Reiki energy healing reiki practitioner carmel hogan

Experience Reiki with Carmel, a compassionate practitioner dedicated to helping you find peace and healing.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing practice rooted in ancient Japanese traditions. The word “Reiki” combines “Rei” (universal) and “Ki” (life energy). This universal life energy flows through all living beings, and Reiki helps restore its natural balance. During a session, Carmel uses light touch or places her hands above specific areas to channel this energy, relieving stress, pain, and emotional tension. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, clarity, or emotional healing, Reiki supports your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a Reiki session?

During a Reiki session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table in a peaceful, calming environment. The practitioner gently places their hands on or just above specific areas of your body, using light touch or hovering techniques.

As the Reiki energy flows through the practitioner, it channels into your body, helping to restore balance, promote relaxation, and facilitate healing.

1. Stress Reduction & Relaxation: Reiki triggers the body’s relaxation response, helping reduce stress and promote calm.

Reiki sessions typically last about 60 minutes, giving you plenty of time to relax and fully immerse yourself in the experience. If needed, shorter or longer sessions can be arranged to suit your preferences or specific needs. The goal is to provide enough time for the energy to flow and for you to receive its benefits.

Reiki works by channeling energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient’s body. This energy helps to restore balance to the body’s natural energy flow, similar to how we instinctively rub or hold an area that’s injured, like when you stub your toe. Our hands have energy receptors, and by placing them on or near the body, Reiki helps stimulate healing by transferring healing energy.

From a scientific standpoint, Reiki can influence the body’s autonomic nervous system—reducing stress by lowering cortisol levels and promoting a deep state of relaxation. It can also boost circulation, which speeds up healing by improving the flow of nutrients and oxygen to cells. Studies have shown that Reiki can have measurable effects on heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones, which is why it’s been recognized as a beneficial complementary therapy in many healthcare settings.

Everyone’s experience is unique, but many people report feeling a deep sense of relaxation and calm. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a gentle pulsing sensation, but it’s also completely normal not to feel anything specific. The energy works in the way your body needs it most.

You’ll remain fully clothed during your Reiki session, so simply wear something comfortable and loose-fitting that makes you feel relaxed. You may want to bring a sweater or blanket to keep cozy, especially if the room is cool.
