What is Reiki?
Reiki is effective at clearing blockages from the body's energy system and works in harmony with the innate ability of the body to heal and balance itself.
Reiki is spiritually guided by the Higher Power/Higher Self energies and has been proven to be effective at helping with any physical, emotional, or mental issues that one may be working through. It tends to work from the outside in, addressing disturbances in the subtle energy bodies and moving into the physical body over the course of a few days. Reiki restores order and balance to the energy body, calming the mind and stabilising the emotions.
As well as helping with deep rooted physical or emotional issues, Reiki is a wonderful method of relaxation and provides effective stress relief. Those who regularly use Reiki find it an invaluable healing energy at times of emotional turmoil, stress or change, bringing insight and clarity of mind, helping to let go of the past.
It can help with a wide range of health problems and issues including anxiety, stress, bereavement, back pain, chronic fatigue, co-dependent relationships, depression, infertility, fatigue, anxiety, feeling stuck, feeling run-down, high blood pressure, hyper-activity in children and other childhood complaints, hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, indigestion, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, M.E., M.S., ovarian cysts, post-natal depression, post-operative care, rashes and other skin conditions, self-esteem issues, sinusitis, stress, worry or just a need for a bit of TLC.
What to expect
The person coming for a treatment is asked to lie down on a massage bed whilst fully clothed and invited to close their eyes and relax. The practitioner will put their hands on the body, usually the head or shoulders, to tune into the client's energy field. 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. 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.
People have been known to see colours or hear voices or music, sometimes words softly spoken from their guides. There may be a need to laugh or cry as the emotional body releases stored patterns. However, no two treatments are ever the same and it is best to free the mind from expectations.
A brief history of Reiki
Thought to have originated thousands of years ago, Reiki was rediscovered by a Buddhist monk, Dr. Usui.
