Question 1

What Is Reiki?

Accepted Answer

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. Reiki is a bridge of Divine Light and Love, administered by “laying on of hands” and light touch, with the intention of healing for the highest and best good for all.

Reiki is not religious; it does not require any specific belief. Reiki works with your belief system, for the Highest and Best intention of Light.

Reiki is an intelligent universal energy that flows through all of Life. The Reiki practitioner acts as a bridge, allowing this loving, healing energy to flow freely to the recipient, without doctrine.

At Eloia Healing ArtsTemecula Reiki Center, we practice Reiki utilizing Divine Energies, utilizing Guidance from the Elohim, Holy Fire, Ascended Masters and Archangels. Our ultimate purpose is to help you to access this same Divine Guidance available within you.

Question 3

What Are Sessions Like?

Accepted Answer

During the session (after a short evaluation) the client will lay down on a massage table, fully clothed.

The most common feelings and sensations area warmth, maybe tingling in the area where the Reiki practitioner is placing her hands in the body's energy centers, removing blockages on the organs and areas where energy is not moving.

In some cases, the client may have feelings of sadness or anger for a short period of time, while the Reiki practitioner removes the unhealthy stuck energy from the affected area(s).

Question 4

What is and How do we define the energetic body?

Accepted Answer

If we are able to shift our perspective, we can change our relationship to the issue that may be preventing us from experiencing our optimal homeostasis. Sound not only helps with inducing relaxation, but also has a way of moving through areas of blockage. These energetic blockage areas can be located in our physical bodies, our subtle bodies, or both.

The physical body is where we experience localized pain and discomfort. Using tuning forks, especially osteophonic tuning forks (they vibrate at lower frequencies), we can stimulate the release of Nitric Oxide, a free radical molecule that has been proven to positively affect pain transmission and control. Which, in short, means that these frequencies help to create a physiological reaction, while the sound itself helps to influence our auditory system, enabling us to modify our relationship to the pain.

Our "subtle body" is our energetic body. This body is where our life force energy exists, commonly referred to as Qi, Chi or prana. In Chinese medicine, meridian points are used to pinpoint areas that have restricted energetic flow to our physical and subtle bodies. The body is known to have thousands of these meridian lines that are mapped out through the body, in the same way we've mapped out the latitude and longitude of the earth.

The subtle body holds imbalances and traumas that can eventually manifest in our physical bodies, which is why it's important to look at healing and balance not only from a physical perspective, but as a complete holistic experience that includes mind, body and spirit.

Sound has the ability to positively affect our whole being. Eileen McCusick, author of Tuning The Human Biofield, has been exploring the theory that our subtle body acts as memory storage. For example, a tree has rings that extend outward as the tree grows. McCusick suggests that our subtle body expands and stores our life experiences in a similar way. If we apply frequency with tuning forks we can help blocked energy from past experiences move toward the energetic filtration system of each chakra, so that the stuck energy can be recycled back into our life force.

Question 5

How does a Sound Bath work?

Accepted Answer

Sound baths help to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur).

This same concept is utilized in meditation by regulating the breath, but with sound it's the frequency that is the agent which influences the shift.

Question 6

What is Sound Therapy like?

Accepted Answer

A sound therapy treatment is both a passive and participatory experience. The passive aspect is that you become more relaxed by laying down and slowing your breath. By doing this, you prepare yourself to become the receiver of sound. It's in this place of stillness that you participate by becoming more open and aware of each sound that comes in. Sound helps create the pathway to this place of stillness the same as a mantra helps you to arrive at the still point of meditation.

Sound healing is the use of specific instruments, music, tones, and other sonic vibrations to balance and heal the body, mind, and spirit. It involves using specialized sound frequencies to create a therapeutic atmosphere to promote deep rest, nervous system rebalancing, and emotional release. Sound therapy is applied by instruments that send audible sound waves. Some of the tools I use are chimes, drumming, tuning forks and Himalayan singing bowls. It's important to note that awareness plays a huge role in our own healing. I always encourage clients to incorporate simple, but effective breathing exercises and vocal toning exercises in their daily routine, to help bring a greater sense of balance into their lives.
