Another form of energy healing, Reiki (meaning universal life force)  was first discovered in Japan by Dr Usui.  There are other forms of Reiki but the one I use is the traditional Usui Reiki.  It is a simple system of healing, which is carried out by placing hands on the recipient (who remains clothed) with the intent to channel Reiki. It is a safe, natural, hands on energy therapy, which promotes and accelerates the body’s ability to heal physical, emotional and mental ailments, by correcting imbalances in the body, mind and spirit which can lead to illness.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field, and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body, where negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In doing so Reiki clears and heals the energy pathways, therefore allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. This then brings healing and peace to the recipient.

By laying hands on the recipient’s body in order to link them to the energy of Reiki, you are healed on every level. As illness is only the physical expression of a lack of balance in every area, Reiki treats you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually in order to restore balance and health to your body.

During the first session we will talk about what has brought you to experience a Reiki treatment. I will then ask you to lie down on a healing table, in a room which is peaceful and relaxing. I will talk you through a relaxation meditation to help you get the most from the Reiki healing. I place my hands on the key areas of your body, starting with your head and neck and ending at your feet to ensure healing reaches every area of the body. You may experience a number of sensations during healing and more people report a feeling of heat, tingling or an emotional release.  After the session, I will gently bring you out of your relaxed state and we will have a discussion about what you experienced during the Reiki session. You will benefit most by having 4-6 Reiki treatments. More sessions may be required when treating longer term illness. Reiki is a safe and effective method of healing and can be used alongside other alternative therapies and traditional medicine.
