Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki (RAY KEY) is a Japanese form of spiritual healing which can ease stress, clear the mind and restore clarity, relieve physical ailments and provide comfort and peace in times of trouble. It is incredibly versatile as healing energy can be transferred through the hands and applied to heal yourself as well as others and even your pets and plants!

The term comes from the words rei, meaning universal and ki, the Japanese for qi, the life force that is inherent in everything. When this life force is flowing freely, we are healthy and happy, when it is low we are far more susceptible to both physical illness and emotional stress. In Reiki Therapy, this universal energy is activated by the practitioner and passed on to the recipient where it both replenishes areas that have been depleted of energy and stimulates the body's own natural ability to heal itself.

What does a Reiki treatment feel like?
Receiving Reiki is a very simple process, but usually produces quite profound effects. The session begins by lying down on a treatment couch, or sitting in a chair, fully clothed, closing your eyes and listening to gentle, soothing music, which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. Then the Reiki practitioner will gently rest their hands upon you, non-intrusively, in a series of positions from the crown of the head to the feet.

Each hand position is held for a few minutes, and during this time healing energy will flow into you, balancing your energy system, releasing stress, soothing pain, and promoting your body's natural ability to heal itself. As the energy flows, most people will feel warmth, or heat, or tingling from the Practitioner's hands. It is usually a very relaxing experience: some people fall asleep.
Other sensations may include seeing coloured lights or feeling as if you are floating. Sometimes people have an emotional release, as emotional turmoil is brought to the surface and dissipated.
A full treatment will usually last about 50 minutes to an hour.
Reiki can also be practised through absent healing by visualising the transfer of energy.

Reiki can help a number of ailments including:
· Fatigue and anxiety
· Back pain
· Arthritis
· High Blood Pressure
· Eczema

While Reiki is very effective, it is not a miracle cure, and the effects of Reiki treatments build up cumulatively.
