Reiki, pronounced ‘ray-key’, is a system of energy healing founded by Mikaomi Usui in the early 20th century in Japan. Reiki translates to ‘universal life energy’. It is based on the belief that life energy flows through all living things. When this energy becomes disrupted or blocked stress and dis-ease follow.
Reiki is a technique for stress-reduction relaxation and release of energy blockages. The therapist is attuned to channel the subtle energy that flows through all living things, thus activating the natural healing processes of the recipient’s body to restore physical and emotional well-being. In a reiki session, the practitioner will hold their hands lightly on particular points of the body or a few inches away.
As deep relaxation is promoted tension and anxiety is released and a state of well-being and peace is experienced. Warmth and tingling sensations may be felt as the natural flow of energy is restored throughout the body.
Reiki can be received alone or integrated into any other of the treatments I offer. I have been practising Reiki for over 20 years and have attained the degree of Reiki Masters Teacher.
As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Mikao Usui
