Reiki is a simple hands-on technique of healing the body, mind and spirit. This system of healing evolved in Japan in the 19th century through the dedication and experience of Dr Mikao Usui.
Rei means 'universal' and ki (or chi) means 'life force energy. Thus Reiki is delivering life force energy to you. Reiki works to heal energy blockages within the body and so restore the body's physical, emotional or spiritual health.
A treatment is non-instrusive as the recipient is not required to remove their clothes and no pressure is applied to the body. A sequence of hand positions are used to cover the body in order to channel healing energy throughout the treatment.
Reiki is a simple, safe, yet powerful form of healing, suitable for everyone, including children and the elderly.
Acute conditions can be healed quickly whilst chronic conditions may take a little longer. Reiki can be used for terminal illnesses to provide a sense of calm and acceptance during the time remaining.
After a treatment, many people feel a sense of peace, making Reiki a wonderful treatment for stress and anxiety.
