Reiki

What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) means "Universal Life Energy" or simply "Life Energy."

Reiki is a healing technique used to reduce stress and bring about relaxation.
It is a source of ‘life force’ that is available to everybody and can be tapped into at any time.  This life force energy is believed to flow unseen through all living things. It flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life force departs.
When this flow of life force is restricted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.  If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, you will be more vulnerable to illness. When it is high, and flowing freely, you are likely to have abundant energy and be able to resist infections and illness.

Is Reiki Safe?
Reiki is 100% safe. The practitioner merely provides the channel through which the energy travels, and your own body puts it to use. Reiki can be used on everybody from babies to the elderly and even animals!

What happens during a Reiki Treatment?
The intention of Reiki is to heal the whole person and having a Reiki treatment is usually deeply relaxing and beneficial for many people. Many say that they feel a warm glow when they are receiving a treatment or they may feel sensations of hot, cold or tingling in various parts of their body, some may ‘see’ colours as they relax. Others may feel nothing during a treatment but say they still benefit after from Reiki therapy.
During the treatment you will be asked to lie comfortably on the treatment table. You will not need to remove any clothing. The Reiki therapist will move around your body in a set pattern, feeling for energy blockages. They may place their hands directly on you or they may move their hands above, below or around you. Treatment usually lasts up to an hour. Most people feel very calm and deeply relaxed after Reiki and it can help with all manner of problems. Reiki energy will pass through the practitioner’s hands to your body and flow to where it is needed.
Reiki is not a religion and you do not have to follow any particular faith or even believe in Reiki itself to benefit from a treatment - it is not 'faith healing'.

Reiki Attunements
Reiki is passed from teacher to student through a series of Attunements, or energetic empowerments.
Anybody can learn to be a healer and you do not need to have any previous qualifications or experience in order to receive the Reiki Attunements.
Students also learn techniques to direct the energies for particular purposes such as physical, emotional or distant healing.
