A bit about Reiki...

Reiki is not only one of the most popular forms of alternative therapy it is also one of the most amazing tools for spiritual growth and personal development in our time.

Much of Reiki’s popularity has come from personal recommendations where people have felt the benefits and passed the information on to others, the greatest endorsement available.

A Reiki Treatment is a wonderful way of relaxing. It lifts away troubles, stress, anxieties and can assist in the relief of pain. Reiki Energy is passed from the Reiki Practitioner to the person being treated, by the placing of hands on or around the person.

Before the Practitioner begins, he/she may ask you questions about your condition. Please feel free to ask questions back.

They may also move their hands around your body, some distance away (1inch to several feet). They are scanning you. This means that they are passing their hands through your Aura and feeling for energy imbalances.

The Aura is the area of energy that surrounds your physical body. It is made up of different layers, each having a different purpose. Please ask your Practitioner to explain if you wish to know more.

Reiki Practitioners have their own method of working, some work directly on the injury, others perform whole body treatments – it depends on the Practitioner and the condition that is to be treated.

During the Reiki treatment, you may feel any number of different things such as heat, buzzing, waves of hot/cold tingles. None of these is unpleasant and these descriptions are only the closest comparisons that can be made to the feelings felt. You may describe it as something completely different!

You may feel nothing ! This is not an excuse, but on some rare occasions, nothing is felt. This does not mean the person has not received Reiki, only that they have not felt it.

Should you wish a friend or someone to be with you whilst Reiki is given, please tell us. This will not affect the treatment in any way.

You will not be asked to undress (except for shoes, watches and heavy jewellery). Body privacy is respected at all times.

As we experience Reiki differently, so we differ in how we feel afterwards. The commonest feelings are:
Total relaxation, absence of pain, elation, light-headedness, giddy/happy, enormous sense of well-being, waves of energy, tingling and excitement.

Many people find that either that night or the next, they have the best night’s sleep they have had in years! For several days after, you may feel sensations similar to those felt at the time of the treatment.

This is normal; the energy stays with you, helping you to help yourself.

So many people now lead stressful lives which can lead to emotional problems and even eventually result in pathogenic changes and painful conditions. Reiki often starts a detox process as it works to remove the negative energy that may have accumulated in your life and this process can sometimes be uncomfortable.

The detox may show itself as a mild headache, cold like symptoms, emotional releases, tiredness or frequent trips to the toilet. During this time try to take things easy and drink plenty of water.

Sometimes one Reiki session is enough for a person to be relieved of an ailment or condition, sometimes not. We are all different and we all respond in different ways. You and your body are the best indicator.

Reiki is totally safe but if you have any concerns about your health then please get in touch for advice.
