Reiki

I experienced Reiki for the first time when I was going through a very challenging time in my life. It made an enormous difference to my well-being. After a treatment I would feel much calmer and the fog would lift in my head. I was able to see things a lot more clear. This helped in dealing with day to day life and seeing a future again.  After training as a Reflexologist, I wanted other people to experience the beauty of Reiki  as well. I completed my Reiki Level 1 and 2 in 2007 and in 2019 I became a Reiki Master. My Reiki journey continues.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of hands-on healing. Reiki uses universal life energy that is channelled through the practitioner to the recipient, helping to harmonise body, mind and spirit.

Reiki is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words. The word Rei means ‘universal’ or present everywhere. Ki means life force energy. Other names for Ki include Chi, as the Chinese call it and Prana in Sanskrit. As long as something is alive, Ki circulates through it and around it. When Ki dies, the life force departs and the organism dies. Ki is also the source from which emotions, thoughts and spiritual life are drawn.

The Chinese have studied Ki or Chi for thousands of years and place great importance on it. Ki is used by practitioners of the martial arts for mental development and physical training. It is used in Pranayama (meditative breathing exercises) and by shamans in many cultures for divination, psychic awareness and healing. Ki is the non-physical energy used by all healers. It is present all around us and can be accumulated and guided by the mind.

How does Reiki heal?

It is believed that one is more vulnerable to stress and illness when reserves of life energy are low. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negativities are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In doing so Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.

What happens during a treatment?

The Practitioner will take a medical history first. Then you lie down on a treatment couch. You remain fully clothed, with your shoes removed. The Reiki Practitioner will gently rest their hands upon you, in a series of positions from the crown of the head to the feet. Each hand position is held for a few minutes, sometimes longer. During this time energy will flow into you, drawn according to your need, helping to balance your energy system. This can release stress, soothe pain and promote your body’s natural ability to heal itself. As the energy flows, most people will feel heat or tingling from the Practitioner’s hands. It is usually a very relaxing experience and some people may fall asleep. Other sensations may include seeing coloured lights or feeling as if you are floating. Sometimes people have an ‘Emotional Release‘. This means they may feel quite emotional or tearful for a little while during the treatment, as emotional turmoil is brought to the surface to be released and dissipated. 

While Reiki is very effective, it is not a miracle cure, and the effects of Reiki treatments tend to build up cumulatively. To experience the full benefit of Reiki we recommend to have 4 to 6 full Reiki sessions. Reiki generally produces long-term beneficial changes, however, once you have felt how wonderful it feels, you may want to have a regular ‘top-up’ session. Or visit your Reiki Practitioner when you feel you would benefit from another treatment.
