Reiki - Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy (Rei is Universal and Ki is Life Energy).  As a treatment the client does not have to believe in Reiki to gain benefit from it nor is it based on a religion, just an open mind can help.

How does it work? - The Reiki therapist channels the Life Energy, through his/her hands, in to the client's body, thereby enhancing the body's own natural ability to help itself.  Reiki works on all levels of a person's being.

What is a Treatment? - Reiki is a simple and powerful process. Treatments and frequency are individually tailored to a person's needs. The treatment lasts for approximately an hour and is carried out with the client fully clothed lying on a couch.  The Reiki therapist goes through a set format placing their hands on or above specific areas of the body, passing the Reiki to the client.  I always go through a consultation on the first appointment to ensure that both my client and I can build a safe, confidential and trusting relationship but more importantly if there are any medical conditions then I am able to request that the client discuss with their doctor/ specialist if he/she will agree for Reiki treatments to proceed.  Trust and confidentiality is of the utmost importance.

The Experience - The client may feel a sensation of warmth, coldness, tingling or pulsing in the area being treated. As the treatment progresses stress can be released and a feeling of well being is usually experienced.  As the Reiki sessions progress, any low level of energy can begin to improve and the client can begin to feel more positive.  When our energy flows correctly it is much easier to take up the task of living life as we would desire.

What Is Reiki Good For? - In the hurried lives we sometimes lead, we so often forget to stop and think about ourselves. The more we rush and make demands on ourselves the more difficult our lives become.  As a result we are less able to cope with everyday happenings and events.  Reiki is especially good for stress, depression, anxiety, pain and of course just to feel pampered.  It can help by generating a feeling of calm, relaxation, peace and contentment within the recipient.

I have been asked on many occasions can I take away a persons illness and my answer is no, but I can walk beside you.  Reiki is not a miracle cure, and there is no guarantee that it will change anything, but it seems to help recipients to work in a more positive and energised frame of mind, sometimes reducing physical pain and helping a person to work towards helping themselves mentally and physically.
