What is Reiki?

An ancient Japanese healing technique based on energy transference and transmission.

This act of healing is transmitted through the warm healing energy of the healers handsand is a light-touch, or no-touch technique for channeling energy through the body to promote deep relaxation, enabling healing.

The act of laying hands on the body to comfort and relieve pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it to make it better. Human touch conveys warmth and healing. This simple act of touch is the basis for Reiki.

Why Reiki?

Reiki brings about deep relaxation, stimulates the body's metabolism, shortens healing time from injuries and operations, reduces the negative side effects of medication, decreases pain and anxiety and increases energy.

Reiki treats the whole person, body, mind, emotions and spirit and is a simple, natural and safe method of physical and spiritual healing and self-improvement.

What does it mean?

The term Reiki means universal life energy. Everyone has this ‘life force energy’, but sometimes it becomes low and can lead to sickness or stress. Reiki enables the energy channels to be reopened for the vital life force energy to flow, so that natural healing forces may act.

Whilst spiritual in nature, Reiki is NOT a religion or affiliated with any religion. This life force energy is the source of life itself and far older in concept and fact than any religious philosophy.

How Does It Work?

Reiki is transmitted through the hands of the healer, and the strength of energy depends on the receiver's needs.

It is received through a series of light hand placements rested gently in specific positions either on or above the client’s clothed body, without manipulation of any sort. At each position energy is transmitted to the recipient.

Reiki positions balance the left and right hemisphere of the brain and balance all thechakras and the energy field. They clear and increase the human body’s flow of the universal life force, Chi, that causes us to be alive.

Reiki heals the whole person

When healing a specific area of pain, Reiki may also heal other organs and other levels, even though the healer’s hands are only on the person’s specific pain area. If the person receiving the healing also has other diseases or allergies, Reiki will act there too, whether it has been mentioned to the healer or not.

Healing the Source

People are more than just physical "Beings”. The SOURCE of any physical disease is probably more than physical, and the non-physical causes must be healed to heal the body pain. Most metaphysical healers believe that all physical pain has NON-physical roots in emotional trauma, negative mental patterns or spiritual despair. To heal these diseases these roots may be discovered and treated through Reiki. Healing cannot be physical alone, but must include the vibrational energy bodies that Reiki can provide.

Taking the example of a headache, taking an aspirin may relieve the head pain but it does nothing to heal the source. Reiki deals not only with the evident pain, but with the cause of the pain. With an aspirin the headache is likely to return after 3 hours; with Reiki the headache is permanently gone.

This is especially true for more serious diseases.

How can Reiki help you?

A Reiki session can induce a deep feeling of relaxation which in itself can have multiple benefits to a person’s overall health, reducing the negative effects that day to day stress can bring.

Reiki can be used alone or in conjunction with medical treatment. It will not interfere with medications or other procedures other than to make them more effective and the patient more comfortable.

Reiki is totally positive and can never cause harm to any living thing, whatever his or her condition or status. It is valid for use on anyone, no matter how young, old or frail. If anyone is ill, in pain or in emotional distress, Reiki helps.

Reiki can help a broken bone heal more rapidly but it is best to wait until after the bone is set to do healing directly over the break.

Reiki can be used in conditions such as cancer, where massage would be inappropriate or even dangerous. For an acute, self-limiting disease (like the flu, colds, headache or sprained ankle) one Reiki healing session may be enough to help. When conditions are serious or chronic, however, more sessions may be required.

Reiki may be compared with charging a battery; if a person is in relatively good health they may only need a little charging. If they are more seriously ill, they may need a lot.

Reiki can change the recipients’ perspective on life, increasing their spirituality, and it can be particularly calming to terminally ill patients.

Through Reiki you will experience the blessing of spiritual growth and change.
