Frequently Asked Questions
Reiki
Q. What is Reiki?
A. Reiki is Japanese for "universal life energy", a term used to describe many systems of natural healing.
Q. How can Reiki help?
A. There are many variations of Reiki, but in essence it is a healing process that works at bringing us into balance and reinforces the body's natural ability to heal itself at all levels, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It is a system that is open to any belief system.
Q. What happens during a typical Reiki treatment?
A. The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body. Either immediately or soon after, Reiki will begin to flow through the practitioner's hands into and around the client's physical body and energy body. There is no massage or manipulation.
Q. What does Reiki feel like?
A. Usually people experience Reiki as a soothing heat coming through the practitioner's hands, along with a tingling sensation as energy travels along the meridian pathways. Often a deep sense of peace and relaxation prevails during and after a treatment.
Q. Do I still need to see my doctor?
A. Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not offer any diagnosis or prognosis. If people are concerned about their symptoms they should also consult their GP.
Q. Are there any side-effects?
A. Most people feel relaxed and at peace afterward a session. However, a treatment could bring emotions to the surface or lead to a temporary healing reaction, such as headaches or flu-like symptoms as balance is restored.
Q. Can anyone receive Reiki?
A. Yes, but if the person is under 18, they need the consent of a guardian or parent.
Q. How can I learn Reiki?
A. Reiki is taught by Reiki Masters, who have trained in the tradition passed on in person from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation, called an attunement, to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a healing perspective, but also as an aid to personal development and spiritual growth.
Spiritual Response Therapy
Q. What is Spiritual Response Therapy?
A. Spiritual Response Therapy, often known by its abbreviated acronym SRT, uses a system of charts and a series of specific questions to research past life energies, subconscious blocks, and negative soul programming.
Q. How does SRT work?
A. An SRT Practitioner uses a pendulum and works with their High Self to access the Akashic Records and clear any discordant energies or programmes from the soul record, past or future.
Q. What happens during an SRT session?
A. SRT can be carried out in person or remotely. If the client is present, they are usually seated opposite the practitioner. The client is able to ask questions and bring up information relevant to the research being done. The client may wish to look at certain aspects of their life that are bothering them, as well as physical pains or problems, and the practitioner will use the charts to address the root cause of the problem. If the work is done remotely, the client can ask their questions over the telephone.
Q. What is the purpose of SRT?
A. The subconscious mind has no judgement. It records and replays negative thoughts, experiences and emotions as well as our positive ones. If there is a conflict or disagreement between the conscious desires held in the mind and the subconscious programming, the subconscious often wins. SRT empowers you to break cycles of disharmony and empowers you to fulfil your true purpose by assuring that no adverse beliefs are in the subconscious mind that can block or cancel out the good you are trying to experience. This is the purpose of Spiritual Response Therapy.
Q. Can a specific issue can be addressed without doing a full clearing?
A. Yes, this can be done. However, for clients having a first-time clearing through SRT, it is much more effective and responsible for a SRT Practitioner to perform a full clearing to ensure a complete healing can take place.
Q. What happens after a clearing?
A. When the programmes are cleared, the negative energy associated with the experience is dissolved, and only wisdom and knowledge gained from the experience remains. Unless you build more of the same negative energy patterns by heavy, negative emotions or repeated bad habits, the programmes cannot rebuild.
Q. Will I need another clearing in the future?
A. SRT can be used whenever the need arises. However, it is not the purpose of SRT to make the client dependent on the services of the practitioner. SRT is used to empower you to go out and live your life to the best of your abilities! You do not have to hang on to old, destructive energy patterns which aren't serving your highest good.
