What is Reiki
Generally in the west, Reiki is practiced and seen as a complimentary or spiritual healing therapy. Reiki practitioners give treatments to clients by the laying of hands on or near the body, while channeling a form of spiritually guided, life-force energy.
What Reiki is not, is religious, it is not attached to any religion or belief system, neither is it discriminatory in any way. It is easily and really accessible and acceptable to everyone, from any background, any belief, or none, it is natural and neutral.
History
Reiki was developed in Japan over 100 years ago by a man named Mikao Usui. It was actually developed as a path for spiritual growth, a way to enlightenment. Hands on healing was just a part of the whole system that he developed.
Students would spend many months learning each level of the system for personal growth and would only advance once they had demonstrated sufficient skills and knowledge. Today Reiki is practiced world wide and is gaining popularity and recognition of its many wonderful benefits.
What it does
Reiki has been shown to very beneficial in; inducing deep relaxation, which itself brings calmness and serenity, relieving pain and or stress, bringing inner peace and harmony and helping with a whole host of health or medical conditions.
It can and does work on all levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and all this is done naturally by the body itself. However, Reiki is highly personal and works for the greater and higher good of the individual at the time, so it is impossible to guarantee any desired results.
How I can help
As a qualified Reiki Master / Teacher with direct lineage back to Mikao Usui, I offer both Reiki treatments and lessons. Full body treatments usually last up to an hour and are available most days.
Having a Reiki treatment is a simple, pleasant and relaxing experience. You remain fully clothed while you lie on a couch or sit in a chair and just relax, that's it. I will then gently place my hands non-intrusively, on or near your body. There is no massage or manipulation.
Alternatively if you are interested in learning Reiki yourself then I run courses for all three levels of Reiki up to Reiki Master/Teacher. Contact me for details.
