Heal Your Body, Mind, & Life with Reiki

Reiki Defined: rei·ki · rākē/ noun: 1. a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient , to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

Energy really does abound. Reiki training provides practitioners with a direct connection to that ever-present energy. Through attunements, regular practice, meditation, and facilitating healing, Reiki practitioners can be a clearer path for Reiki energy. Reiki can then be used to bring harmony and balance to the root cause of disease and imbalance as well as relieve physical, mental, emotional and energetic conditions.

Note: Reiki is non-invasive and can work in conjunction with medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

History of Gendai Reiki

Where Buddhist Reiki & Western Reiki Meet

‘Lifted by Light’s’ practitioner—Sharon Richardson—uses Gendai Reiki Ho, which in literal terms, means ‘Modern Spiritual Method’. This lineage of Reiki was born when traditional Buddhist Reiki Masters wanted proliferation of Reiki in the western world.

Structured and honed by ‘Hiroshi Doi’ who is a member in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, Gendai Reiki Ho is thought to be the very close to the original Usui Reiki Rhoyo techniques. In this lineage, Hiroshi Doi fuses Western-style Reiki with Usui Sensei’s spiritual perspective and desire for Anshin Ritsumei—a life supported by a peaceful mind—for all people.

I heard about reiki when I took a course on integrated nutrition. At first, I was skeptical. My sessions with Sharon left me feeling very relaxed. During my treatments I felt the energy very strong from my waist to my head and in the days that followed I felt good. I look forward to future treatments.

I had never heard about Reiki before, but I trusted Sharon to treat my hands and soul. I felt warmth radiating in my hands. In my last treatment, I actually felt the cold leave through my fingertips as the heat radiated down my arms. I’ll be back for more…

I read up on Buddhism, crystals, and Reiki after seeing a session in a movie. My session was very relaxing and I actually fell asleep. However, I do remember feeling heavy… Now, I feel lighter like a weight has been lifted. My eczema and back pain also got better. People say I look more relaxed. Can’t wait till my next treatment.

I learned a bit about Reiki though my wife. I wasn’t feeling well and my shoulder hurt every time I raised my arm… I couldn’t workout for a few days. I had a Reiki session with Sharon. The next day, I was able to do over 100 pushups—my norm—without even thinking about it. Then, I remembered having the treatment. Thank you.

I am grateful for my experience at Lifted By Light. Sharon took time to sit and share transformative ways to shift my energy and remain balanced throughout my day. In her own gentle way she reminded me that we can’t help what happens in our daily lives but we can control how we respond and care for ourselves. Reiki healing is one amazing way to do that. Thank you, Sharon!
