Reiki
What is Reiki?Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low we are more likely to get sick and feel stress and if high we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
When broken down the word reiki means REI- is universal, Transcendental spirit, mysterious power, essence KI- is described as the vital life force energy, very similar to chi in Chinese acupuncture or the light to Christians A reiki practitioner is trained only to focus on the wellbeing of the client, reiki cannot harm you and you can never have too much. Reiki aims to improve health and enhance the quality of life. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. Reiki will improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism. |
What to expect during a Reiki treatmentDuring a Reiki treatment, the patient usually lies fully clothed on a padded table in a warm, comfortable room. A thorough session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. For stress reduction one to two sessions are satisfactory, however for chronic conditions long-term treatment may be recommended. Due to its gentle nature, many people fall asleep during this soothing experience of healing. Reiki energy flows though people in different ways but will always go where it is needed most weather that is you physical body, your emotions i.e. Depression insomnia etc., or your spirit. Some people have described it to me as warmth or tingling in the effected parts of their physical body or a feeling of wellbeing that they haven’t had for a long time. The first treatment has a detoxing effect on some and others don't feel much at all, it really does depend on what the individual is needing. |
