Reiki - Natural Healing Energy: emotional realignment therapy / natural energy healing / reiki / meditation

What is Reiki?
Pronounced ray-key, meaning 'universal life energy', Reiki is a Japanese system of healing to promote wellbeing. It was developed in the early 20th century by a Japanese monk called Dr Mikao Usui. Reiki eases physical, mental and emotional stressors that may inhibit the body's natural flow of energy and lead to discomfort or dis-ease.

Using energy similar to that experienced through practices such as meditation or Tai Chi, Reiki eases disruptions in the energy system creating a deep sense of relaxation and peace. It is a profoundly powerful yet gentle healing tool with far-reaching benefits.

Reiki is an effective holistic healing technique working on the mind, body and energy. Reiki energy is conducted from the giver to the receiver stimulating the body's natural capacity to heal. It can be used alone or with other treatments and is suitable for anyone who is stressed and in need of emotional, physical or energetic refreshment.

What is Reiki helpful for?
Reiki is ideal for treating all kinds of physical and emotional difficulties. It aids toxin elimination and the release of stress, promoting a deep sense of relaxation. Physical problems can sometimes be manifestations of emotional problems and those who experience Reiki may therefore also feel emotional release. Reiki treatments assist the body in coming into better balance as the Reiki energy works on the core of problems. Reiki can also help individuals gain a greater awareness of their own energy and support spiritual and emotional growth.

Reiki has been found to be helpful with a range of different problems and illnesses including:

• emotional blockages or imbalance
  

• stress, anxiety, worry and depression
  

• arthritis and general aches and pains
  

• insomnia and other sleeping difficulties
  

• post-operative recovery
  

• hormone imbalances
  

• digestive complaints
  

• lethargy or low energy
  

• weakened immune system
  

• general wellbeing/personal development

What to expect during a treatment...
Reiki sessions take place fully clothed whilst you are lying on a couch or seated in a comfortable position. The practitioner places their hands gently on or just above your body in a sequence of positions. You may experience heat, tingling or simply a deep sense of relaxation.

Sometimes profound benefits are experienced after only a few sessions but a longer course of treatment may be beneficial for more established problems. Reiki sessions can also be used on a regular basis to help maintain good health or to balance ongoing stress or illnesses. Initial sessions will include a consultation to gather information about your health and goals for the treatment. Progress is reviewed and subsequent sessions are planned throughout the course of treatment.
