Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy therapy, a method of hands on healing.

When and Where did it start?

Reiki originated in Japan at the turn of the 20th Century and was started by Dr Usui.

What does the treatment involve?

Reiki is not a massage treatment, so there is no need to get undressed. You lie on the couch, while the therapist places their hands on or above your body. Each treatment lasts around an hour.

What will you experience during the treatment?
Reiki is a very gentle but deeply relaxing treatment, and can be likened to getting into a warm bath, you may even fall asleep. Often you can feel heat, warmth or even cold coming from the practitioners’ hands, and colours and images are sometimes seen when the eyes are closed.

Who would benefit from treatment?

Reiki is a very gentle treatment that works on different levels, emotional, spiritual and physical. It is great for absolutely anyone and is one of the few treatments that have no contra-indications. So people who cannot usually have other types of treatment such as massage or Reflexology, can benefit from Reiki. For example, women in the first stages of pregnancy, people with Heart conditions or those with Diabetes.
It is a great treatment for anyone and especially helpful for those who are going through a stressful time.

How Often?

Although even one Reiki session can make a difference, it is usually more effective to have a course of regular treatments. This may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the needs of the individual. A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and reviewed as necessary. This will always be subject to your own preferences, and can be changed at any time according to progress.

After a Reiki treatment

You will often feel sleepy and relaxed you may notice a decrease in mental chatter and a calm but energised feeling.
