Welcome to Marybeth McKinnon Lang's website on Usui Reiki. Marybeth combines her many years of Traditional Reiki practice and teaching with her comprehensive medical knowledge as a nurse to provide a complete experience and education in the healing art of Reiki! Please know that your intuition will lead you to read on and learn so much about a very simple and effective approach to healing the body and spirit....
What is Reiki? It is a wonderful body, mind and spirit balancing technique that enables the body to heal naturally. Reiki does this by stimulating your body's own innate ability to heal itself. Reiki is the safest yet most powerful form of energy healing we have to help heal ourselves physically as well as spiritually. It is very relaxing so is perfect for stress relief and stress is the number one cause of most dis-ease in the body and mind. Reiki is not a religion or a religious belief it is a spiritual practice that includes everyone. Yes I mean everyone!
The name Reiki is a Japanese word which stands for the practice of channeling Universal Life Force Energy, this beautiful energy which is our very life force or divine spirit. Although the practice of healing the body through Reiki originated in Japan in the early 1900's , the practice of healing with energy has been known for thousands of years in the eastern world. Reiki came to the American mainland in the early 1970's by way of Hawayo Takata the first female & non-Japanese Reiki Master. (Hawayo Takata or Takata as she liked to be called was born on the island of Hawaii to Japanese parents). As a Certified Master Teacher and practitioner in her lineage I am eternally grateful to this pioneering woman whom from Chujiro Hayashi and the founder of Reiki Mikao Usui, brought Reiki out of Japan and spread this healing art to others in the world.
Why is Reiki important?
Since we are all spirit bodies, as well as physical, it is important to bolster our energy fields as well as our physical body. So when illness occurs one must treat the spirit body as well as the physical body to have complete wellness. This is where Reiki comes in to help keep the body healthy or to help the body heal more completely when it is unwell. The eastern physicians have known the importance of treating the energy field for a very long time and it is catching on with western physicians how important it is to not just treat the symptoms of dis-ease in the body, but, to get to the cause of the dis-ease. I emphasize this in my classes. Reiki has the capacity to heal on 4 levels spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally so it gets to the cause of the dis-ease so that it can be addressed and healed. Hawayo Takata would say to her students "Cause and effect you treat the cause and you get the effect" effect meaning healing.
It is quite an advancement in healthcare that many hospitals are now offering Reiki to their patients. Cancer centers offer it as well to people receiving treatments since Reiki can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation as well as speed healing of injuries to the body greatly. There has been much documentation done on the benefits of Reiki and you can read about them at Medical Research & Reiki. I have been promoting Reiki in hospitals for years and am pleased to have been able to get Reiki noticed and started in hospitals in Massachusetts & Vermont. Nurses and Doctors should all be properly trained in Reiki since not only can they help their patients more, they can perform self reiki and benefit from the stress relief themselves. When channeling Reiki the practitioner receives Reiki since it is passing through them as it makes its way to the clients cells. I always feel better after channeling Reiki it is such a gift to us.
How does a Reiki session work? When you receive a Reiki treatment a Certified Reiki practitioner will place their hands gently on or above specific areas as well as intuitive areas of the body and a feeling of relaxation and well being occurs. Reiki can be channeled hands on or off the body, and since Reiki is not massage no removal of clothing is necessary at all so one could receive a treatment during a lunch break and return to work renewed.
Though it is not necessary for the practitioner to be aware of disease processes in the body for Reiki to work, since Reiki does the work, it is beneficial to have Reiki done by someone who is aware of the body and the emotional impact on the body since they may be able to offer more to your session. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose or prescribe, but, they may offer appropriate guidance if requested by the client . Reiki is not a substitute for when medical intervention is required, but, it is important to continue Reiki as part of your treatment regimen. Increase your water intake after receiving Reiki since this helps to flush out and rid your body of toxins that have been released from the cells. This is important to do when receiving most energy based alternative healing. I am grateful as a nurse to have alternative ways to heal the body. The body is such an incredible machine ,with its own natural healing properties, this is greatly enhanced with regular Reiki sessions or by daily self treatment if you have received the Reiki initiations by a qualified Reiki Master teacher.
One hour Reiki session $65.00 to 75.00

Reiki & Animals: I have a home in an agricultural area in Vermont, this area is filled with wonderful animal people such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, chickens, cats you name it, and I have performed Reiki on all of these animals with great success. Reiki is simple in its application so one can do Reiki easily to an animal also. You can have me come to work on your pet or you can take a class with me & I will show you how to work on people as well as animals!
Distance Reiki: Reiki can also be channeled remotely to someone who cannot come in for a treatment or they are located in another state or country. Distance Reiki is a wonderful way to send healing to someone and is very effective. I have clients in the United States and internationally who contact me for distance Reiki since they feel better when I send them Reiki. I perform distance Reiki several times a week and the results are amazing. I often will combine distance with hands on Reiki for people who are going through cancer treatments or a severe illness since my continued energetic connection with them helps so much.
One Distance Reiki session is $ 30.00
Multiple session discount is available for 5 or more sessions.
