What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. It is the name given to the most ancient form of natural hands-on healing discovered by Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist in the early 20th century.
The Usui system is a gentle, safe and simple method that promotes healing and harmony on all levels: Physical, Spiritual, Emotional and Mental. It is a completely relaxing therapy, which can be used to enhance and improve your quality of life (on both a physical and emotional level) as Reiki enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
It is a technique that allows the therapist to transmit healing energy from his/her hands to others in order to balance the bodies energy centres, known as chakras, and energy channels flowing through the body, called meridians. The therapist encourages the energy to flow through the chakras and meridians running the length of your body from the crown of your head to the base of your spine, breaking down any blockages and bringing you into balance on all levels.
The intention, as with all the therapies I offer, is to harmonise your energy system, putting your body in the best possible position to heal itself. It's a great therapy for all sorts of ailments but is especially good for stress and emotional issues.
Reiki is not attached to any religion or belief system and works in conjunction with, and as a complement to, traditional medical treatment and all other therapies.
