Reiki is the Japanese term for the universal healing life force that exists within all living things. Reiki practitioners use gentle healing touch (laying of hands or hovering of hands, or via long distance settings) to restore balanced energy within a system, space, or living being. Reiki has been honored throughout many lineages, originating in early 20th century Japan with Mikao Usui, a devoted Buddhist monk. The practice of reiki itself is non-secular and not religious by nature. Reiki ryoho has been refined and structured throughout the lineage and is used in hospital settings, birthing centers, and for post operative care.

Dragonfly Nest offers this type of energy work alongside other modalities such as Brainspotting and Somatic Experiencing, or independently. These sessions are discussed before your scheduled time and can be included within an intensive package. Reiki has been known to reduce stress, chronic pain, improve sleep patterns, relieve mental health symptoms, regulate the nervous system, and promote deep healing of many types of wound or injury. In general, energy healing has been known to stimulate the system’s equilibrium response, restoring balance and authentic life force connection. Reiki also works on the level of alpha/theta brain waves, which are responsible for deep relaxation and meditative states. There are no known contraindications for reiki, as anyone can receive this type of restoration. Please reach out for more information on reiki services.
