Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki (Ray-Key) is a system of natural healing originating in Japan. Reiki means spiritually guided vital-energy, thi s energy flows through all living things. Reiki flows through the practitioner’s hand to bring healing wherever it is needed. 

Dr Mikao Usui, a professor of theology rediscovered Reiki at the end of the 19th century and spent the rest of his life teaching and practising Reiki. 

Reiki is natural, entirely safe and because Reiki does not exert any physical pressure it is ideal for children, the elderly and those recovering from injury. 

Reiki is a pure energy science based on sub atomic physics, and is widely accepted by many people in both fields of medical science and healthcare. 

Reiki can be used for personal growth as well as physical, emotional and mental health improvements. A Reiki treatment affects people in a very personal way. The most common experiences are a: deep sense of relaxation, and well-being, with relief from pain and everyday anxieties. 

Reiki is not a religious belief system. There is no need to believe in Reiki for the healing to take place, as it works on subtle energies and the unconscious mind.

What happens during a treatment

Your first visit will be slightly longer than subsequent treatments because it includes an assessment. 

As Reiki is a holistic therapy all aspects of your lifestyle will be taken in to account, including such things as diet and general medical history. 

Hands are placed on the body over the clothes and unlike massage the hands are kept still. Or the therapist can direct the energy with the hands away from the person’s body. 

Simply lie-down, close your eyes and relax as the non-intrusive energy flows through your body, relieving symptoms, stress and every day turmoil. 

A Reiki treatment lasts for 1 hour and is physiologically the equivalent of 3-4 hours’ sleep.
