Reiki, EFT & Body Energy Work and embrace your healing precious time

What is Reiki?  

Reiki is a Japanese-Tibetan holistic technique discovered and developed by the Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui (often referred to as Usui Sensei) in the early twentieth century.  

Reiki is a spiritual and healing energy that serves as a simple yet powerful therapy involving the laying on of hands on the healee’s body. Reiki healers act as channels for this spiritual energy, allowing it to enter the body and balance energy levels, remove energetic blockages, release stress, soothe pain, and promote the body’s natural ability to heal itself. This technique works on both the body and mind, addressing emotional and spiritual levels.  

Reiki possesses an innate intelligence, guiding the energy wherever it is needed in the body. Additionally, Reiki is effective for plants and animals. Over time, this practice enhances intuition, meditation, and personal spiritual evolution. Essentially, Reiki embodies the pure essence of energy flowing within the universe.  

What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?  

Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is an alternative therapy. It helps us to understand and manage our negative emotions. This technique involves tapping on the meridian points located on the upper body (including the head, face, neck, Torso and arms). This tapping stimulates the meridians, allowing us to focus on and process the emotions we experience. As a result, our consciousness and subconsciousness communicate, fostering greater emotional awareness and spiritual understanding. EFT enables us to let go of emotional burdens and move forward in a constructive manner. Despite being present in our daily lives, emotions are not our enemies; rather, they are tools that guide us in transforming any situation. EFT teaches us how to navigate this process effectively.  

This transformative technique was developed by Gary Craig, the founder of EMOFREE.COM, who recently passed away in January 2026. His work was influenced by Dr. Roger Callahan, the founder of Thought Field Therapy (TFT), a psychiatrist who used Chinese acupressure points to treat patients suffering from severe phobias.  

What is Body Energy Work (BEW)?  

Body Energy Work is a gentle acupressure technique applied at various meridian points. It involves soft kneading on the face, neck, and shoulders, effectively releasing physical tension and improving blood circulation. This practice allows the physical body and mind to heal on multiple levels. Maricela may incorporate 10 minutes of Body Energy Work during her Reiki and EFT sessions as needed.
