Reiki

REIKI Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us.Reiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d. 1926). Fired by a burning question, Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student. There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed. The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is a very simple process. The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes. If they are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main thing is for the recipient to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even plaster casts. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes around one hour with each position held for several minutes.The first session will take a little longer because the practitioner will take a full consultation. Reiki sessions can be undertaken on their own but we usually recommend a course of four sessions.Look at our Reiki Reviver for our special offer Donna, our Reiki therapist is trained to Second Degree in Usui Reiki.
