What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle but powerful healing modality which originated in Japan.

Usually deeply relaxing, reiki helps soothe away the stresses of everyday life.

Reiki works on the principle that we all have life force energy and when this flows freely we feel well.

When it gets blocked or stagnated we suffer pain or feel ill. Reiki aims to help keep the life force energy or ‘chi’ flowing easily. 

The Reiki practitioner channels energy from ‘Source’ or ‘all that is’ This energy is a gentle, loving, energy. It feels like the warm feeling that you get when you hurt yourself and instinctively put your hand on the injured part. Soothing, nurturing and warm.

It is useful for balancing body, mind and spirit and is suitable for the shyest of clients as no clothes need to be removed other than your shoes or boots.

Who is Reiki suitable for?

Reiki is safe and suitable for just about everyone. Including during pregnancy and also for people living with long term medical conditions, including palliative care.

It can also be sent to animals, plants, people, places, situations, countries, groups etc.

Healing past traumas and situations

Reiki can be sent to the past to help heal the way we respond and feel about things that have already happened and can be sent to the future.

Whilst it cannot change anything that has happened nor make anything happen the way we would like it to happen, it can help to heal the way we feel about it. Reiki always aims to work for your highest good. 

If you have had a traumatic relationship or an unhappy childhood we can send Reiki to that time to help it heal. 

What happens during a Reiki Treatment?

After the consultation I’ll invite you to take your shoes/boots off and to lie down on the couch. I’ll tuck you up under a blanket if you would like (it’s optional, some people like it for the comfort and warmth)

I’ll then connect with the Reiki energy and place my hands on or over your shoulders.

I will then work my way down the body holding my hands on or over set positions (Usually shoulders, head, over throat and heart chakras, then holding on arms, legs, knees, finishing with the feet) 

Once I have finished I will give a little ding to my tingsha bells (or my singing bowl) or give your feet a gentle squeeze. Once I’m done you can relax for a few minutes whilst you ‘come back into the room’ and then you can have a glass of water. 

Reiki usually feels deeply relaxing and you might fall asleep. During the treatment you will probably feel warmth or heat coming from my hands, this is very normal.

Equally, some people may not feel anything during the treatment, don’t worry if this is the case, the Reiki will work its magic anyway!

Reiki Aftercare Advice

I’ll then advise you to take some time for yourself for the rest of the day and to drink plenty of water along with the other aftercare advice)
