SUPPORT THAT PROMOTES RELAXATION AND FUNCTIONING BALANCE ON ALL LEVELS OF MIND, SPIRIT, AND BODY. 

 

Usui Reiki is a gentle healing art method of hands-on support based on the teachings of Mikao Usui (1865-1926) who practiced and taught these specific techniques in early 20th century Japan. It is administered by the laying on of hands and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.  Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it based on belief or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using spiritually guided life force energy.

 

Gentle Earth adheres to specific criteria that are aligned with the Japanese influences of the system rather than new-age influences and is dedicated to following the spiritual practices of the system of Reiki from a Japanese perspective. Betty will not provide any type of diagnosis or offer a "physic reading" as that is not part of the traditional Japanese practice of Reiki. 

 

A Reiki session can help ease tension and stress and can help support the body to facilitate an environment for healing on all levels – physical, mental, and emotional. A session is pleasant and relaxing and is often utilized for one’s personal wellness. Reiki practice is safe, and cannot interfere with any medical care you are receiving.

When you receive Reiki, you’ll lie fully clothed on a well-appointed therapy table while your practitioner places her hands lightly on or just above your head, shoulders, back, chest, stomach, and limbs. A regular series of hand positions are used. A recipient of Reiki might feel a warming sensation or a tingling during the session or nothing at all but sheer relaxation. The session should be very pleasant, relaxing, and invigorating.

 

Sessions are now available in many U.S. hospitals as a complement to any and all conventional medical and psychological care. Reiki has no known contraindications and can be used in any setting. It gives you an opportunity to get your tank of life force energy “filled up”. You needn't have anything “wrong” with you to benefit from a Reiki session. Wherever you are, you can plug into a source that replenishes you with deep love, grace, and peace.
