Q: What is Reiki?
A: Reiki is a form of alternative medicine and Japanese healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that a life force of universal energy flows through all of us. There are many forms of Reiki- I am trained in the Usui method.
Q: What does Reiki mean?
A: Reiki is generally understood to mean universal life energy.
Q: What is Ki Energy?
A: It is the same word as Chi or Qi, the Chinese word for the energy that underlies everything.
Q: What can I expect from a Reiki session?
A: During a Reiki session you will remain fully clothed. Only socks and shoes need to be removed. You will be comfortably positioned on a massage table. To begin the session I will use my hand to assess your energy field as well as your "ki" flow. This will help me to identify the Chakras in your body that are blocked. I will then begin placing my hands on your Chakra points throughout your body. I move from these points once I feel the Chakra has been opened.
Q: What is a Chakra?
A: A Chakra is a nonphysical aspect of consciousness. There are 7 Chakra point in your body which dictate the flow of energy that goes through our systems. The function of the Chakra is to reflect the conscious choices that we make- to show how we are choosing to respond to the world around us.
Q: What are the benefits of Reiki?
A: Reiki energy work has been scientifically tested and found to be beneficial as a form of pain management, stress relief, and healing. People who use Reiki before and after surgery have reported experiencing less pain and quicker healing than expected. Reiki is also now being used in many hospitals for cancer patients and others who may be terminally ill, to comfort them and relieve their stress.

If you'd like to increase awareness, decrease stress, and improve your capacity to heal more quickly, then you are a well-suited client for Reiki energy work. A 25 minute session administered by Danielle is $50. Readers interested in Reiki should contact us at 732 462 6000 and ask to speak to Danielle or book an appointment with the receptionist.
