Healing Reiki Bodywork

Reiki is an ancient technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing (sometimes referred to as “energy healing”).  It’s a powerful yet gentle healing modality based on an ancient spiritual tradition of laying on of hands.

How does Reiki work?

The word Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) comes from two Japanese words. “Rei” means “the Higher Power” and “Ki” means “life force energy” on a personal level. You might call it “spiritually guided life force energy.” It’s origins trace back to an ancient Tibetan form of healing, rediscovered by Dr. Usui in Japan in the early 1900s.

Is it gay Reiki?

The Reiki sessions I offer are available to any man regardless of sexual orientation, marital status or body type.  For the most part the men who feel drawn to this are gay or bi-sexual men who are on a personal growth journey.

Reiki benefits

A Reiki treatment benefits the whole person including body, mind and spirit. The benefits include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

Since everyone is unique, a treatment feels different to everyone. You might feel warmth, tingling or you might even fall asleep. The results are the same for almost everyone: a calm, grounded, balanced sense of wellbeing. Because Reiki is spiritually guided life-force energy, it can do no harm. It always works only for the highest good of the recipient.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement with a beneficial effect.. The International Center for Reiki Training and other groups report that it has been helpful for people with many known illnesses and maladies. While Reiki should not replace any medical or psychological care you may need, it works well as a supplement to other medical or therapeutic services and promotes healing and wellness.

What are Reiki treatments like?

During a traditional Reiki treatment, clothing is left on but you will remove your shoes, jewelry, watch and belt. In a calm, relaxing environment you will relax with your eyes closed while I move and hold my hands in various positions around your body. My hands will remain still in each hand position.

During the session, any time that I’m touching you the Reiki will flow through me into your energy system in the same way that water flows through a riverbed.

As a Reiki Master in the Usui System of Natural Healing, I have access to more powerful treatment energies than Reiki practitioners who have not completed this level of training. I began my formal Reiki training in 2009, although I was working with the Reiki healing energy long before then. Many clients have reported feeling the relaxing, calming effects for even a week or two weeks after a session.

“Mark … listened intently to my words and to my body as he guided me to a point of total relaxation… I felt uninhibited, witnessed and loved. Toward the end of the session I reached a spiritual, emotional and physical place that left me calm and keenly aware of myself and the world around me. The effects lasted for many days, even through the stress of work and everyday life.”

Sessions and fees

Sessions last for an hour, sometimes a little more, and include a brief conversation at the beginning and end about the areas you are seeking wellness and healing and what you are hoping to get from the session.

The session fee is $120 which can be paid in cash at your session, or in advance if you prefer PayPal.

Sessions are conducted at my home studio in Boston, close to the MBTA red line and easily reached by car.

If you want more time, a 90 minute session is available for $180. This longer session also gives you the option of some other modalities you may want to include in your session, such as guided visualization, laser coaching, spiritual guidance or sensual bodywork.

To schedule a session, contact me and let me know what you’re interested and how you’d like it to help you.  Due to a full schedule, I’m rarely available on short notice, and you will need to book ahead.

Other Options

If what you’re seeking is more erotic fulfillment and pleasure, then you might want to consider the Erotic Empowerment Program.  If the cost seems truly impossible, I suggest you consider Workshops.
