Reiki

Reiki is an ancient natural healing system developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, who lived in Japan during the early part of the last century. After many years of research and meditation, Dr Mikao Usui developed this system of healing and spent the remainder of his life teaching and practising Reiki.

Applying Reiki to the body is a gentle but powerful way to support and enhance the life force energy in any living thing and is a useful aid to healing both physical and emotional problems. Reiki cannot be used to do harm. It is non-denominational, non-religious and available to all age groups and states of health.

 

The essence of healing is that it is a change of state for body and mind. Every system in the body has its own inner wisdom and “knows” what it must do to give balance and harmony to the whole. Healing is an individual process which takes its own time. All that is needed to begin is a willingness and intent to engage in the process and be part of it. No one else can heal you – you heal yourself. Reiki works gently with both body and mind to aid the process.

A full treatment is given with the recipient lying fully clothed except for shoes on a couch or sitting in a chair. It is usually a hands-on treatment with the therapist placing their hands on a sequence of positions on the body to transmit the Reiki energy. It is not intrusive or in any way embarrassing and most people enjoy the contact. When receiving Reiki you will feel pleasant warmth or tingling in the area being treated. Most people easily relax deeply feeling a release of tension and anxiety which allows healing to begin. In this state of deep relaxation the healing systems of the body are free to make whatever adjustments are necessary to improve health. Some people fall asleep during treatment and awake fully refreshed and revitalised.

 

Reiki can help anyone – you do not have to be ill to benefit from its calming and relaxing effect
