Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Force Energy”. It is an ancient system of Healing that encourages physical, mental, emotional healing and spiritual growth.

It is of a spiritual nature, yet it is not a religion or a belief system. Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on healing technique, using spiritual energy to treat physical ailments It is an holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonizing. Reiki is learnt through a process of attunements. This ancient science was hidden for thousands of years and in the 1920’s the Japanese learned scholar and Buddhist priest Dr Mikao Usui(1864-1926) rediscovered an ancient way of chanelling healing energy, creating the Usui system of energy healing, Reiki.. He dedicated much of his life to finding out how Jesus and Buddha had been able to heal. A person who has been attuned to Reiki has experienced a very ancient technology for fine tuning the physical and etheric bodies to a higher vibrational level, becoming a channel. Once attuned to Reiki, we are able to consciously draw it into ourselves from the universe, travelling through the healers’ hands into the recipients body, charging it with positive energy. Reiki cleanses the body of built up toxins, relieves pain. Soothes shock, calms the mind and emotions and promotes a state of relaxation and wellbeing. I enjoy practicing Reiki and I will soon be teaching this beautiful method of healing. All healing is about bringing imbalances into balance. I believe, that all healing energies come from the same source, but they may have different ways of working and different vibrations. I have been healing for many years, using methods of Spiritual healing with the Reiki system.

Dr Usui’s memorial states: ‘If Reiki can be spread throughout the world it will touch the human heart and the morals of society. It will be helpful for many people, not only healing disease, but the earth as a whole’.

Treatments take about an hour, usually carried out on a therapy couch. Remaining fully clothed and the hands of the practitioner are placed and held still in specific positions on the head and body, no (private) parts of the body are touched.

You normally feel very relaxed and peaceful after a treatment, and Reiki can also bring to the surface old issues and patterns that need releasing, so this can make you emotional. I have witnessed many wonderful things happen. Different sensations are felt during the treatment, it varies according to each individual and to each treatment.
