What is it?

Reiki is a gentle but effective hands-on healing technique that works on the body on a number of levels; - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

In eastern medicine the concept upon which this is based is more familiar. Reiki is usually translated from Japanese as `Universal Life Energy`. In quantum physics we know that the basic building block for everything in the universe is energy. In Reiki the practitioner acts as a channel for healing energy to flow through the body clearing congestions or blockages in the energy flow through the body. This stimulates the body`s own healing mechanisms thus creating an environment for the body to return to health.

The Background

This healing technique was rediscovered at the end of the nineteenth century by Dr Mikao Usui and has since spread around the world, practiced by thousands of therapists.

What happens in a Reiki session?

You will have the opportunity to discuss any problems that are concerning you should you so wish. You will then be asked to lie fully clothed on a couch and made comfortable with pillows and relaxing music.

I will then place my hands over your head and body in a number of positions whilst you relax. Many people find they fall asleep, awaking with a feeling of deep relaxation and wellbeing.

You will generally find that the body will heal itself in its own order. Usually recent problems heal more quickly and problems which have been established for some time take longer. It advisable to have a short course of treatments as the healing energy can increase as your body becomes more attuned to it. A course of 3 to 4 sessions at weekly intervals is usually recommended.

Aftercare advice

Most people report a feeling of relaxation and increased wellbeing. You may feel energised straight away. Some people may feel slightly fatigued for a short time in the following hours. This is a normal, as the body rebalances itself. Should this occur you should rest for a short time to allow your body to carry on the healing process. For this reason it is wise not to plan any strenuous exercise for 24 hours after a treatment.

Drink plenty of water to aid the body`s detoxification process after the treatment.

Make note of any changes to discuss at your next session.
