Reiki Healing
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is a completely natural treatment that does not interfere with any medical procedures or practice; we all have energy centres throughout our body called Chakras and Reiki aims to clear, open, and balance these energy points to achieve health, overall wellness, and peace.
The healing is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If ones "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to become sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki assists the body in its own highest levels of healing and wellness.
Your Reiki Healing
After a warm friendly welcome and consultation, your Reiki healing will involve the positioning of the practitioners hands on your body, using a firm yet gentle touch. This can create a wonderful warm, soothing sensation caused by the flow of energy through and around you, generating total relaxation. You will remain fully clothed throughout the treatment, only needing to remove your footwear.
What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies somewhat from person to person. However, feelings of deep relaxation are usually felt by all. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.
Reiki treats the person as a whole, including the body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many benefits that can include the following;
- Releases Stress
- Encourages relaxation
- Increases energy
- Accelerates the healing process of physical and emotional conditions
- Boosts the immune system
- Creates balance and a feeling of peace, security and wellbeing
What Can Be Treated?
Reiki is both powerful and gentle. In its long history of use it has aided in healing virtually every known illness and injury including serious problems like: multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and cancer as well as skin problems, cuts, bruises, broken bones, headache, colds, flu, sore throat, sunburn, fatigue, insomnia, impotence, poor memory, lack of confidence, etc. It is always beneficial and works to improve the effectiveness of all other types of therapy. Reiki will improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki always helps and in some cases people have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the Reiki treatments. However, while some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed.
