What is Reiki

The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being. Known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. Acupuncture, T’ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person. Reiki (pronounced Ray-key), commonly known as Universal Life Energy, an energy which animates us all and is found all around us. Reiki is a form of energy channelled through the practitioner to the recipient. Reiki helps to harmonize body, mind and spirit for yourself or anyone you want to help.

Reiki treatment
You relax, fully clothed, laying on a massage table, or on a fouton or matress on the floor or seated in a chair. The healer then places their hands in various positions on your body. A treatment can last an hour or longer depending on the treatment required. In the western world most practitioners use the standard hand positions. They can also place their hands on a specfic postion to target any given problem area.
There is little or no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required and can normally be felt as a warm or cold sensation can also be tingling in some parts of the body. Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience!

Reiki is an effective healing method
Reiki can be used for many ailments like reducing stress, relieving pain, headaches, stomach upsets, back problems, asthma - respiratory problems, PMT, menstrual problems, sinus, anxiety and many more. (Please remember that Reiki should never be used instead of medical treatment, it should be used as a compliment to conventional treatment only.)

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment or a Reiki attunement. As in any healing the first step towards a healthier life is a desire to be healed.
