What is Reiki?
I have practiced Reiki Energy Healing for almost 30 years. Reiki means ‘universal life energy’ and it surrounds everything in nature. It needs to flow freely to maintain good health.

The therapist uses this energy to stimulate the  client’s energy centres, so the body works properly. Think of these energy centres as small batteries which energise the areas of the body. If the ‘battery’ is low, that part of the body will not work properly. Stimulating  the energy centre is like jump-starting a car battery, restoring the energy to its proper level, so that area works properly again.

Where did Reiki energy healing originate?
Reiki  is attributed to a Japanese man called Mikao Usui (1865 – 1926). He learned about energy and martial arts at a young age. As an adult he travelled extensively, studying eastern and western medicine, and various sciences. He also trained as a Zen Buddhist monk. He managed to combine the practical, scientific and spiritual views of life into his ethos.

What does a Reiki healing session involve?
Treatment normally takes place on a therapy table. If the client is less mobile, they can sit in a chair.

The Reiki therapist will direct energy to each of the body’s main energy centres (or chakras) in turn, starting at the head and working down to the base of the spine. This may be repeated on each side of the body.

Although Reiki is regarded as a ‘hands-on’ treatment, I normally work with my hands several inches away from the body. I only touch the shoulder when it is time to turn over, and the feet at the end. This helps to ground the client, which reduces disorientation after the treatment.

The session often gives improvements for ten days or more after your visit.
