Reiki
What is Reiki?
pronounced (Ray-Kee)
Meaning “universal life force energy” it is a gentle, non-evasive yet immensely powerful energy healing technique originating from Japan. Developed just over a hundred years ago by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. Reiki has now started to become extremely popular in the western world, with both private and public health authorities (including the NHS) recognising this method.
Many now have chosen to use Reiki along with other holistic therapies as alternatives to traditional methods. Reiki heals on all levels; the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, it does this by supporting the body`s ability to heal itself.
Reiki is NOT linked to any religion or culture and is therefore, accessible to all.
Over time science has proven that everything is energy, your body, a tree, your table even sound.
Our senses don’t detect the energetic movement of things because they vibrate slowly and at a low frequency, but they are still made up of energy. The energy we carry around can be detected and sometimes blocks are found in our energy that can be realigned using Reiki and unblocking Chakras.
The benefits of Reiki
I will always deliver Reiki with good intention, allowing the energy to find where it needs to be. When you, the recipient is open to receive the energy and let it heal for the intention of good the results can be amazing.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of some of the benefits of reiki from my experience and from other practitioners and teachers.
- Relief of physical pain and discomfort.
- Release of blocked energy and blocked emotions.
- Live a calmer existence.
- Emotional healing to better manage life`s ups and downs.
- Physical healing, to rid the body of toxins, aiding the immune system.
- Become more present and enjoy life more.
- Open up to your own self-healing power.
- Relax and reduce stress.
- Lower blood pressure.
What you can expect from a Reiki session
Firstly, a short consultation will be done, collecting personal details and any medical history you feel needs to be disclosed. We can also discuss ailments you wish to address during the session although no promises or guarantees can be made on the outcome as the energy will flow to where it feels appropriate being channelled with the highest of good intent. I have been attuned by a Reiki Master to channel Reiki.
Typically, a reiki session is delivered laying down on a massage table, but this is not essential if laying flat for a length of time is uncomfortable for you.
You will remain fully clothed but if you wish can remove your shoes for comfort. I will use a combination of hands on, gentle touch and hands off (hovering) to deliver the flow of Reiki energy.
Everybody`s experience of Reiki is unique, there`s no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. You may experience heat or vibration, buzzing from my hands. You might see colours, lights, words. And/or images. You might get intuitive hits, inspiration, and creative ideas. You might have an emotional release and a few tears either at the time or a few days after your session. You may fall asleep or feel more relaxed than you have ever experienced.
The benefit of taking some time out of your busy schedule just for you is so important. Self care really can make life so much more enjoyable.
You cant pour from an empty cup and everyone has the right to be happy so why not try something different and give Reiki a go.
