What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and healing. It’s based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us,  and which involves a practitioner channelling energy and directing it to people, animals, plants - any living thing! 

Reiki promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Practitioners use their hands to direct energy, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. 

Reiki can help alleviate a range of physical and emotional issues, including stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and more. It can also enhance your overall sense of well-being and help you achieve a greater sense of peace and balance in your life.

Reiki is believed to assist in detoxifying the body, alleviating pain, calming shocks, and soothing the mind. Each individual's experience with Reiki is unique, and treatments vary from person to person. Reiki may be beneficial for various conditions, including: 

- Stress 

- Chronic pain

- Mental health issues

- Nervous system disorders

- Digestive issues

- Spiritual crises and/or Awakening

- Bereavement

- Sleep disorders

- Trauma

It can be used in conjunction with medical treatments and other complementary therapies.  

A complete Reiki session lasts one hour. During this time, the client remains fully clothed, with shoes removed. You can receive Reiki either lying down or seated in a chair. The practitioner places their hands either on or just above the client's body. The sensations felt as Reiki energy flows may include heat, chills, tingling, pressure, or even visual experiences of colours. While many find Reiki to be a deeply relaxing experience that fosters a sense of well-being and tranquillity, others may experience emotional release, feel an urge to converse, or simply drift off to sleep.

"A Healer does not heal you.

A Healer is someone who holds space for you while you  awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself"
