Holistic Therapies for health, happiness and well being

Reiki

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us and defined as being that power which acts and lives in all created matter.

A system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki.

Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.

Reiki works holistically, the Reiki energy flowing to where it is needed most. No two people will re-act exactly the same, but it is common to experience a sense of peace and relaxation

What can Reiki do for me?

The energy goes to the deepest level of the persons being, where illnesses have their origin, working where the recipient needs it most. It releases blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and works to create a state of balance. It also works on an emotional level, reinforcing the recipients’ ability to take responsibility for their life and helps to make necessary changes in attitude and lifestyle to promote a happier and healthier life.

What does a Reiki Session Involve?

Sessions last approx 1 hr. You will be asked to lie on a couch, fully clothed and the practitioners hands will be placed gently in various non-invasive positions on the body. You may be asked to turn over half way through the treatment. If lying down is difficult for you the treatment may be carried out equally as well with you sitting. Gentle, relaxing music will be playing in the background.
