About Reiki
Reiki is a Universal Energy discovered and later taught by Dr Mikao Usui in the 1930's.
It is a holistic (hands-on) system for balancing, healing and harmonising body, mind, emotions and spirit and it also encourages personal and spiritual awareness and growth.
The Reiki Practitioner or Master is only channelling this "intelligent" energy so he/she can not influence the outcome; it depends on the receivers needs.
The session includes personal consultation to assess individual needs.
The treatment:
A Reiki treatment takes about an hour and is carried out with the client remaining fully clothed.
The treatment starts with the client lying on his or her back and the practitioner’s hands are placed gently on the body in specific places and will normally be kept still for a few minutes.
The responses:
Some clients experience feelings of heat or tingling as the Reiki flows through them, or certain parts of their body might feel cold, especially after the practitioner’s hands have moved away. Usually the client feels very relaxed and peaceful as the energy flows through their body, and many clients drift off to sleep and have to be gently roused when it is time to turn over to lie on their front for the rest of the treatment.
Reiki’s effects are not limited to the physical body but also affect the mind, emotions and spirit, healing, harmonising and balancing the whole, as in the following:
Physical:
Reiki supports and accelerates the body’s own natural ability to heal itself, helping to alleviate pain and relieve other symptoms while cleansing the body of poisons and toxins.
Mental:
Reiki flows into all levels of a person’s thinking processes, allowing them to let go of negative thoughts, concepts and attitudes, and to replace them with positivity, peace and serenity. This leads to a state of deep relaxation, with the consequent release of stress and tension.
Emotional:
Reiki flows into all levels of a person’s emotional energy – those of which they are aware, and those they keep hidden – to encourage them to examine their emotional responses to people and situations, allowing them to let go of negative emotions.
Spiritual:
Reiki flows into a person’s whole energy body, soul and spirit, to help them to accept and love their whole self.
It promotes the qualities of love, compassion, understanding and acceptance, and encourages a person on their personal path towards spiritual development.
Did you know...?
'Love yourself. Do not worry about the opinions of others. If you really need to and want to decline some offer or obligation, say so. If you fail to do so, anger will creep in. You will resent the commitment, and you will resent the person who obligated you. It is better to say no when you need to, and to say yes when you want to. Physical illness often follows when one is not able to decline unwanted commitments...'
