WHAT IS IT? Reiki is an ancient and revered practice which promotes and accelerates healing and balancing of the body, mind and spirit. Reiki is a Japanese word that translates as "Universal Life Energy". A Reiki Master and practitioner has trained to focus and direct this energy. |
|
Reiki is not a spiritual belief and in no way contradicts any individual religious belief. It is instead, a simple and gentle transfer of energy that accelerates your body's ability to heal itself. It opens the embodied mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain, to the necessity for taking responsibility for one's own life, and to the joys of ever changing, yet constant balance of wellness and harmony.
THE EXPERIENCE
A Reiki session is often experienced as gentle, relaxing and meditative. While wearing comfortable clothes, the client lies down on the table or sits in a comfortable position. A complete treatment lasts a little over an hour. |
|
|
During this time, the Reiki practitioner allows their hands to rest gently for 3-5 minutes or more on a number of positions corresponding to the major organs, chakras, and endocrine glands. The client need only relax and receive. One often settles into a profound state of relaxation, peace, and wellbeing. People experience Reiki as gentleness, safety, and unconditional love. Many sense a feeling of heat from the practitioners hands, emotions are sometimes released, and the energy of Reiki knows where to go, supporting ones' wellbeing, balance and harmony. The practitioner is a conduit for, not the source of Reiki energy. An intake form is completed at the beginning of the session, you settle in on the table, and Gwen will play the flute as a way to transition from busy life to restorative harmony. Afterward, there is space for reflective silence together, before any observations are shared. Gwen does not offer advice or counsel, her coaching, teaching and performing hats are in another room, and she is not a medical professional. |

Testimonials
A Reiki session with Gwen Klassen enhances my physical and spiritual well-being! It takes place in a comfortable room with a view and begins with an inquiry as to how I am doing and I immediately feel cared for. After settling onto the table, Gwen plays the flute and the live music encompasses me and I begin to relax. She then begins the hands on energy work. The problems I was having with my ankles have been resolved and healing is happening in my broken arm. I leave the session feeling restored, relaxed, and relieved of stress! Thanks Gwen!" J.T.

"I was privileged to have a few Reiki sessions this summer with Gwen Klassen. She carries an aura of caring and nurturing those who know her. The sessions were peaceful and soothing. She began by just talking with me, which brought a personal level to the experience. After I was laying down, my body was washed over and through with the beautiful sound of her playing flute for 5 minutes. So amazing, the music just fills your soul! Then the calm and warm touch of her hands on different areas of my body brought my thoughts to a halt and I just relaxed into the experience. into almost a form of meditation. Afterward we chatted about the session and I went away with a calmness of spirit and peace. Thank you Gwen." C.W.

"I went into the session with Gwen with a healthy sense of curiosity, but also skepticism. I deliberately avoided reading too much beforehand about what Reiki was so that I was able to go into the experience as open-minded/without prejudice as possible. The session itself was comfortable and pleasant. Gwen created what felt like a very safe space.
“Intensely relaxing” is the best way I can describe the session itself. Extreme relaxation. For me, the most interesting part of it all was how I felt after the session. It is difficult to articulate. I just felt really ‘light’. ‘Light-headed’ but also ‘light-bodied’. Gwen gave me a glass of water and I took a few minutes to ‘collect myself’. I probably should have taken a little longer. Driving the car home, my arms felt strange on the steering wheel. I didn’t feel 100% ‘present’ – as though I was kind of watching the traffic instead of being part of it (probably should have waited a little before driving…)...I was still feeling ‘light and tingly’ 8 hours after the session.
What I find interesting about my reaction is that it was not what I had expected (so in that sense – not a placebo effect). I had been going through a lot of family ‘stuff’ at the time, and I had expected a more emotional response. Which didn’t really happen – it was more a physical experience. I don’t know what I would compare it to, but it felt great – won't be my last Reiki experience." JJ.N

"Reiki sessions with Gwen are therapeutic and healing. Gwen has a gentle reassuring manner. She is professional and also intuitive in how she administers touch and energy. At the beginning of each session, Gwen asks if there are areas I am especially having difficulty with that she should focus on. Once I am on the table, Gwen plays flute, which is beautiful and soothing and begins the time of relaxation. Her touch brings warm, comforting, healing energy. After each Rieki session, Gwen takes time to talk through the experience, including helping process thoughts and emotions that arise. I was working through grief at the time of my sessions, which Gwen helped me with. The benefits of the sessions extend physically, mentally, and emotionally. Thank-you, Gwen! " MKH
