What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced “Ray-key”) is a simple Japanese energy-balancing method that is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. It is most well known as a sort of hands-on treatment technique, and many people have regular Reiki treatments.

                                                                                                

Where is it from?  

Reiki was developed by a man called Mikao Usui in the early 1900s in Japan and people use Reiki for self-healing, for spiritual– or self-development, and to treat others. Reiki practitioners carry out meditations, treat themselves, and follow a set of simple spiritual principles called the Reiki ‘precepts’. Reiki is not a religion.

What can Reiki do?

Anyone can benefit from a course of Reiki treatments, no matter what your age or your state of health, and beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time. Reiki can produce:

A speeding up of the natural healing process

* Boosted energy levels

* Reduced stress & anxiety

* A feeling of inner calm, contentment and serenity

* Develop a strong sense of purpose and clear-thinking

* Remove some of the ‘clutter’ from your life

Reiki can also help you to: 

  Feel more positive, confident and better able to cope

   Enjoy a better quality of life

Reiki Treatments

Receiving Reiki from a practitioner is a simple process. The client lies on a treatment table and the practitioner will gently lay their hands on the body in a series of hand positions on the head, torso and legs, sometimes hovering the hands rather than touching. Each hand position is held for a few minutes. During the treatment, energy (called 'chi') is drawn through the practitioner into the recipient, helping to produce a state of balance.  The recipient remains clothed throughout the session.

What might I feel?

Deep relaxation, heat from the practitioner's hands, perhaps tingling, a feeling of floating or sinking, or perhaps nothing at all.  It varies a lot from one person to another.

No matter what you feel, Reiki is giving you what you need.

How many treatments?

Just a one-off Reiki treatment will do something beneficial for you, bringing a sense of calm and peacefulness and possibly some short-term physical benefits too.  However, the best results come through having a course of treatments over a few weeks.

As the benefits of Reiki are accumulative, a course of treatment will help to produce long-term beneficial changes for you on all levels - mental, physical and emotional.
