Reiki

 

Reiki means "universal life energy". As a Reiki practitioner, I act as a channel for this energy, to increase its flow in, around and through the client. Reiki is a system of natural hands-on healing originating in Japan, which restores balance, health and well-being.

Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual; and can be a powerful aid in personal development. As blocks are removed and toxins released, some discomfort can be experienced during a treatment; however most people find treatments to be deeply relaxing. Some people say a Reiki treatment is the equivalent to 4 hours deep sleep. If you decide to learn to practise Reiki yourself, you will find it an invaluable life-long friend.

 

Treatments

During a treatment, the client remains fully clothed.They lie down or sit in a chair, whichever is more comfortable. Starting at the head, I place my hands in a series of positions covering the client's body. Each hand position is held for several minutes. Some pressure and light massage may be applied. The whole person is treated, though certain areas may receive special attention as the energy directs.

Each person experiences a Reiki treatment differently, depending on their individual needs at the time. Often people feel a deep sense of relaxation and peace during a treatment. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience colours, whilst others can have a physical or emotional reaction, indicating the body's healing processes are working and balance is being restored to the system.

Reiki works on all conditions. Some examples: 

Reiki helps to boost the immune system, release toxins from the body, encourage good circulation and digestion, calm the mind and emotions, and restore harmony and balance to the whole being.

Reiki supports all forms of treatment, both conventional and complementary, and can often be used to help reduce negative side effects of medication or medical treatment.

Reiki works very well on stress-related conditions such as migraines, sleeping disorders, anxiety and high-blood pressure. It can help ease muscle-tension, fatigue and pain, and boost energy levels.

Emotional problems such as anger, grief, anxiety, depression and fear respond very well to Reiki, as do compulsive and addictive behaviour patterns. Because of this, Reiki may be very helpful in cases of drug or alcohol dependency.   

Reiki supports the body's natural healing processes and so helps speed up recovery from an accident, operation or traumatic experience.

Acute pain can be relieved very quickly by Reiki. Chronic, more deep-seated conditions may also respond well, but tend to need more treatments to get to the root of the problem.

Sometimes there may not be enough time to reverse the progress of the disease. in such cases, however, Reiki can help to enhance the quality of the time left, and bring peace and acceptance at the end of a person's life.

Reiki is wonderful for pregnant women. It can ease physical and emotional tension and help the mother feel more connected and in touch with her baby. Unborn babies seem to love Reiki too, and will even follow the practitioner's hands around as the mother is being treated! After birth, Reiki can help babies sleep better, as well as assist with conditions such as colic. For the mother, Reiki is also extremely relaxing and can help with tiredness and post-partum depression. 

Children usually love Reiki and often respond very quickly to it. Treatments tend to be shorter than for an adult.

Animals respond just as well to Reiki as people; and Reiki treatments may be claimed on certain pet health insurance schemes!
