What is Reiki?

Reiki is universal healing achieving balance through relaxation and finding inner peace. Reiki can help to ease physical ailments such as aches and pains, it can help the emotions by promoting personal development, as well as helping to bring peace, harmony and calmness of mind.

Reiki is a form of energy healing which dates back to the 19th Century by Dr Mikao Usui, dean of a small Christian University in Kyoto, Japan.

Reiki the word translates as "Universal Life Force Energy", Ki being the Japanese spelling of Chi (energy) the power that acts and lives in small matter. Reiki therapists draw this energy around them and channel it through their hands to the person who needs healing by placing their hands above chakra centres, or energy centres, it can be transferred to the body of the client.

Reiki has its own innate intelligence so that it can find its own way to where it is needed in the body. Reiki healers treat the whole person removing any blockages of negative energy.

Reiki healing is probably one of the most least understood of the alternative therapies, involving as it does an intangible power which encourages the body to heal itself. There is nothing mystical or magical about the process, it is a gift which allows laying of hands on the client transferring a power that stimulates the client's own body to heal itself.

A Reiki treatment takes approximately one hour and is £25 per session.
