Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. (Rei meaning Universal and Ki meaning life force energy). This is the vital life energy which flows through all living things and which can be activated for the purpose of healing and personal growth. It dates back to about 1000BC and was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 19th Century.
Reiki is a safe and natural hands on therapy which promotes healing on all levels, physical mental emotional and spiritual.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.
How Does It Work?
We have subtle energy systems and pathways within our bodies where this universal life force flows.
This Energy enters our system through centres known as chakras and is distributed throughout the body to maintain health and vitality.
When the energy is blocked in some way, illness or disease can result.
A Reiki practitioner channels this life force energy through her hands. The Reiki energy will then go as deeply into your body as it needs, working wherever it is needed most. It releases blocked energy, cleanses the body of toxins, helps to restore balance and encourages your body's natural ability to heal itself.
What Happens At A Treatment?
A Reiki treatment is simple, safe, very gentle and yet powerful.
You lie down fully clothed on a treatment couch with pleasant music playing in the background.
The practitioner places her hands in various positions on or above your body, starting at your head and face working down to your feet.
You are then asked to turn over and the treatment continues on your back.
The session lasts for 60 minutes.
How Will I Feel?
Generally you will notice a feeling of warmth or gentle tingling in the area being touched.
As the energy brings the body into balance, stress and tension are released and you will feel a deep sense of relaxation, you may even fall asleep.
A Reiki treatment will help you to feel invigorated, inspired, rebalanced and revitalised.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For a quick boost of energy - one session may be sufficient, the longer you have had a health imbalance the longer it could take to release it. Whilst there is no hard and fast rule, three consecutive treatments are usually recommended. Followed by a monthly session as required.
Who can benefit from Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle therapy and anyone can benefit from a treatment including the very young and the elderly. It is particularly good for treating stress and anxiety; it can help to strengthen the immune system and release long held emotions. There is no health problem- physical, mental or emotional- for which Reiki cannot offer relief and frequently release. Reiki will complement and increase the effectiveness of most kinds of medication and treatment
