Reiki

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore physical, emotional and spiritual balance. Reiki literally means Universal Life Energy or life force. This energy is around and within all of us. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy. Known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. Acupuncture, T’ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person. If there is an imbalance or blockage of Ki in any individual it can result in poor health, either physical or emotional. Reiki therapy seeks to address this imbalance, thus bringing about good health, healing and a sense of well-being.

 Reiki can:

·Promote natural self-healing . balance the energies in the body

·Balance the organs and glands · Strengthen the immune system

·Treat symptoms and causes of illness · Relieve pain

·Clear toxins · Enhance personal awareness

·Relax and reduce stress ·Promote creativity

·Release blocked and suppressed feelings

·Aid meditation and positive thinking

A session is usually carried out with you lying down or sitting, in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing. I place my hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body. Your system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time. Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.

Although even one Reiki session can make a difference, it is usually more effective to have a course of regular treatments. This may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the needs of the individual. A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and reviewed as necessary. This will always be subject to your own preferences, and can be changed at any time according to progress.

Please note: Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that can be used without fear of any side-effects or overdose. It may be used with confidence alongside conventional medication or natural remedies because it acts in a complementary way. Reiki does not take the place of conventional medicine. Always consult a GP for an acute or infectious condition and problems of urgent concern.
