Growth and Emotional Cleansing
There are many ways that an individual can benefit from Reiki. It’s important to note that Reiki does not target one problem within the body but rather targets everything at once. Energy transfer is the most powerful tool in healing in this way as it heals all related elements of a particular condition.
