Reiki is not a religion and can be experienced by people of all religions and ethnic backgrounds.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. This form of hands-on-healing is based on an ancient art of 'healing by touch'. this healing art had become forgotton until re-discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the late 1800's.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki energy is channelled through the Practitioner and into the Recipient, this energy has consciousness and awareness, "it knows what is needed". The energy works on the Mind, the Body and the Spirit. Reiki energy goes to the deepest levels of a person's being from where many illnesses originate.

Reiki is a Gentle, Safe, Natural and Holistic way of treating disease and it will complement and increase the effectiveness of other forms of medication and treatment.

During a Reiki treatment a pleasant feeling of warmth may occur along with the sensation of deep relaxation, in many cases the recipient will fall asleep.

Reiki is used to treat many ailments including Stress, Anxiety, P.M.T. Menopausal Problems, Migraine, M.E., Back and Neck Pain, Arthritis, Insomnia, Tension, Depression, Asthma and provide relief from some Chronic Ailments

The Reiki Treatment

The Reiki treatment involves the recipient lying or in some cases sitting, fully clothed ideally in lightweight clothing.

The practitioner places their hands gently in a specific sequence of positions around the recipient's body, these positions relate to the Chakras and Meridians through which the life force energy flows nourishing the cells and organs of the physical body. 

The Reiki Practitioner does not heal the recipient, the Practitioner channels the energy into recipient to allow the recipient's own body to heal itself.

Reiki also opens the Mind and Spirit to the underlying causes of a disease or pain.  This awareness enables the recipient to gain an insight into their problems and assists in making the necessary changes to their attitude and/or lifestyle so that the recipient's health and happiness can improve.

During the Reiki treatment the recipient may experience heat from the practitioners hands, this is quite normal and is caused by the flow of energy from the practitioner into the recipient.

A Reiki treatment should leave the recipient feeling Calm, Energized and Relaxed, however the full impact of a treatment may not be felt for several hours following the treatment.
