What is ARCH?

ARCH stands for Ancient Rainbow Conscious Healing and is a form of energy healing based on ancient Hawaiian shamanism. The technique was developed by Reiki master Laurie Keako'a' Grant. In recognition of her service in reviving this ancient technique, the native Hawaiians initiated Laurie as a Kahuna (traditional Hawaiian healer), even though she is a white woman.

How is ARCH different from Reiki?

Reiki has been called the Emerald Ray because it operates out of the heart chakra (energy center) and its traditional color is green. ARCH is the full spectrum and encompasses all of the rays. It has the ability to heal instantaneously and resonates at such a high frequency that it can make people go into altered states. It operates out of the throat chakra.

Is ARCH better than Reiki?

No. That's like asking if one type of massage or bodywork is better than another. All healing techniques have their uses and their place. ARCH can be more powerful and quicker than Reiki in certain situations to break through energy blockages and accelerate healing. However, not all people and animals can tolerate this increased energy. Reiki can be more gentle than ARCH since it is based in the heart center. Your ARCH practitioner has experience and training in sensing intuitively when it is appropriate to use ARCH and when it is more appropriate to use Reiki. The two techniques can also be combined in one session.

Why do ARCH on animals?  

Like humans, our pets can have physical, emotional and mental problems. Also, animals that live with us often take on their owner's problems, in an attempt to heal them. If the animal can't discharge the energy, this can make them sick. An animal that has been abused or simply not had the proper environment when young can carry trauma in their body that needs healing. While it is true that animals are our healers, sometimes we need to be their healers too.

Providing ARCH treatments for our pets is a loving way to extend healing energy to them. It can help reduce pain and enhance the animal's innate healing ability, leading to accelerated recovery from injuries and illness.

What happens during an ARCH treatment?

As with a Reiki treatment, you lie fully clothed on a table or sit comfortably in a chair. The ARCH practitioner will move their hands over each energy center of the body to draw down the ARCH energy and activate that center.

What results can I expect from ARCH?

Most people report feeling more relaxed and energized. ARCH can assist with healing and balancing all levels of the body: physical, emotional and mental. The practitioner does not control the energy or the outcome of the treatment. Rather, the intelligence of the ARCH energy is in charge and the practitioner is simply assisting in directing it to the person or animal.

Some results reported by people and pets include:

• Relaxation
• Less stress
• Reduced pain
• Improved mood
• Accelerated healing
• Improvement of medical conditions
• Increased effectiveness of other therapies
