Reiki

What is Reiki?

'Rei is defined as Universal ilfe gving and, like the rays of the sun it gives life to living things.  'Ki' is defined as energy flowing through all living things.  'Ki' is also known as Light, Prana, Chi, Cosmic Energy or Universal Radiant Energy.  Reiki is Universal Life-giving Energy and is a simple, natural, healing method that can be used safely at any time, in any place and for anything.  It is a wonderful complementary therapy and enhances the benefits of all other therapies and treatments. 

What happens at a Reiki treatment?

The treatment takes place with you lying on a treatment couch, or it can be carried out in a seated position if this is preferred. You will remain fully clothed so it is useful to be wearing clothes that are comfortable and not too tight.  During a treatment the practitioner places their hands on or above your head and/or body, arms or legs.  A treatment lasts 60 minutes but please allow an additional 15/20 minutes for your visit especially the 1st time, so there is plenty of time before and after the Reiki treatment for any discussion, if you feel and wish to do so.

What will I feel during and after the treatment?

During a treatment you will generally feel sensations of heat, cold or tingling but the sensations felt will vary between individuals and all of them are normal. Some people feel nothing at all; this too is perfectly normal. You do not have to feel any physical sensations for positive effects to be gained from the Reiki.  Directly after the treatment, you may feel very relaxed, even drowsy.  As you become more alert you will feel calm and energised.

It is quite common for a ‘healing crisis’ to occur after a Reiki treatment.  This usually manifests as symptoms feeling worse for a while before improving, or emotions may surface as the cause of disharmony is being addressed.  This ‘healing crisis’ should be seen as a very positive progression as it usually indicates the end of a cycle of learning and allows holistic healing to progress. For this it should be respected and acknowledged; it is a time where it is paramount you should love, nurture and respect yourself and your feelings.

What can Reiki do for me?

Reiki offers many benefits, in a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual way.  Experiences of Reiki are individual but generally, people tend to feel less stressed, more energised and much more focused.  It brings deep relaxation and can improve sleep whilst increasing energy, vitality and confidence levels.  This in turn can improve relationships at home and work.  Reiki brings balance and clarity.  It can make life seem clearer and your life’s purpose more apparent.  There is usually a feeling of having experienced something beautiful, your heart will open and something within will be transformed.

What I love about Reiki is the simplicity. We do not diagnose with Reiki, we let the Reiki make its way to the imbalanced areas, allowing it to deal with the root causes of all your physical, emotional and spiritual problems.  It is a life-changing event, the start of your spiritual journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
