Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy (Rei = universal, Ki = Life energy). It is vital life energy which flows through all living things and which can be activated for the purpose of healing. Although it has its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings, it is NOT a faith system. All that is necessary is the willingness to heal.

How does it work?

The Reiki therapist channels this life energy through her or his hands to the recipient, activating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki energy goes to the deeper levels of a person's being, where many illnesses have their origin. It works wherever the recipient needs it most, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of balance. It reinforces the patient's ability to take responsibility for their life, and helps them to make necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle to promote a happier and healthier life.

The Treatment

Reiki is a very simple, non-intrusive and extremely powerful process. A treatment session lasts between 1-1.5 hours. It is usually done with the recipient lying down, fully clothed, on a massage table. The therapist gently places her or his hands in various positions over the whole body. Each position is held for several minutes. There is no pressure, making it ideal for treating the very young and the elderly, pregnant women and those recovering from surgery. The whole body is treated, not just an isolated area. This enables the energy to go right to the source of the imbalance and not just to the manifesting symptoms.

What you will experience

You will generally feel a pleasant sensation of warmth or gentle tingling in the area being touched. As the energy comes into balance, stress and tension are released and there is a deep sense of well-being. You may even fall asleep!

Reiki is helpful in most conditions, including stress, sinusitis, menstrual problems, cystitus, migrane, asthma, psoriasis, M.E., constipation, eczema, arthritis, menopausal problems, back pain, anxiety, tension, depression, insomnia, sciatica and chronic ailments. Reiki is a great tonic, and if you are well, Reiki will help you stay that way!

Can it do any harm?

Reiki will complement and increase the effectiveness of most kinds of medication and treatment. It is a completely safe, natural and holistic way of treating disease. It is healing energy in the truest sense.
