What is Reiki? A Journey Into Energetic Healing at Sol Body
By Sol Body Massage Therapy – Mountain View, CA
In a world that moves quickly, we often forget the profound intelligence of stillness—how much healing can occur when we simply pause, tune in, and allow energy to move. Reiki, a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing, invites us back into this space. At Sol Body in Mountain View, I offer Reiki sessions as a way to support deep healing—not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
My Reiki Journey: Rooted in Sacred Space
My path with Reiki began in the majestic stillness of Mt. Shasta, a place known for its powerful spiritual energy and healing presence. There, I received my Reiki Level 1 & 2 attunements, learning to work with life force energy (also known as “Rei” – universal, and “Ki” – life energy) in a way that honors its natural intelligence and your body’s innate wisdom.
This training deepened my understanding of energetic anatomy, chakra systems, and the ways in which energy can be intuitively guided to support balance and restoration. It is an honor to now share this healing art with others on their own journey toward wholeness.
What is Reiki? A Brief History
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It is based on the idea that we all carry a universal life force energy within and around us. When that energy becomes stagnant, depleted, or imbalanced—often due to stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm—it can manifest as discomfort, dis-ease, or energetic heaviness.
Through gentle, hands-on or hands-above-the-body techniques, Reiki practitioners act as conduits for this healing energy, allowing it to flow where it’s needed most. The body and spirit receive the energy, using it in ways that align with their own innate healing process.
Reiki is not tied to any religion or belief system—it's accessible, supportive, and deeply respectful of every individual’s path.
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki works on subtle but powerful levels. Some of the most common benefits include:
Stress reduction & nervous system regulation
Emotional release & mental clarity
Improved sleep & relaxation
Energetic cleansing and chakra balancing
Support during transitions, grief, or healing crises
Enhanced intuition and spiritual connection
Many clients describe Reiki as feeling like a wave of warmth or peaceful light moving through the body—relaxing, centering, and deeply restorative.
Who is Reiki for?
Reiki is for everyone. Whether you're:
Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
Navigating a major life transition
Moving through grief or emotional heaviness
Experiencing physical tension or fatigue
Seeking spiritual alignment or inner clarity
Preparing for or recovering from childbirth
Curious about energy healing and open to receiving
Reiki offers a space to reconnect with yourself on a deep, subtle level. You don’t need to “believe” in it for it to work—your body and energy field are always listening and responding in their own way.
What to Expect in a Reiki Session
At Sol Body, Reiki sessions are quiet, grounding, and held with deep reverence. This is a space where you’re invited to fully be yourself—whether that means laughing, crying, sharing, or simply resting in silence. Everything you bring is welcome here, and you will be fully supported throughout.
You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on the massage table, surrounded by calming music, grounding energy, and intentional presence. I’ll gently place my hands above or lightly on different energetic centers of the body, allowing Reiki energy to flow wherever it’s needed most.
Clients often experience sensations of warmth, gentle tingling, waves of emotion, or peaceful stillness. Some see colors, have visions, or simply drift into deep rest. There’s no “right” way to receive—your body and spirit will take exactly what they need.
This is a safe, judgment-free space where your process is honored, your energy is respected, and your healing is held with care.
