About Reiki

Reiki is an ancient healing art that flows from the heart of Japanese wisdom. In fact, the word reiki is formed by merging the Japanese word REI, which translates to universal life, and KI, which means energy. In other words, reiki is rooted in universal life energy. The energy is channeled by gently placing the hands on the body in specific positions as a way to stimulate the movement of energy within the body and kickstart the body’s own ability to heal.

In the practice of Reiki the free flow of energy within the body is associated with good health and well-being. When the life energy within you is blocked, it can result in physical, mental or emotional imbalance or illness. By restoring the free flow of energy, Reiki can help you heal and regain your equilibrium.

The body cannot cope and heal simultaneously

Often our bodies need help to be able to relax and get out of survival mode. In nowadays fast paced society we unlearned how to truly relax. Even if it seems like we are relaxing, we are often still ‘working’ in our heads, thinking of the next thing on our to do list or re-experiencing a situation that triggered or affected us. We feel tension, pressure, or even guilt about doing ‘nothing’. Or we feel bored, as we are addicted to outside impulses, unaware that the state of deep relaxation is the state in which we heal and get clarity. Reiki helps facilitate the switch from coping to healing. By bringing the body into a deep state of relaxation (a state between sleep and being awake, called the hypnagogic state), it provides a moment that is truly for you. You are the only thing that is important in that moment, no pressure, expectations or distractions from the outside. It gives your body and nervous system the chance to heal, become stronger and get clarity.

Become Sacrosanct

Willpower

Reiki feeds your willpower, clears the fog of confusion and makes you able to see with clarity - to see the truth. As you will be able to see clearly, your willpower will be accelerated, as you will feel what choices to make and what path to follow. Having the ability to see and feel your purpose gives an enormous drive and willpower to conquer and achieve your goals. For me it is one of the best state of minds to be in.

Resilience and standing your ground

Experiencing  brainfog, an unfocussed mind, fear, distractions and feeling confused make it very hard to achieve your goals, as you are not seeing things clearly and it makes it easy to be pushed off your path. The smallest happening or comment from others can already affect and influence you. Feeling grounded, strong and clear about your intentions and purpose will make you resilient and immune against any influence. You will know your truth and nothing or no one will be able to muddle your mind and bring you off your track. It’s the biggest gift you can give to yourself, from yourself, as all is already within you - a sacred confidence, dormant inside of you, ready to be awakened.

  • "The Reiki sessions brought me gently, but powerfully into the present moment. I felt a deep sense of calm and awareness that stayed with me long after each session. It was like being invited to just ‘be’: fully, quietly and peacefully. A truly beautiful experience of presence and relaxation.''

    — Evi Geluk

  • "I walked away from the session feeling lighter, more grounded, and deeply connected to something greater than myself. Monika’s presence is healing in itself, and her intuitive energy work is truly powerful."
