reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy. The Reiki technique was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s.
A reiki session consists of very gentle light touches to channel universal life force energy also called Chi or prana into the body.
It is a safe, non invasive,effective modality that has shown to bring peace and relief for many people. Energy is transferred through clothing and without the use of oils like massage. People have reported feeling an easing of the symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, pain and grief and improved healing.
Reiki energy is believed to affect the bio magnetic fields of both practitioner and client. Channelling Reiki energy from a universal source means you are not using your own energy but drawing it in from outside yourself, thus having a positive effect on your own bio magnetic field and that of those you are treating during a Reiki session.
This biomagnetic energy field is said to be responsible for our health and well-being. When the energy field is unbalanced or disrupted, it can lead to illness or disease.
A reiki treatment allows each person to use the energy by giving them the power to balance their own body and let their system prioritise what needs to be healed.
It often brings the feeling of wholeness that inner peace can bring.
Receiving, learning & using this technique can connect you to source and open you to the beauty of the universe, increasing your sensitivity to energy movement and increasing your ability to trust your intuition.

When a Reiki practitioner places their hands on or near the recipient’s body, they are said to be channeling this universal life force energy. This energy is thought to flow through the recipient’s body, stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.
