Reiki is often translated as “Universal Life Energy”.

Reiki is not attached to any religion or belief system, it was first used by the Buddhist Monks in Tibet over two thousand years ago and was re-discovered in the last 1800’s by Theologist Dr.Mikao Usui.

All healers use life force or Ki, but not all use Reiki because this is a special kind of energy that can only be channelled by someone that has been attuned to it.

Reiki heals at all levels Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spititual.

Reiki energy has many benefits which restore the natural balance of the body to create its own healing.

Reiki is a gentle, but powerful healing energy. In its history of use it has complemented the healing of illness, imbalance, disease, discomfort, facilitating the healing process.

Reiki can be used either as Passive or an Active form of healing.

Passive Healing

The Reiki practitioner acts purely as a channel for the energy. The idea is to allow the body to heal itself slowly and the balance of the body ver a period of time. Passive healing does not treat specific conditions. If you just like to relax then passive healing is great, but it is not using Reiki to its full potential.

Active Healing

The Reiki Practitioner uses intention and visualisation to direct the energy to the condition being treated. This method I use and the method I teach on my courses. It allows me to treat conditions more effectively as I deal with the immediate issues, whether they are emotional or physical. I work on the other issues once those of immediate importance are dealt with.

Below is a list of some of the ailments that can be treated by Reiki, however it can be used to treat ailments no matter how difficult some may seem. The resuly may not always be what is wanted, but it is always what is needed.

Reiki Treatments

The recipient lays down on a couch fully clothed, and relaxes by listening to some peaceful music. Treatments can also be carried out with the person sitting in a chair, if it is difficult or uncomfortable for them to lie down. I will gently place my hands on or slightly off the body, in a series of hand positions along the body, commencing from the crown of the head to the feet, and begin to channel Reiki energy.

As the energy flows some recipients feel heat, cold or a tingling sensation. Other sensations may include:

Memory flashes

Colours or lights

Muscle twitches

Falling asleep

A sense of floating, or

Nothing at all!!!!!!

The first treatment lasts for an hour and a half. I will initially take a brief outline of your medical history (all records are kept in strict confidence), this is in order for the treatment to be suited to your needs. Subsequent treatments last for approximately one hour.

Four to six treatments are usually recommended to gain the full benefits of Reiki.
