The word Reiki is made up of two words, “Rei “which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and “Ki” which is “Life force energy”. So Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy. Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If one’s life force energy is high we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feeling of peace, security and well being. Many have reported amazing results as a result of receiving a Reiki treatment.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
The participant lies on a plinth fully clothed for the duration of the treatment. Blankets are provided to ensure that the participant is comfortable and cosy. The Reiki healing is channeled through the hands of the healer to the chakra points on the body or to where the healer is guided. There are 7 main chakra points on the body. These are situated on the top of the head (crown chakra), middle of the forehead (third eye chakra), middle of throat area (throat chakra), middle of chest area (heart chakra), under the sternum (solar plexus chakra), just below the navel (sacral chakra) and base of the spine (base chakra). Care is taken only to place hands in appropriate areas.
Most people will find the healing deeply relaxing and restful. Participants often report feeling very well, grounded, much lighter in themselves and having more clarity after receiving a Reiki healing.
