Reiki Healing
Reiki is a form of alternative medicine that originated in Japan and was developed by a Japanese Buddhist monk called Mikao Usui. Usui developed Reiki for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Usui directly taught Reiki to over 2,000 people during his lifetime and his teachings have been passed down through the generations.
Reducing Stress, Increasing Relaxation and Promoting Health
Reiki is a technique used for reducing stress, increasing relaxation and promoting overall health and vitality. A Reiki treatment is given by 'laying on hands' and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy or 'chi' flows through us. If this life force energy is low or becomes blocked we are more prone to feeling stressed and unhappy, or becoming unwell, whereas if it flows unhindered we can expect to feel happier and remain healthier. A Reiki practitioner can help to balance this energy or 'chi' to give an increased feeling of calm & wellbeing, reduce anxiety and stress and encourage healing on a physical, psychological and spiritual level.
Reiki is based on the same energetic principles as Acupuncture (a popular Eastern form of medicine where the flow of chi is manipulated through the gentle insertion of needles) and Reiki is now practiced in many hospitals, medical settings and private practices around the world.
Relaxation and Peace
During a Reiki treatment the practitioner's hands are gently placed on the client's body in a variety of unobtrusive positions with each position normally being held for a few minutes before moving on to another area. An experienced Reiki practitioner will be able to feel or sense where the energy has become blocked and will adjust their hand positions accordingly. Clients often report a feeling of relaxation and peace during the reiki session, sometimes a feeling of energy flowing through their body and often a sensation of warmth in the part of the body that the practitioner is treating.
Tailored to your Needs
Reiki treatments can be tailored for specific conditions, whether physical or psychological, or for general health, relaxation and wellbeing. The training that I received follows the system of traditional Japanese Reiki, taught by the original founder of Japanese Reiki, Mikao Usui, and handed down in a direct line from Usui by his students. This training has been without any western modifications. I was keen to learn Reiki in the form in which it was originally taught and intended and in addition to providing Reiki healing for others I regularly practice my own self healing and Reiki meditations in order to promote my own health and wellbeing and to further develop my intuition and skills as a practitioner.
A typical Reiki session lasts for 60 minutes while the client remains fully clothed - typically lying down on a massage table or sitting in a comfortable chair.
