Reiki is a natural, gentle and safe form energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through non invasive hands off treatment. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Mikao Usui developed reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world to complement other forms of health treatments.

Every Reiki practitioner has a lineage traceable back to Mikao Usui through the Reiki Master who trained and initiated them and those before.

Reiki works to:

• Promote natural self healing
• Stimulate your bodies immune system
• Create feelings of peace, relaxation and wellness

Reiki Treatment

As a Reiki practitioner, during a treatment, I act as a channel between the client and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through my hands to the client.

During a treatment, a client may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the practitioner hovers their hands over an area, sometimes people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not notice any change at all.

The treatment will start with the ringing of a bell to indicate the beginning of your treatment.

Next you will be guided to breathe in slowly, and as you breathe out, become aware of and feel the tension letting go.

Reiki works by targeting the seven main chakras, the main energy centres of the body that line up along the spine through the universal energy flow from the practitioners hands as they are held in different positions over the client’s body.

The end of the treatment will be signalled by the bell once again.

You will remain laying in a deep state of relaxation and focusing on the senses and feelings of your body and mind. During this time, the therapist leaves to get you a glass of water whilst you reflect and relax. You’ll be gently sat up as you come back in to the room where you can quietly drink your water as the therapist discusses the treatment with you.

Most people feel very relaxed during a reiki treatment, and it is not uncommon for them to fall asleep in which case they will be woken up and brought back in to the room a the end of the treatment.
