Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki means Universal Energy and it’s the name of a integrative and complementary therapy that is done by placing the hands on the body or a little bit distant from the body of the patient, always respecting a rigorous code of ethics. This therapy was created and developed by Mikao Usui in 1922 in Japan.

During the treatment the Universal Energy is directed to flow to the areas in need, clearing and unblocking the person’s own energy field. This method has 21 techniques that allow to revitalize and balance the person as well as help with the healing process.
​
With Reiki we approach any problem or disharmony from an energetic level with the intention to treat the root of the problem instead of just dealing with the symptoms. It’s very beneficial for all types of issues, from physical, emotional, mental or spiritual problems.

Benefits:

• Increase of physical vitality
• Relaxation of mind and body
• 
Reducing stress, anxiety, fatigue and general tiredness
• Decreasing states of depression, stimulating the joy for life
• Stimulating the immune system, increasing the body’s ability to respond and decreasing the levels of inflammation
• Harmonizing sleep patterns
• Helping chemical treatments, boosting the beneficial effects of drugs and reducing the side effects, such as in the case of chemotherapy
• Speeding post surgery recovery

• Balancing the mental with the emotional side. Providing a greater sense of inner peace, which brings more clarity to life issues
​
It’s not necessary to have any spiritual beliefs to benefit from Reiki treatments. All you need is your will and time. It’s appropriate to all ages and stages of life, but particularly useful at the most challenging stages.
​
During the session I also read the patient’s energy field (each chakra specifically) and I always give feedback on that at the end. I also share any advice or suggestions that come up during the reading so that each person can keep on working in their own energy after our appointment.
​

As a Reiki therapist I feel that part of my mission is also to guide the patient in recovering his/her personal power, encouraging him/her to develop the abilities to create a healthy and happy life.

​To aid us with that inner work we have the 5 Reiki principles, which are a wonderful tool:
“Just for today...
I will not be angry
I will not worry
i will be grateful
I will work honestly
I will be kind”

Therapist Catarina

Catarina is Portuguese and was raised in Macao and Mozambique. Growing up she learnt to deny her intuitive wisdom and reject everything that couldn’t be proved using logic. But life taught her that her path had to go through accepting her feminine energy, acknowledging and opening herself to intuition, sensibility and empathy. Her journey of inner evolution and healing has brought her to this point and now she dedicates herself to holistic energy work. 

​As a Reiki Therapist she also dedicates herself to energy readings (chakra readings).
​
Catarina has level 3 Reiki and level 2 Karuna certifications with the same Master – João Magalhães (President of the Portuguese Reiki Association) and she also trained and educated in meditation and Reiki for children. She truly feels like this is what she was put here to do she never felt more fulfilled.

Reiki

O que é o Reiki?
​

Reiki significa Energia Universal e é o nome de uma terapia complementar e integrativa que se realiza através de um toque suave ou a uma curta distância do corpo do paciente, seguindo um rigoroso código de ética. Esta terapia foi criada e desenvolvida pelo japonês Mikao Usui em 1922.

Nos tratamentos é transmitida Energia Universal para as zonas mais necessitadas da pessoa, limpando e desbloqueando também o seu campo energético. É um método com um conjunto de 21 técnicas, que permitem revitalizar, equilibrar e auxiliar a pessoa no seu processo de cura.
​
No Reiki abordamos os problemas ou desarmonias da pessoa a um nível energético, com a intenção de tratar a raiz do problema e não apenas os seus sintomas. Esta terapia é benéfica para questões a nível mental, emocional, físico e espiritual.


Beneficios:
​
• Aumento da vitalidade física.
• Relaxamento da mente e do corpo
• 
Reduzindo o stress, ansiedade, a fadiga e o cansaço em geral
• Diminuindo estados depressivos, estimulando a alegria pela a vida
• Estimulando o sistema imunológico, aumentando a capacidade de reposta do sistema imunitário e reduzindo os níveis de inflamação
• Regularizando o sono
• Auxiliando os tratamentos químicos, potencializando o efeito benéfico dos fármacos e reduzindo os seus efeitos secundários, nomeadamente da quimioterapia
• Acelerando a recuperação pós operatória 

• Equilibrando o lado emocional e o lado mental. Proporcionando assim maior calma interior, ajudando a trazer clareza sobre os problemas da vida da pessoa


Não é necessário ter qualquer crença espiritual para beneficiar de tratamentos de Reiki. Basta apenas ter vontade e disponibilidade. 
É apropriado para qualquer idade ou fase de vida, sendo especialmente útil nas fases mais desafiantes.
​
Durante cada sessão faço também uma leitura energética pormenorizada (cada chakra e a nível geral) e no final dou sempre feedback sobre o que surgiu durante a sessão, dando ainda algumas sugestões simples e práticas para que cada pessoa possa ir trabalhando e harmonizando a sua energia no dia a dia.
​
Enquanto terapeuta de Reiki sinto que parte da minha missão é também
ajudar o paciente a recuperar o seu poder pessoal, incentivando-o a desenvolver as suas capacidades para criar uma vida feliz e saudável. 

Para nos ajudar nesse trabalho interior, temos também como ferramenta base os 5 princípios do Reiki:
“Só por hoje...
Sou calmo
Confio
Sou grato
Trabalho honestamente
Sou bondoso”

Terapeuta Catarina 

Catarina é uma portuguesa criada em Moçambique e Macau. Cresceu a negar a sua sabedoria intuitiva e a rejeitar tudo o que não podia ser comprovado pela lógica. Mas a vida ensinou-a que o seu caminho tinha que passar pela aceitação da sua energia feminina, abrindo-se cada vez mais á intuição, á sensibilidade e á empatia. A sua viagem de cura e crescimento interior trouxe-a até aqui e hoje dedica-se ao trabalho energético holístico.

​Como Terapeuta de Reiki  também se dedica a leituras energéticas (dos chakras).

Catarina tem o nível 3 de Reiki e o nível 2 de Karuna com o mestre João Magalhães (Presidente da Associação Portuguesa de Reiki). Tem ainda formação em meditação e Reiki para crianças. Sente verdadeiramente que esta é a sua missão e nunca teve um trabalho tão gratificante como este.
