Reiki is an age old form of natural healing that was practised in India and other cultures in ancient times and was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui of Japan, from where it has spread to the rest of the world. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning 'universal life energy’ - Rei=universe; and Ki=the life energy which flows through us all. It is a natural and subtle healing energy that heals and help us by providing peace and relaxation through hands-on and gentle, therapeutic touch to different parts of the body.
Reiki works well with traditional medical treatments and will not
conflict with them - it will complement and enhance them and
helps to build holistic health at all levels of our being. It can help us in any of the following areas of our life:
Stress management; Sickness or Imbalance; Before and After surgery;
Phobias and Fears; Relationships; Personal Development and Spiritual development. It Harmonises emotions and unfolds
potentials.
It does this by spreading peace at the cellular level through relaxation and deep natural breathing. It finds underlying causes and tries to remove them by releasing related blockages.
What Reiki is NOT: Reiki is not a religion or superstition and it is not a ritual or black magic.
Reiki can be sent to a person who is not physically present and this is called DISTANT HEALING.
When you receive Reiki Healing, you lie fully clothed on a treatment
table while the practitioner’s hands rest on your body allowing the
energy to flow in different positions starting from the head, and then working
on the front and back of your body.
Reiki works on many levels, alleviating physical ailments and relieving stress and
anxiety. Because Reiki brings about deep relaxation, it may also help
people obtain more clarity and insights about themselves, which may
lead to further helpful changes in their lives. A single Reiki treatment is
said to be the equivalent of 4 hours deep sleep and leaves you feeling revitalised, calm and centred.
Reiki balances
the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional aspects of our lives. It
is given without diagnosis and does not claim to be a cure.
