Revitalising Reiki

The word ‘Reiki’ translates as ‘universal life energy’. Reiki uses energy to stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes by facilitating its flow throughout the body. It has been practised since the early 1900s when Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui (known as Usui Sensei) brought together elements of his own spiritual practices to pioneer the healing method we know today. Reiki is not taught in the normal way of teaching. Rather a Reiki master (teacher) passes on the ability to use energy to heal to their students through a number of attunement sessions. 

Reiki is a powerful form of natural hands-on/hands off healing which aims to balance the mind, body and spirit and reinforce the body’s natural ability to heal itself at all levels: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.

In Reiki there is no massage or manipulation and I treat the whole person rather than focusing on specific symptoms. During their Reiki treatment many people say they can feel a flow of energy – a mild tingling, warmth or sometimes coolness – while others say they feel nothing at all. Reiki is used for a wide range of conditions, including physical problems, mental issues and emotional distress. It is a deeply relaxing therapy and can help to reduce stress, as well as relieving pain and promoting self healing.

We all have the potential to find Reiki beneficial and it can be used to treat patients of all ages. The therapy is very safe and can be used alongside conventional medical treatments. Treatment takes place lying down on a couch in a quiet, private space, remaining fully clothed throughout. Sessions are usually 40 -50 minutes.

*Please note you should consult with the appropriate health practitioner in case of any medical condition. Reiki is not a substitute for medical care and not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
