What is Reiki Healing?

Reiki is a gentle, intuitive energy practice that supports relaxation, emotional balance and overall wellbeing.

About Reiki

As per the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council:

"Reiki" (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, a term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal. This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. It is a tradition that is open to any belief system and benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of wellbeing.

The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body using their intuition and training as a guide. There is no massage or manipulation. Reiki can be used on the person as a whole, or on specific parts of the body. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance.

Reiki is taught by Reiki Master/Teachers, who have trained in the tradition passed on, in person, from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation/attunement to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a personal and emotional perspective, but also as an aid to individual development and spiritual growth.

The Cancer Research UK website includes details of why people with cancer use Reiki alongside their medical treatment. This does not mean Reiki is a treatment for cancer.

How does Reiki work?

Reiki balances the body’s Chakras (Energy Centres), supporting relaxation and healing by removing blocks to this flow of energy in the body. This helps bring both mind and body back into balance.

The session is carried out whilst fully clothed and is safe for people of all ages; including pregnant mothers, new-borns, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly. It supports physical and emotional wellbeing; promoting positive mental health and wellness.

Reiki works holistically (meaning whole body, mind & spirit) and is an incredibly relaxing experience. As Reiki is complementary; it works effectively alongside other healthcare, treatment and natural remedies.

The Reiki Practitioner’s hands are placed on, or just above the body, in a gentle and non-invasive way. Each session is unique based on each individual.

What happens in a Reiki session?

If you are new to Reiki, sessions are deeply relaxing and require nothing from you other than to rest comfortably and receive. Many people experience a sense of calm, emotional release or renewed clarity following a session.

Each session is intuitive and tailored to your needs, offering a safe and supportive space for healing and reconnection.

If you feel drawn to experience Reiki for yourself, you are warmly welcome to BOOK a session.
