What is Reiki?

​

“Reiki” (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life force energy’.  It is the energy around and within us.  A term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal.  This energy flows through all living things and is vital to wellbeing.  The energy is known as Ki in Japan, Chi in China and Prana in India. Acupuncture, T’ai Chi; and Yoga are all based on the free flow of this energy in a person.

 

This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century which is activated by intention and can work on all levels. Reiki has evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication.

Benefits of Reiki

​

Illness can be a time of great stress.  Reiki can help us cope by encouraging deep relaxation and bringing balance to both mind and emotions, inducing a calm and peaceful sense of wellbeing on all levels.

​

Reiki encourages and supports positive, personal choices, including exercise, improving diet and self development.  This may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco.

​

Regular Reiki treatments promote a greater inner harmony, balance and a calmer response to life’s challenges.

​

 How is a treatment carried out?

​

The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body using their intuition and training as a guide. There is no massage or manipulation. Reiki can be used on the person as a whole, or on specific parts of the body. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance. 
A treatment is non diagnostic; non interventionist; non manipulative and no pressure is applied.

​

Reiki is taught by Reiki Master/Teachers, who have trained in the tradition passed on, in person, from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation/attunement to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a personal and emotional perspective, but also as an aid to individual development and spiritual growth.

​

I am able to trace my Reiki Lineage back to Dr Mikao Usui.

​

Reiki does not take the place of conventional medicine and you are advised to always consult with your GP with any health concerns you may have.
