What is Reiki?

Reiki originated in Japan, "Rei" means ''universal' and "Ki" means 'vital life force energy'. When it is flowing correctly it nourishes, stimulates, balances & harmonises, however blockages can lead to imbalance which can result in mental, physical, spiritual and emotional dis-ease.

A Reiki practitioner is attuned to this life force energy and channels it to a person to promote healing and well being, restoring balance on all levels. It is a gentle, non-invasive and very relaxing process, that is practised worldwide for people of all ages and conditions.

Reiki can be used to aid a vast array of physical and emotional dis-eases such as Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Sinusitis, Neuralgia, Menstrual/Menopausal issues, Headaches, Migraines, Asthma, Eczema, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Insomnia, Sciatica, Pain & many more.

Reiki is of benefit to healthy people also, who wish to maintain a state of optimal health and well being.

What to expect from a Reiki session

The Reiki treatment will last approximately 1 hour. You will lay on a treatment bed fully clothed with a blanket over you to remain warm and comfortable throughout the session.

I will ask if you prefer to receive Reiki hands 'on' or 'off' (Reiki is is just as effective without placing hands directly on your body). Throughout the session I will place my hands on various positions on your body, corresponding with energy chakras and any problematic areas.

A selection of crystals may be placed on and around the body during to enhance healing and help to balance the body's natural energy centres/chakras.

During the session you may experience certain sensations such as cold, heat, tingling, twitching, yawning, visions, seeing colours, laughing or crying. You may even fall asleep, as the body and mind is so relaxed, this is quite common indicating deep healing and repair.
