Reiki Treatments

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies. Through the use of this technique, practitioners transfer healing energy in the form of 'ki' through the palms. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".

"At least for today:
Do not be angry,
Do not worry,
Be grateful,
Work with diligence,
Be kind to people.

Every morning and evening, join your hands in meditation and pray with your heart.
State in your mind and chant with your mouth.
For improvement of mind and body."
Usui Reiki Ryōhō.
The founder,
Mikao Usui.

What happens at a treatment?

First of all, I discuss a clients general health, and any specific conditions or concerns they may have. In most formal treatments, the client lies on a massage table or sits in a chair, fully clothed minus obstructive jewellery and shoes. I will then place my hands above the client (approx. 3-5 cm), most often in a prescribed manner (from head to feet), and sometimes intuitively, depending on the demands of the condition being treated. Reiki can also used as a maintenance treatment for balanced overall health. Most treatments are approx. 45 minutes. The client may experience heat and / or a sensation of tingling from my hands. As the session progresses the client may experience lightness, a floating sensation, deep relaxation and even sleep.

What can Reiki be used to treat?

Reiki promotes natural self-healing and can help balance the energies in the body, balance the organs and glands, strengthen the immune system, treat symptoms and causes of illness (but should never be used as a medical treatment, but to compliment it), relieve pain, clear toxins, adapt to the natural needs of the receiver, enhance personal awareness, relax and reduces stress, promote creativity, release blocked and suppressed feelings, aid meditation and positive thinking and heal holistically.
