What is Reiki Reiki is a non-invasive complementary treatment, which works on every level not just the physical. The vibrational energy re balances the body, cleansing it of toxins and reinforces your body's own ability to heal. Developed in Japan, Reiki is a system of natural healing whereby the practitioner uses the energy (Ki) flowing through his or her hands in a sequence of positions over the body to bring about deep relaxation. Reiki removes energy blockages, detoxifies the body, provides healing universal life energy, and restores the body's energy field to its natural frequency. This holistic and natural energy healing system touches all levels of body, mind and spirit. A Reiki treatment is therapeutic, rather than diagnostic, in that it aims to support a clients self-healing, not alleviate any particular diagnosed illness.
What can Reiki do for me? Reiki gently balances and calms the emotions, restores self-worth and gives back a sense of purpose. When the spiritual body is healed, the emotional body will be healed. Only then will the physical body be ready and prepared to accept any further healing from any source, either traditional or complimentary. Reiki healing has been found to be especially beneficial for stress, grief, worry and anxiety. Often, painful conditions are relieved by Reiki, as it promotes deep peace and relaxation within, so easing tension.
What can you expect? The client remains fully clothed at all times as the practitioner goes through a set healing process placing hands on or just off the body from the head and working down finishing at the feet as agreed with the client prior to the treatment. Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy and is administered by a practitioner who serves as a conduit, through whom the energy can be transmitted. Reiki can enhance everyday living, promoting a state of overall wellbeing or be beneficial in a time of stress, illness or injury. When the flow of 'life force energy' is restricted or blocked, both emotional and health problems tend to occur. During a treatment, the practitioner places their hands either on or above the recipient in a series of hand positions, enabling the energy to flow through their hands to where it is needed most. The client is fully clothed and will be asked to lie down on a couch or seated in a chair, if this is more comfortable. The treatment is unique to the individual and may be experienced as a flow of energy, tingling, coolness, warmth, other sensations or sometimes nothing at all. The majority of clients either fall asleep or enter a state of deep relaxation. Reiki energy has no boundaries and can be given in person or over distance. A distance reiki treatment is just as strong, as energy is not bound by distance or time. What you will feel? Some people feel nothing; this does not mean that the Reiki has not worked. Some people will feel heat, cold, or a combination of both, you may see colours, and you may feel tingling. All of these feelings are the energy working though your body for your benefit.
