Reiki

Reiki is the channeling of healing life force for health, harmony and well-being. Reiki assists in balancing the energy flow, thus maintaining health. It is a very relaxing and non-invasive treatment which everyone can benefit from as no pressure is applied to the body. 

At the beginning of the treatment, the therapist will explain a little about what to expect and how the treatment will be conducted.  The client then lies down on a therapy bed and is covered with blankets, as the body's temperature drops when we are in a relaxed state.  The therapist will channel universal energy and place her hands above the client's body, or lightly on the client if he or she is comfortable with this.  Reiki usually encourages a relaxed meditative state, and the client may even drift into a light sleep. 

Some people experience colours or sensations during a treatment, but this is not necessary in order to receive healing.  the most important thing is that the client is relaxed and open to healing.  Reiki is not a means of communicating with other realms, it is very simply a means of tapping into the universal energy which flows through every living thing and which can sometimes become blocked or depleted due to stress, illness or emotional turmoil. 

 

 

More Information About Reiki

Reiki is a system of holistic healing discovered in Japan, used to alleviate pain, increase relaxation and boost well-being.

Dr Mikao Usui was born in Japan in the mid-nineteenth century. After much spiritual searching, he was initiated into Reiki during a meditative state. He taught Reiki healing throughout Japan for the remainder of his life.

Reiki refers to the life force energy that is channelled by the Reiki Practitioner through his/her palms. This is channelled to a recipient using either a hands on or off technique.

The therapist does not transfer his/her own energy in any way - he or she merely directs universal energy into your body for healing. This energy will automatically flow to where it is needed in the body or aura.

The benefits and experience of Reiki will vary from one individual to the next. Some clients report feeling different sensations such as tingling, heat, coolness and drowsiness. Others may experience colours or insights.

It is not necessary to experience anything to benefit from the treatment - all that is required is a trust in the process.

Reiki is not a religion or faith. It does rely on certain spiritual principles and encourages spiritual growth, but religious belief is not necessary to experience this treatment. What is required is a commitment to one's own healing and self-improvement.

The therapist acts as a facilitator only - ultimately it is up to the client to take responsibility for his/her own healing.

Reiki does not hurt or cause negative side effects. It is a gentle and effective treatment that will bring balance to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
