What is Reiki?Reiki is an entirely safe and natural form of gentle light touch hands on healing. It will re - energise the body, help with healing, and reduce stress.
On an emotional level it will restore spiritual balance and well being, bringing strength and peace.
Reiki is a Japanese word, pronounced Ray - Ki. It means Universal Life Force Energy. This energy is the life force found in and around all living things and it is always there for us to use, although people have lost the ability to recognise it in their increasingly hectic lives. Reiki provides an opportunity to tap into this life force and replenish and recharge our energy systems.
Where does Reiki come from?
Reiki is an ancient healing technique, probably thousands of years old, and was first used by Tibetan monks. It was re -discovered by Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, in 1914 while on a spiritual retreat in the mountains, and he then returned to Tokyo where he founded the Usui Healing Society. He practised and taught Reiki to many people and his aim was to make Reiki available for everyone to use and to spread its healing power throughout the world. Since he began his work, other forms of Reiki have evolved from his teachings of the Usui method. They use different ways to channel the energy and different symbols, but each form is powerful, and many Reiki practitioners use more than one form of Reiki.

How does it work?
Reiki is a simple but powerful healing - easily given and received. By placing hands on or above the body in various positions, the practitioner allows the energy to flow freely to the recipient. The whole body is treated and the Reiki energy flows to where it is most needed for healing. It is not a recognised medical treatment, but it complements conventional medicine of all kinds. By energising and balacing the body it aids healing and recovery, and gives the recipient inner strength to assist their own healing.
Reiki does not come from the practitioner - it is channelled from the universe by them, and they do not use their own energy.
Reiki is given by the practitioner to the recipient while they are lying down fully clothed and comfortable. The treatment starts at the head and continues down the body to the feet, first the front of the body, and then the back. All you have to do is relax!
What are benefits of Reiki?
Throughout the treatment Reiki will activate the Chakras - the energy centres of the body, and they are linked to the Endocrine, Respiratory, Lymphatic, Neurological and Circulatory systems. It will relax muscles and release tension. Reiki energy is used by the body to release negative energies and the practitioner will work to balance the chakras to bring a feeling of peace and calm.
Can I learn Reiki and treat myself?
Anyone who is interested in Reiki can learn the technique and give themselves healing. In the first course - Reiki I, you will be attuned and learn the hand positions from a Reiki Master. It is a great gift to have the ability to self heal, especially if you suffer from health problems, and you will be able to give Reiki energy to your families, plants and animals too. To learn Reiki is to take a spiritual journey, it will help you to relax and find a deeper sense of well being and peace. Reiki usually comes to us at a period of change in our lives, and training should be taken at a pace suited to the individual. Once Reiki I has been acheived, a period of at least four months must elapse before learning Reiki II, while the practitioner becomes adjusted to the changes brought on by the attunement process and while they gain experience and confidence in giving Reiki treatments. Reiki is not to be rushed, but once experienced, will develop, and become a gentle and integral part of your life and of the lives of those people around you.
What is an Attunement?
A Reiki practitioner or Master is already attuned to higher levels of energy, and they will pass this energy to you during an attunement, opening you to a higher frequency. It is a peaceful meditative experience, and it will bring cleansing and clearing, emotionally, spiritually and mentally, and this can have a profound effect, bringing different emotions and sensations while you adjust to the higher levels of energy open to you.
