The Healing Services of True Source Reiki

At True Source Reiki in Reno, Nevada, Letitia Bennett offers a thoughtfully curated selection of healing services designed to restore balance and promote overall wellness. As a practitioner dedicated to the healing arts since 2000, Letitia brings decades of experience and a compassionate approach to each session.

Personalized Reiki Sessions

Letitia’s signature service is her one-on-one Reiki healing sessions. During these personalized appointments, clients rest comfortably while Letitia channels healing energy to areas of imbalance or blockage. Each session is tailored to the individual’s specific needs, with Letitia’s intuitive abilities guiding the energy where it’s most needed.

These sessions typically last 60-90 minutes and may include:

• An initial consultation to discuss your concerns and goals
• Full-body energy assessment to identify blockages
• Targeted Reiki energy work focusing on areas of imbalance
• A gentle closing to integrate the healing energy
• Post-session guidance for maintaining energetic balance

Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and centered after their sessions, with benefits often continuing to unfold in the days following treatment.

Distance Healing

Understanding that healing energy transcends physical boundaries, Letitia also offers distance Reiki sessions for clients unable to visit in person. As a 2nd Degree Reiki Practitioner, she has been trained in specific techniques that allow her to channel healing energy across any distance.

These remote sessions can be just as effective as in-person treatments and are ideal for:

• Clients with mobility challenges
• Those living outside the Reno area
• Individuals with compromised immune systems
• People with busy schedules who prefer receiving healing in their own space

Reiki Training and Attunements

For those called to learn the healing art of Reiki themselves, Letitia offers training in Reiki Level 1 and Level 2.

These comprehensive courses include:

• The history and principles of Reiki
• Hand positions and techniques for channeling energy
• Reiki attunements that open students to the flow of healing energy
• Practice sessions for developing confidence and skill
• Certification upon completion

Letitia’s teaching style emphasizes practical experience alongside traditional knowledge, ensuring students graduate with both confidence and competence in their Reiki practice.

Integrative Healing Approach

Drawing from her extensive background in massage therapy and other healing modalities, Letitia often incorporates complementary techniques that enhance the benefits of Reiki. This holistic approach may include:

• Guided meditation to deepen relaxation
• Crystal placement for amplifying energy
• Chakra balancing for harmonizing the body’s energy centers
• Gentle sound therapy using singing bowls or tuning forks
• Aromatherapy to enhance the healing environment

By combining these elements with traditional Reiki practices, Letitia creates a multidimensional healing experience that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing.

At True Source Reiki, healing is viewed as a journey rather than a destination. Letitia serves as both guide and facilitator, empowering clients to participate actively in their own healing process while providing the expertise and energy work that catalyzes transformation and balance.

Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or simply wish to enhance your overall wellbeing, Letitia Bennett’s services at True Source Reiki offer a path to greater harmony and vitality.

The Rich History of Reiki: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Healing

The healing practice that Letitia Bennett offers at True Source Reiki connects to a profound lineage of energy healing that spans generations. Understanding the history of Reiki helps us appreciate not only its origins but also how this gentle yet powerful practice has evolved to meet the needs of contemporary seekers of healing and balance.

The Birth of Modern Reiki

While energy healing practices have existed across cultures for millennia, what we know as Reiki today was developed in early 20th century Japan by Mikao Usui (1865-1926). The story of Reiki’s rediscovery begins with Usui’s spiritual quest on Mount Kurama, where after a 21-day meditation retreat, he experienced a spiritual awakening that revealed to him the healing system now known as Usui Reiki.

Usui’s breakthrough came during his fasting and meditation when he reported experiencing a powerful light that entered through the top of his head, providing him with the knowledge and ability to channel healing energy. He discovered that this energy could be transferred to others for healing purposes through specific hand positions and intentional touch.

Spreading the Practice

After his spiritual experience, Usui began teaching and practicing Reiki in Japan. He established the first Reiki clinic in Tokyo in 1922 and developed the Five Reiki Principles (Gokai) that still guide practitioners today:

• Just for today, do not be angry
• Just for today, do not worry
• Just for today, be grateful
• Just for today, work hard (on yourself)
• Just for today, be kind to others

Before his passing in 1926, Usui trained several Reiki Masters to carry on his work, including Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, a retired naval officer who would play a crucial role in Reiki’s global journey.

Reiki Comes to the West

The bridge between Eastern and Western Reiki practice was Hawayo Takata (1900-1980), a Hawaiian woman of Japanese ancestry. Suffering from several serious health conditions, Takata traveled to Japan in the 1930s seeking treatment. There she encountered Dr. Hayashi’s Reiki clinic and, after experiencing remarkable healing, became his student.

Takata trained to the Master level and brought Reiki to Hawaii in 1937, introducing this healing art to the Western world. For many years, she was the only Reiki Master teaching outside Japan. Before her transition in 1980, Takata trained 22 Reiki Masters who continued spreading the practice throughout North America and beyond.

Modern Evolution

Since Takata’s time, Reiki has continued to evolve and expand globally. Various branches and styles have developed, including:

• Traditional Usui Reiki: Focusing on the original teachings and techniques passed down from Usui
• Western Reiki: Adapted to contemporary Western sensibilities while maintaining core principles
• Karuna Reiki: Incorporating additional healing symbols and frequencies
• Holy Fire Reiki: A more recent evolution that claims to offer higher vibrational healing energy

Despite these variations, all forms of Reiki maintain the fundamental principle of channeling universal life force energy for healing and balance.

Scientific Recognition

In recent decades, Reiki has gained increasing recognition in conventional healthcare settings. Many hospitals now offer Reiki as a complementary therapy, and research studies have begun documenting its effects on stress reduction, pain management, and overall well-being.

The National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) now acknowledges Reiki as a complementary health approach within the category of biofield therapies.

The Living Tradition at True Source Reiki

At True Source Reiki in Reno, Letitia Bennet honors this rich historical tradition while bringing her own depth of experience as a 2nd Degree Reiki Practitioner. Having begun her journey in the healing arts in 2000, Letitia understands that she stands as part of a continuing lineage of healers who have preserved and passed on this sacred knowledge.

The “ki” or life force energy that Letitia works with remains the same powerful healing force that Usui discovered on Mount Kurama—a universal energy available to all but harnessed with particular effectiveness by trained practitioners. Through her practice, Letitia continues the time-honored tradition of helping others restore balance, release blockages, and activate their body’s natural healing abilities.

By choosing Reiki healing with Letitia at True Source Reiki, clients connect not only with her individual expertise but also with a profound healing lineage that spans continents and generations—a testament to Reiki’s enduring value in our modern world.
