Reiki and its benefits
Traditionally Reiki is referred to as the “Universal Life Energy” or “Divine Energy”. In my experience, Reiki is much more than energy in the way we are accustomed to interpret this term. I personally experience its quality as light and frequency combined into a potent, pristine, self-intelligent unified field of which energy is but a derivative.
Reiki energy has its own divine intelligence and always chooses the shortest path to the cause of the disharmony. It is not a product of a specific person and is not controlled by anyone’s will. The healer, recalibrating his or her etheric bodies through initiations from a Master of the lineage as well as developing their intuition, can become its vessel and conductor. This is a very delicate, soft and gentle energy that effects the totality of our bodies in order to restore wholeness and bring about the deepest wellbeing. It is positive by nature and can be directed only towards creation. It cannot be a carrier of anything "negative" nor can it be contaminated in any way.
Reiki approaches a person as an indivisible whole, a unity of mind, soul and all the physical and etheric bodies. Therefore the effects are wholesome, deep reaching and durable. However, Reiki will benefit you as much as you are ready to allow it to do so. Someone who comes with an open and accepting mind, has a better chance to taste the fullness and power of its effect.
Reiki sessions cause a feeling of complete peace and relaxation, thoughts become more clear and positive, health is strengthened a new sense of empowerment dawns within. Everyone who receives Reiki enjoys an immediate sensation of well-being. Reiki increases the productivity of physical and mental labour as well as focus and can be successfully used as a part of the treatment of any disease. It is compatible with the use of drugs (except for pain killers), facilitates the preparation of the patient for surgery and recovery after surgery. Reiki facilitates challenging life changing transitions by offering you more clarity, centeredness and self-assurance.

How Reiki works
Every session, every interaction with Reiki is nothing short of the solar nurturing and spiritual healing of the soul. Reiki flows from the highest and the deepest source. Its purity, power and light passes through all the structures of the human being, cleaning, dissolving and bringing light to all the accumulated blockages and dysfunctionalities. Reiki acts like a tuning fork, under repeated effects of which all our physical and etheric bodies are being aligned and brought into harmony, thus gradually eliminating the cause and the need for physical, mental and emotional discomfort. This is a unique gentle, non-invasive healing modality that offers systemic universal support to the trinity of the human being: body, mind and soul in their unity with the Divine Source.
In the course of healing sessions the mental pressure and stress are gradually alleviated as we start to experience greater clarity and higher, more constructive quality of our thoughts. Our interaction with the outer world, both social and natural improves and deepens. We return to and become more stable in our center. Our physical bodies are meant to receive tremendous self-healing, resources from our outer etheric bodies and directly from the Source. This process is however greatly diminished by trauma, limiting belief systems, stress, disconnection from the nature, self-abandonment, poor nutrition, digitalized life, suppressed self-expression and great many more factors. The light of the Divine Reiki works to break down the obstructions and restore our self-healing capacities.
It's a well known fact and has been proven by the science that it takes prolonged and consistent disruption on emotional, spiritual and mental levels in order for the body to start manifesting physical ailments. Reiki strives to uncover the root cause of the disease, bringing all the dysfunctionalities into the light of the consciousness for us to process, reconsider, acknowledge and change or discard. It does so while offering us the necessary support, strength and clarity to do that in the most harmonious way. And this is how the healing occurs. It doesn't do the work for us; instead it offers clarity and energy for us to be able to take the necessary steps to our wellbeing. Once we come in touch with Reiki, we are naturally motivated to bring our life into greater harmony. Improvements on the physical level of the body follow as a natural side-effect. The secret of miraculous healing lies precisely in the fact that it is not a person who heals with his or her energies, but the vital spiritual energy of the Universe, of which the healer is but a conductor.
Success depends on both the healer and the patient. The more you are able to receive Reiki and the more patient and dedicated you are to your own healing, the greater the chances of improvement and recovery. For every step of yours towards your healing, Reiki makes ten. Reiki is remarkably self-intelligent, and it knows how to deliver healing to each person. It doesn't agree its actions with neither the healer not the patient. It will most likely offer what one needs rather than what one wants. It might clear the meridians or remove the painful stuck excess of energy in some organs, it might boost your vitality, it might choose to tackle the physical discomfort first or make you resolve your spousal issues.
In order to be able to receive Reiki to the fullest, it is recommended to come to it in the state of openness and trust. Nothing impedes the flow of this Divine energy more that mental doubts, lack of faith or scepticism. "Every hesitant rock wobbles the tower".
Like a first spring flower gasps for every sunray, like the dry desert yearns to be irrigated by the soothing rain, should a person receive Reiki energy.
Reiki knows no distance
As a unified field of light and frequency, Divine in its essence and omnipresent, Reiki knows no distance and can be successfully transmitted at any distance, from the privacy and comfort of your home. The effects of long-distance sessions are equal to those of the in-person ones. These can be conducted by agreement on time when you will be able to lie down undisturbed and receive Reiki, or during interaction via Zoom/Skype if you wish to maintain communication during the session. You can choose to have a long-distance healing session to be done overnight in your sleep or order a long-distance healing session for your loved ones or pets, provided we have full consent of a person in question.
As a master healer I have been initiated into the sacred symbol that allows me to work through time and space. Evoking it during a long-distance session allows me to effectively connect to the recipient’s field regardless of their location. This is based on an ancient Hermetic Laws of Similarity and Oneness, which hold that everything in existence is interconnected.
During long-distance sessions I do not use any phantoms or proxies (e.g. teddy bears), instead I connect directly to the recipient’s field through Reiki itself with the help of the accompanying symbols.
What happens during an in-person session
Every session includes a free consultation (15-20 minutes or as needed) and the actual 1-hour long healing session.
During the consultation we discuss your concerns, expectations and your experience after previous sessions if you are a returning patient. Traditionally Reiki is delivered through the touch, if however you are uncomfortable with it; I can place my hands just above the body. This doesn't affect the quality of the session.
During the healing session silence in encouraged. You will remain mostly in lying position and clothed. Every session starts with short sound healing using an alchemical crystal bowl to loosen the tensions in the body, harmonize the frequency of your field and shift your awareness from the contracted mundane state to a more expanded and receptive one.
Every person has a different experience with Reiki. Some people feel intense heat, tingling, chills or even numbness, while others feel deep peace and profound release. Most people feel refreshed and uplifted from the experience. It is important to know that regardless of whether there are any sensations or not, Reiki works every time. When the session is over, I’ll place my hand gently on your right shoulder. This is a sign for you to start to come back to your body. You don’t need to get up immediately. It recommended taking a few moments to slowly become aware of your environment and your body. If there is a need we can discuss our observations in the end.
It is recommended to wear lose comfortably warm clothing for your sessions that doesn't impede the blood circulation and energy flow in any way.

What happens after a session
Every person's experience is different. Some people carry the light and clarity for some time after the session, others experience immediate physical relief, inspiration and insights that guide them to the root cause of their discomforts, others still experience a healing crisis to a various degree. The healing might start on more subtle levels of your being which are hard to detect or it might begin with the quite obvious healing crisis, which occurs as a normal reaction to any detoxification and cleansing. This can be compared to running a strong stream of fresh clean water through old rusty pipes. It will stir all the impurities and will try to flush them out. It is important to drink plenty of water and be mindful of one's state, taking rest as needed. If you intend to be working on a chronic, old issue, it is advisable to plan your first session before the weekend, so that you can rest and allow the purification to happen (should such take place).
Usually the effects of the Reiki sessions are cumulative and therefore it is recommended to approach most issues with a series of 3-5 (or as needed) sessions.
Reiki can assist on a spiritual path
Reiki flows from the highest and the deepest source. Its purity, power and light passes through all the structures of the human being like stream of the soothing dew of Divinity, cleaning, dissolving and bringing light to all the accumulated blockages and dysfunctionalities. Reiki acts like a tuning fork, under repeated effects of which all our physical and etheric bodies are being aligned and brought into harmony.
My approach
I have been humbled and blessed to have been exposed to the well preserved teachings of the classical Usui Reiki lineage and it is my calling to transmit it in its purest form. I’ve experienced firsthand the supreme unfathomable intelligence and divine compassion of Reiki and refrain from imposing my will or any kind of direction on it. Your body will take and distribute the flow of Reiki in the most efficient way where it is needed the most. Therefore, instead of trying to manipulate it, I disappear into it, there is just Reiki and the recipient…

Sound healing
Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of the sound healing is that by inducing the brain into an Alpha-wave state, a state of wakeful relaxation, it cradles us into a quiet and peaceful place of who we truly are, it awakens and activates our natural healing powers, gently and effectively detoxifying the unity of our bodies, minds and emotions. By producing such a deep state of relaxation it effortlessly taps into the vital healing force dormant within us. It is my joy to offer a brief complementary (5-10 min) sound healing session using alchemical singing bowls to relax you before a Reiki session.
