WHAT IS REIKI ENERGY HEALING?

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, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words:

REI – (pronounced “Ray”) means “Universal” “Gods Wisdom or Higher Power” and 

KI – (‘Key”) means “energy or life force”

“Reiki is: spiritually guided life force energy”.

Universal Life Force Energy – Flows through all living things

The practice of Reiki or the healing art of Reiki is the channelling of this energy to promote spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being. 

Reiki, Usui Reiki, is a healing system that taps into universal energy. That is, the energy that is all around us. Reiki is a system of energy healing that offers therapy through balance and alignment of your body's chakras in order to restore energy, peace and harmony. Reiki has its origins in Japan, but it is now a widespread form of energy healing found throughout most of the world. It is a calming and beautiful form of healing treatment for those people who are seeking relaxation and release from stress, tension and anxiety. Reiki is also perfect when used as a complementary therapy to assist with any emotional or physical ailments and traumas that may be unnecessarily stored in your body.

Reiki healing energizes and heals the body, reduces stress and works in conjunction with other healthcare and medical treatments.

Reiki is suitable for people of all genders, ages, nationalities and backgrounds.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A REIKI HEALING TREATMENT?

A reiki energy healing treatment is a beautiful and pleasant experience.

a reiki session will involve:

· You will be asked to lay on a Reiki table or sit in a chair.

· The practitioner places their hands on or just above your body in sequences of positions in order to align and rebalance your energy and chakras.

. Unlike massage, a reiki session does not involve any form of physical manipulation.

· You do not need to remove any clothing and no private parts of your body are touched. 

- Each individual’s experience of a session is unique, and often times profound.

· During a session, you may feel warmth or cold, a tingling sensation, slight twitching or a rumbling tummy. 

Sometimes you may feel light headed, you may feel different sensations in different parts of your body, you may feel buzzing, pulsing, tingles, prickles, fall asleep or feel absolutely nothing. 

· A complete Reiki session can last from 45 to 90 minutes. There is no “typical” experience of Reiki, therefore the only way to describe it, is to experience it.

Many clients look forward to their next Reiki session. 

It is not uncommon for a client to present with an ache or pain and leave with none or very little. 

It is not uncommon for a client to say they had seen bright colours or specific images. 

Reiki healing is calming and relaxing, but never assume that each session will present the same outcome for you or that your experience will be the same as another person.

General caution for reiki

Reiki is not a treatment for illness or disease. Reiki is a complementary therapy in that it works alongside other medical and therapeutic techniques. Some reiki practitioners claim they can heal serious diseases, such as cancer. This may prompt a person with cancer to abandon medically proven treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Always be guided by your doctor or specialist. Be very wary of any reiki practitioner who advises you to abandon your conventional medical treatment.

NB: Do not stop any medical treatments on the advice of your reiki practitioner.
