What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique by which spiritually-guided life force energy is transmitted through the laying on of hands to support relaxation and relief from stress, pain, and upset in the mind, body or spirit, and promote healing. Reiki may be used for all beings, in person or remotely. It supports all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve symptoms and side effects and promote recovery. Reiki is not, however, a diagnostic tool, nor a substitute for medical care.
All Relations Reiki offers this form of energy medicine to human and nonhuman beings, plants, and the planet, with a vision of supporting physical, emotional and spiritual health and well-being.
While Reiki is an energy-healing modality, "healing" in this context is distinct from "curing." If the body is beyond the hope of a cure, healing for the spirit may mean passing on...and Reiki can provide comfort to both the one passing and the one(s) being left behind.

Reiki and Mainstream Medicine
Depending on the practitioner you approach, the “woo factor” of the Reiki treatment you receive may vary widely….and that’s a good thing; you may like and want added spiritual elements such as chakra clearing or angel invocations, or you may not. Because Reiki is based on initiatory attunements rather than…
Overcoming the “Woo” Factor – Talking About Reiki in the Everyday World
“So what is Reiki?” It’s a question I’m asked often in business networking events, wellness fairs, and the other places where All Relations Reiki meets the public. Who’d have thought the textbook answer (“It’s an energy-healing modality tapping Universal Life Energy, guided by Spirit, and administered by light touch”)….would yield…
Engaging with Reiki? Expect Change!
When you begin to work with Reiki energy, whether as a practitioner or a recipient, you learn something very quickly: to expect change. And while this would seem only logical – you are inviting the Universal energy of Love to take part in your life and healing process, after all! –…
My First Experience of Deep Reiki Healing
Next Thursday it will be twelve years exactly. For three months my husband had been in the hospital fighting for his life after the placement of a left ventricular assist device – one of the very first experimental models. Problem was – nobody knew that he had MRSA, and worse, nobody knew…
A First and Forever Reiki Connection
It was a warm October day in a barn-garage near Philly: my cats were commenting loudly on their new boarding quarters as my friend, their temporary host, whispered welcoming reassurances to them. And that was when I saw her: a scrawny little cat, barely past kittenhood, her scruffy fur in…
A Gentle Passing
Three years ago I was faced with a terrible choice. My elder cat Sweetie, who had been on steroidal treatment for late-stage oral cancer, had been responding astoundingly well, with no breakthrough bleeding for a week and a surprising renewal of energy and appetite. But late that Friday evening, I…
What to Expect In Your First Reiki Session
Afterward, you may feel sleepy – or energized! It’s common to experience shifts, whether physical, psychological or emotional: if you have been blocked in some way (whether it’s, say, constipation, a charley-horse, or blocked emotions), you may experience a release immediately or within up to 24 hours.
To integrate your Reiki experience and energy release, be gentle to yourself! Drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep (and pay attention to your dreams!). Observe your experience with love and acceptance, remembering that this is energy moving. If you experience a major psychological or emotional release, stay in contact with your therapist to process the thoughts and feelings. And if you have any questions, please contact me at phila@allrelationsreiki.com.
I look forward to seeing you!
