Reiki

Reiki is a hands-on therapy, facilitating deep levels of relaxation, stress relief, energy renewal and healing.

The Japanese words rei and ki together mean ‘divinely guided life force energy’. When you have balance, you have health, happiness and abundance. Reiki restores balance to the body’s vital energy allowing the recipient to absorb what they need.

Healing takes place on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Reiki works to release the cause of problems, rather than just the manifesting symptoms.

What happens in a therapy session?

On your first visit the therapist will take a brief medical history, allow an extra 15 minutes for this. A Reiki treatment takes place fully clothed on a massage couch. The therapist places her hands on or just above the body, allowing the Reiki energy to flow where it is most needed.

You may relax to the point of falling asleep or feel yourself floating in and out of a calm, meditative state. You may feel warmth or cold, or a tingling sensation, and you may see images, colours or lights — as in a dream. You may of course feel, see or experience nothing, other than a sense of deep, inner calm and total relaxation.
