What is it?

Pronounced "Ray-Key", it literally means "vital life force energy guided by universal wisdom."

The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is directly connected to the state of health has been part of many cultures for thousands of years. The existence of this "ki" has been verified recently and its role in the functioning of the immune system and healing process is now being investigated.

Reiki is a simple, gentle therapy which can be used to reduce stress and aid relaxation. The energy is transmitted through the hands of the therapist to the recipient.

Reiki originated in Tibet in ancient times, was lost for many years and was rediscovered by a Buddhist monk in Japan in the 19th Century.

How does it work?

"Ki" is channelled to the recipient through the therapists hands, activating the natural ability of the body to heal itself. Reiki energy releases blocked energies, cleanses the body of toxins and creates a state of balance, working wherever the recipient needs it most. It penetrates to the deeper level of a persons being, where many ailments originate. It enhances the ability to take responsibility for life and make the necessary changes in lifestyle and attitude to promote a healthier, happier life. It works on a physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual level.

What will happen?

Reiki is a simple, safe and very powerful method of healing and personal development. Treatment is performed with the recipient lying down, fully clothed and lasts 1-1¼ hours. The therapist gently places the hands, with no pressure, in several positions over the whole body, holding each one for several minutes, allowing the energy to go right to the source of the imbalance, and not just to the presenting systems. Because it is gentle and non-intrusive, it is safe for anyone, elderly, very young, pregnant, frail or following surgery. Generally a pleasant feeling of warmth or gentle tingling is felt in the area being touched. The energy treats the whole person:~ body, mind, emotions and spirit, and as it comes into balance it releases tension and stress, creating a deep sense of relaxation and feeling of well-being, often resulting in sleep!
