REIKI

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that works to restore balance in the body, mind, and nervous system. Rooted in Japanese tradition and influenced by Buddhist and Eastern philosophies, the word Reiki translates to “universal life energy”. 

​

The practice is based on the idea that energy flows through the body and when that energy becomes blocked or depleted, it can contribute to stress, emotional overwhelm, physical imbalance/tension.   Reiki works on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level, helping to realign your entire system, and can be a powerful complement to other therapies - especially for those dealing with stress, burnout, anxiety, grief, or simply needing a reset..

Your Reiki practitioner’s role is to create a clear, grounded, and compassionate channel through which this healing energy can flow.  Intention, presence, and training allow them to direct the energy toward areas of the body, mind, or spirit that may be holding tension, imbalance, or emotional residue. The practitioner does not channel their own personal energy during a session. Instead, they act as a conduit or channel for universal life force energy, which flows through them and into the recipient. This distinction makes Reiki safe and sustainable for both giver and receiver, and is one reason why it’s often described as a spiritually guided, rather than effort-driven, practice.

During your Bodhi Canmore Reiki session, your practitioner will use light touch or hover their hands over specific areas of the body to support the free flow of energy.  Most clients experience a deep sense of calm, emotional release, and nervous system regulation during and after treatment.​​
