What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing system, re-discovered 100 years ago by Mikao Usui.
Reiki can create a greater inner harmony and balance, regular Reiki treatments promote a calmer response to life’s challenges.
Reiki’s gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages, from new-born babies to the elderly. Reiki is also suitable for animals.
Reiki can enhance everyday living, and regular sessions may help to promote development of a healthier, more resourceful state of being.
What to expect during a Reiki treatment
During a treatment, the Reiki Practitioner places the hands on the client and lets the Reiki energy flow.
The client during the treatment is lying comfortably on a therapy couch, remains fully clothed.
The practitioner’s hands may be placed on the head, or on various positions near the Chakras along the torso, or on the legs and arms.
If the client prefers, the treatment can remain “hands-off” with the practitioner holding their hands about 10 cm above the client’s body.
The energy will flow wherever needed, and can significantly aid the body’s innate healing abilities.
In some cases, symptoms can increase for a short period when healing starts. This is known as a “healing crisis”.
Receiving a treatment is normally a deeply relaxing experience, balancing and harmonising body and mind, and giving comfort and peace.
Some clients experience a meditative state where they see colours or images or embark on an “inner spiritual journey”.
In some cases, clients experience that suppressed emotions or problems are released.
