 More is Better


Sometimes less is more, but when it comes to Reiki, more is better. One of my students who had been relying on 20-minute treatments during Reiki Circles came to me recently for a session. His comment afterwards was, "I had forgotten how much difference a full-length session makes."
 
As practitioners we are well aware of the benefits that can come from 20 minutes of Reiki: a headache gone; chronic pain mitigated; an emotional burden lifted. Valuable as these brief sessions are, I have always believed longer sessions have a much greater impact.  
 
My own practice is set up to allow each treatment to last as long as it seems to need to. I tell clients to allow two hours for a session. The treatment itself typically lasts about an hour and a half, but occasionally may go longer. I believe sessions structured this way encourage healing on a deeper, more long-lasting level than time-limited sessions.


Although I have been doing longer sessions for clients since the beginning of my practice, it is only recently that I've experienced them for myself. Over the years, sessions with my Reiki exchange partners have been limited to 45-60 minutes. These exchanges have been transformational for me, bringing about healing emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

However, recently I have begun an exchange during which my partner and I do not set a time limit; we allow sessions to take as long as they seem to need to. The difference has amazed me. The feeling afterwards has been that I have released all energy that is ready to be released and the shift in my perspective on whatever issues I'm dealing with is often immediate, dramatic, and lasting. I feel complete after the session, rather than,"That was great, but I wish it could have lasted longer.""

It goes without saying that it isn't just the length of an individual session that makes a difference; consistent treatment over time is also key to long-term healing.

Heidi Harrison

Heidi Harrison was in the first Reiki Master class I taught. She told me recently, "Your Master class propelled me into my dreams. I finished college, obtained meaningful work, and began to ask myself how I could incorporate more Reiki into my life."  

 

In answer, she established a weekend Reiki practice giving distant Reiki over the phone, incorporating prayer, chanting, and intuitive readings into her treatments. Less than a year later, she has her own hour-long, national call-in Internet radio program. Listeners who call in receive Reiki through Heidi's intuitive reading of areas of blockage in their bodies.  

 

On CBS Sky Radio and Spirit Guide Network, the show will be broadcast live Friday nights, starting January 6 at 8:00 PM Pacific Time (11 PM ET.) To call in during the show, dial 248.545.7685. To schedule a private appointment with Heidi, call 425.776.2034. Visit her website: www.yourreikijourney.com

Join the Distant Reiki Angels

Distant Reiki Angels are a group of Level II or above practitioners who have agreed to entertain email requests for distant Reiki. 

Based on available time and other life circumstances at the time of the request, each "Angel" evaluates the request and chooses whether or not to send Reiki. If the "Angel" chooses to proceed, he or she will send distant Reiki as frequently as possible over a two-week period, or longer, if necessary.

Requests are sent to me. I organize them and forward them to the group.

For more information or to join this group, contact me.
