What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese energy healing practice that brings balance and harmony to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the soul.
The word Reiki is derived from Rei, meaning "Higher Power," and Ki, meaning "life force energy." In essence, it means spiritually guided life force energy.
Life force energy surrounds us and moves throughout the body via energy centers and pathways. It responds to everything we think, feel, say, and experience. Along the journey of life, this energy can become blocked or unbalanced, leading to disharmony, discomfort, and disease.
Reiki is high-frequency energy that works to clear blockages and restore the smooth flow of energy, which promotes healing and optimal well-being.
Reiki is non-religious and doesn’t require any particular belief system. Reiki is a natural, safe, and effective healing method that can benefit people of all ages.
In addition to supporting traditional medical care, Reiki can help alleviate side effects, promote relaxation, and assist in the recovery process. However, it is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment and does not diagnose.
As more people seek holistic wellness and inner peace, Reiki is steadily gaining mainstream acceptance as a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.
Reiki with Krista
At Red Sands Reiki, I create and hold sacred space to nurture your unique journey. From the first moment we connect, the energy begins to work its magic. As you contemplate Reiki, subtle shifts start to unfold in your life — bursts of clarity, new awareness, and beautiful synchronicities often emerge as soon as you book your session.
Your Reiki Experience will last approximately 75 minutes. You’ll remain fully clothed, reclining comfortably on a Reiki table, though sitting is also an option if needed.
I work intuitively, placing my hands in various positions on your body for varying lengths of time. During the session, you may feel warmth, tingling, or coolness. Emotions might arise, and energetic blockages may release. Most people experience a deep sense of relaxation, as the treatment feels like a glowing radiance flowing through and around you, bringing balance and peace.
Throughout your Reiki Experience, you will be nurtured and supported, with time allotted after the session to ensure you’re fully grounded before returning to the world.
To further enhance your experience, additional healing modalities such as neuro linguistic programming, tuning forks, crystals, and empowering hypnotic suggestions may be woven into your session.
As an energetic art, Reiki transcends time and space. In addition to in-person sessions, distant Reiki can also be offered, allowing you to receive healing from the comfort of your home. If distant Reiki resonates with you, feel free to discuss this option with me.
If you have scent sensitivities or allergies, please let me know when booking, as sage or essential oils may be used before or during the session to enhance your experience.
Reiki Certification
Reiki isn’t just an experience; it’s a way of life. Do you feel the pull to deepen your connection to Reiki? It’s time. Welcome to Reiki Certification at Red Sands Reiki.
I offer First Degree Reiki Certification throughout the year in an intimate, small-group setting. Each course is a unique journey, guided by the Reiki energy and the collective presence of the group. Over three days, I will lead you through the history, theory, and principles of Reiki, while teaching you hands-on techniques to work with this transformative energy — for yourself and for others. I believe in a thorough, integrated learning experience. Upon completion, you’ll feel confident and empowered to embrace Reiki in your daily life.
As space is limited, a deposit is required to reserve your spot. All three days must be attended to receive certification. The course schedule is as follows: Friday: 6pm – 9pm and Saturday & Sunday: 10am – 4pm.
At Red Sands Reiki, I honor the lineage and practice of Usui Shiki Ryoho, the Usui System of Natural Healing, connecting you to a time-honored tradition that spans generations.
But this isn’t just a weekend workshop. Reiki is about connection, to the energy, to your fellow students, and to your teacher. An energetic bond is created between us during this journey, and I am here to support and nurture that bond as you continue forward on your Reiki path. After certification, you’ll be invited to join Reiki Reunion gatherings every 8-12 weeks, as well as the private RSR Graduates Facebook group for ongoing support, connection, and growth.
If you’re ready to step deeper into the flow of Reiki, please reach out to me for further details and to discuss your next steps.
