Susan Rivera (she/her) of New Lotus Reiki and Healing in Beverly, MA, offers in-person and distant Reiki sessions to promote healing, balance, and well-being on all levels.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice with Japanese roots that is administered through “laying on hands.” The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word Rei which means “of divine origin” and Ki which means “vital life energy.”

What is a typical Reiki session?

During a Reiki session, a warm, soothing energy flows from the hands of the healer into the client. The client is fully clothed while lying on a massage table or seated in a chair. A certified Reiki practitioner uses specific hand positions along the chakra system on the front and back of the client’s body, working mostly on the head, shoulders, chest, and stomach. If preferred, the entire session can be done without using touch. The Reiki practitioner may also incorporate aromatherapy and soothing music into the session to help promote relaxation.

Booking a session with Susan

Sessions are 60 minutes in length, although I’m happy to work with clients to tailor their session.

In-person session (60 minutes) — $100

Distant healing (60 minutes) — $100

Through distant Reiki, energy can be sent through space and time. During a distant Reiki session at your scheduled time, 60 minutes of Reiki is sent to you. You can prepare for distant Reiki by setting aside that time to meditate or sit quietly, or you can simply go about your day as usual. I will then send you notes from the session via email.

Reiki always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to meet the greatest good of the client.


What are the benefits of Reiki?

Reiki promotes healing on all levels — physical, mental, and emotional.

New Lotus Reiki and Healing with Susan Rivera - Benefits of Reiki

Reiki helps to balance your chakra system, a network of energy channels that govern various aspects of your well-being. When this system is out of balance, it results in blocked energy and leads to illness and dis-ease. Reiki releases blocked energy and keeps the chakras flowing smoothly.

Reiki eases tension, can help you feel more balanced, and can help reduce anxiety and stress.

Reiki for specific purposes

Reiki is simple, yet powerful. Beyond relaxation and balance as noted above, Reiki can be used for very specific purposes.

Through a practice known as distant Reiki, energy can be sent through space and time, whether to a person, a group, a concept, or an event.

Reiki can be used to make mental and emotional shifts, help to make (or break) habits and patterns, and shift the energy you’ve been carrying — sometimes unknowingly — from past events and/or unaddressed feelings.
