About Reiki

About REIKI

Many practitioners of Reiki believe that the healing techniques used today have their origins in Tibet, dating back thousands of years. Some even suggest that these techniques were used in India by Buddha and later by Jesus. However, Reiki was certainly rediscovered at the end of the nineteenth century by Dr. Mikao Usui.

Numerous stories exist about Mikao Usui's discovery of Reiki energy's power and application. The most widely held belief is that he uncovered information about the symbols and healing energy in ancient texts and, during a 21-day fast and meditation on Mount Kurama, received spiritual guidance and attunement to practice Reiki.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese term that means "universal life energy," referring to the energy that surrounds us. The word is composed of two Japanese parts: 'rei,' which means "free passage" or "transcendental spirit," and 'ki,' which signifies "vital life force energy" or "universal life energy."

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice that channels "Universal Life Energy" from the practitioner to the recipient.

 

Reiki is a natural and holistic healing technique that employs a hands-on method to promote healing in the body, mind, and soul. It has the potential to heal a wide range of issues because it addresses the fundamental level of reality. The only limitation to Reiki treatment is the client's attitude; if the client is unwilling to accept Reiki, they create a block that prevents healing.

 

In addition to the physical body, humans and animals possess three other non-physical energy bodies. These bodies are made up of "Chi," an energy that influences and impacts the physical body. While conventional medicine focuses solely on treating the physical body, Reiki works to heal all four bodies simultaneously.

 

Medical science typically focuses solely on symptoms, while Reiki addresses both the symptoms and their underlying causes. Reiki operates within the energy structure that supports physical matter, allowing for change at a fundamental level. As a result, Reiki can heal both physical and emotional issues. The healing energy of Reiki possesses an intelligence that transcends human awareness; it directs itself toward where it is needed, regardless of hand position. The primary limitation on Reiki's healing energy comes from the client's willingness to let go of old habits and patterns, as well as their openness to accept change and healing.

Reiki healing focuses not only on alleviating physical symptoms but also on addressing the root cause of illness, aiming to restore the individual to a complete state of mental and physical well-being.

Reiki will help restore the balance in the body and can relieve or remove symptoms.

It's important to recognize that you, as an individual, must have a strong intention to heal before any genuine healing can occur.

Please keep in mind that Reiki should never replace medical treatment; rather, it should be used as a complementary approach to help you achieve and maintain your health.

Reiki treatment session

 

You relax while fully dressed, either on a massage table or seated, as the healer places their hands on or above you. A treatment session may last an hour or more, depending on the specific needs. In the Western world, many practitioners utilize standard hand positions and typically provide a complete treatment that addresses all the important organs of the body. There is no pressure applied to the body, making this approach suitable for individuals of all ages and health conditions. In some cases, the healer may even hold their hands away from the body.

 

Experience during a treatment

 

The experience of Reiki varies from person to person and may also differ between sessions. The energy flows to areas where it is needed, spiritually guided, and is often felt as warmth or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is typically a very relaxing and soothing experience. Most people report feeling deeply relaxed and may experience a sensation akin to "floating." You might notice heat, tingling, or coolness under the practitioner's hands. These sensations indicate the work the Reiki energy is doing in and around your body, such as adding energy, removing excess energy, balancing energy, and clearing blockages.

 

It's also possible for emotions or thoughts that you had forgotten to resurface during a session. If this happens, it’s likely an opportunity for you to learn and release these feelings. Some individuals gain insights on how to solve problems or deal with challenges. It's important to remember that all healing initiates a process of release, which may involve letting go of emotions or toxins from your body. Initially, you may even feel worse than before, but this sensation will soon pass.

All energy work during the Reiki treatment needs to be supported by proper hydration. You will help your body by DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER after the session and also in the following couple of days. A good practice is to drink a glass of water before the session as well.

 

How many treatments should you have?

 

Every person and their problems are unique. Some individuals may only need one or two sessions, while others might require several. If you're simply looking to explore what Reiki can offer you, consider starting with one or two sessions. However, if you have a chronic issue you'd like to address, we can create a tailored plan for you. I suggest beginning with one session every three days for two weeks, followed by a weekly session thereafter.

Please keep in mind that Reiki is a safe practice and cannot cause harm. However, it's important to understand that no specific outcomes can be guaranteed when using Reiki (or any other healing system). The effectiveness of Reiki depends on various factors, including your personal intent, background, and the nature of your issue. Each person experiences healing differently, and the effects can vary from one individual to another.

A BIG STEP TOWARDS HEALING YOURSELF IS TO REALIZE YOUR NEED FOR HEALING.

"I have known Oksana for almost two decades and used her services in Toronto while she lived there to help me with my health issues. She moved to Deep River three years ago, and I have not had any Reiki treatments since.
   This year, I decided to visit her for two weeks to address my problems, knowing I was in good, trusted hands—and I'm glad I did! I had pain in my back and could not walk long distances like I used to (10km wasn't a problem for me at my age). After four Reiki treatments during my stay with Oksana, I felt rejuvenated, with no back pain, and I did my first 14km when I got back home. In addition to Reiki, Oksana offered me use of her infrared sauna, which I enjoyed after my Reiki treatments.

    I recommend Oksana's services to everyone. She is a dedicated, responsible, and very positive person to be around. Oksana, if you were close, I would come once a month for treatments, because I believe this is how much one needs to maintain a healthy well-being.
     Overall, I had a wonderful experience, in a great place, with delicious food.

Thank you, Oksana."

-Sviatlana K., Toronto

 

"This is my experience after two sessions of distance healing:

I was blessed to meet Oksana more than 7 years ago and had the opportunity to have a few sessions with her in person. She helped me a lot with my problems. Although she lives far away now, I am glad I still have the opportunity to receive distance healing from her. More so, I don't see any difference, and I am very thankful to Oksana for helping me take care of myself and become calmer. I feel connected to the healing energy that Oksana sends me. The first session was very intense. I was experiencing very strong headaches that I felt move down to my chest during the session. I began wanting to breathe deeper and more. The pain then moved to my stomach, then to my legs, and it stayed there for quite some time. Suddenly, I started crying, some fears of mine surfaced of a guy that I wanted to run away from, but I struggled with myself, saying "No, don't run, you are strong, push him away". I was not sleeping, but not awake either. I had interesting feelings and a great experience. I came out like a different person.  One hour after the session, I continued to struggle with my fears, and I won. I became stronger and more relaxed. The second session was calmer. I felt the energy going through my body down to my legs again, and it stayed there, unable to flow out further. I fell asleep and I woke up with a strong headache. I realized I would have to work on improving my health to relieve all the bad from my body and mind, and that I would need to come to Oksana for another session. She is the one who can truly help anyone who needs it, as long as you believe in what she is doing and in the energy and connection to the Universe. She is what we call “from God”, that is my understanding. 

With respect and love, 

- Liliya. Kitchener"

  My comment:" All energy work during the Reiki treatment needs to be supported by proper hydration, especially during the Distance Healing. There are a few reasons why you have a headache after the session. One of them is dehydration of the body. You will help your body integrate received energies by drinking a lot of water after the treatment and also in the following couple of days. Don't forget to drink a glass of water right before the session as well. Keep the water bottle aside in case a headache starts during the session."

"Reiki with Oksana

    As I lay on the Reiki table, Oksana had her hot hands on my head. I followed the music with my breath and settled into a vision. First, Cleopatra came to me. She was so majestic. She had the headpiece and the wings of Isis. We chatted about plant medicine and the fact that she speaks 9 languages, which is very impressive. Next, Isis herself came. Wow. I adore her. She often comes to me when I’m doing healing work with someone myself. It was awesome to have these two powerful women visit and chat with me like old friends.
    As Oksana moved her hands, I asked Isis to stay for the healing. She told me that I am Isis and that I have all the healing abilities within. Wow! I remember a time when I was told that I was imbued with Isis.
    Next, Oksana moved to my third eye, where I was gifted with a diamond-shaped clear crystal; it was beautiful, all the facets refracting the colour. Lying there, I became a hollow bone. As the wind whipped through, I received a message for myself and you: Love heals all things.
    Onto the heart chakra, I saw a heart and three tea roses: pink, yellow, and white. They were perfect.
All the while, I must add, the Archangels Raphael and Gabriel were holding my feet cupped in their hands. I could physically feel them.
As Oksana finished our amazing session, I felt the helping/healing Spirits recede. 

    What an amazing session with an amazing healer.
Thank you, Oksana, for facilitating this powerful Reiki treatment.

"I have attended Reiki sessions with Oksana. I was feeling tired and drained. After my treatment, I slept better than ever and woke up the next day feeling energized. Oksana's treatments always leave me feeling strong. I feel a sense of calm and peace when I am with her. Regular visits are a must! 

  Oksana delivers professional services and pays close attention to detail. She is kind and thoughtful and cares about the well-being and overall health of her clients. 

  I highly recommend this service."

   -Susan P., Deep River

"It is wonderful to have a certified Reiki Master/Practitioner here in the valley, welcome.

  I had felt off, not being in touch with myself as I would like to be, to be more open to things around me.

   I heard about what you do and how Reiki works, and thought I would give it a try.

I had three beautiful sessions with Oksana and feel much lighter, things are just clearer..."

   -Isabella M., Deep River

 

  "It was an interesting, positive experience for sure during my Reiki sessions with Oksana.
   I happen to have some disorder in my organism: the level of prolactin hormone was always times higher than it has to be, and I was treated by an endocrinologist for a few years with medication to lower my prolactin in my blood. Oksana encouraged me to come to her for treatments, and I will probably see some positive results without medication. I agreed and proceeded with a few sessions. After a few months, I had an appointment with my doctor and before it did my blood test for prolactin. During this appointment, the doctor was surprised, “Oh, Irina, your prolactin level went down almost to normal. The cure has happened!”. Later, I was thinking about it and realized it’s probably Reiki treatments that helped me. I truly believe it now. As well, I felt more relaxed and renewed after the sessions. My stress level reduced significantly, as I was having a hard time dealing with my divorce issues. I’d bring my son to these sessions, but he’s very shy to go and do it. Pity.
   But overall, Thanks so much, Oksana, I appreciate your time and effort. I wish you to achieve more in this direction! 

   With love,"

   -Irina P., Etobicoke

  "I only came one time for healing when I had a tough pain in my neck. After that, I felt my pain had gone and I could move my neck easily to each side. I positively believe that the energy you sent through your hands to my neck was very, very helpful.
thank you"

   -Fariba A., Etobicoke

 "My healing sessions with Oksana have been a wonderful experience. During the treatment, I was very relaxed and calm. I felt a lot of heat in certain areas that were worked on, and sometimes I felt a vibration or buzz of energy or current. After the treatments, I always felt at peace and very light. I have had a total of 9 healing sessions, which I found were very beneficial and helped me with my medical condition, which could not be otherwise resolved by medical doctors. Oksana is a very dedicated and caring healing practitioner whom I highly recommend."

   -Marta W., North York

  "Oksana, my dear, I had the vision of a clear, straight path guarded by green trees when you kept your hands above my head and heart like I needed this connection. On my heart chakra, the image was so peaceful and beautiful: I had the vision of a pond full of lotus flowers. When I try to associate the colours of the chakras with the place you hold your hands on it's not working.
   I can't explain how those images appear. They just show up without me doing anything.
I think they symbolize a message from above. I feel protected, and it's so wonderful that I could say that I never encountered such a feeling before. So, if I were to associate them knowing that, then I could say that the last session meant that everything it's going to be all right even in my present situation.
  My whole being is in harmony! I'm at peace, I have confidence in what's going to happen.
   I'm so glad that I found you and that I could discover the magic effect of quantum and Reiki healing.
   Peace and light."
   -Adriana, Toronto

  "The first session was a pleasant experience. I was feeling an intense heat coming from your hands, and my mind became very relaxed. I started to see myself running in the forest, and I can't remember when I was thinking about this in the past years. When I was young, I liked to be out in the forest a lot, running or walking. At the same time, my breathing got better; I have asthma, aggravated by stress. At the end of the session, I was feeling very calm (usually I'm a little too agitated), happy and full of energy. The next days, this feeling persisted and I was sleeping very well (usually I wake up a minimum of 2 times a night).
   The second session came after a very stressful week, I was agitated, lacking sleep and tired. The heat coming from your hands was very intense, and I felt like electricity flowing through my body. Sometimes I felt like my legs were flying. My breathing calmed down, and it was much easier for me to breathe. At the end of the session, I was feeling very relaxed, calm and happy. My energy was improving, and after a very good sleep, the next day I was again full of energy, calm and happy.
   Overall, the sessions improved my energy, calmed me down and relaxed me. I am able to go over things that usually agitate me with calm and help me find solutions faster. My sleep has improved, and my breathing has also. Thank you."
