REIKI

Many people have heard of Reiki but don’t know what it is. Reiki is an ancient Japanese form of Healing which is becoming increasingly well-known and accepted in the West. Reiki offers a gentle safe and non-invasive session that can relax and refresh mind, body and spirit. 

"Rei" means "universal" and "Ki" means energy - Reiki practitioners channel this life force energy through their hands to support the body into coming back to balance and can help release any physical or emotional blockages.

Sessions are given with clients fully clothed - the practitioner may work with their hands on or off the body. Recipients may feel just deeply relaxed or may experience sensations of warmth or tingling. Reiki treatments work from head to toe to help ease and ground the whole body.

Reiki c be experienced as profoundly relaxing and benefits can include:-

• Supporting energy flow on the body

• Helping to re-balancing the body's physical and subtle energies

• Supporting the body under stress

• Relieving pain and tension

• Helping to relieving depression, anxiety and insomnia

It is recommended that medical advice be sought alongside any complementary treatment.

Reiki is gentle and safe and can be offered (with the client’s permission) where more vigorous apporaches are contraindicated. It may also be used in massage to encourage tense muscles to relax before moving to deeper work. The likely effect of relaxation on the systems of the body enable and promote well being at all levels, and can support a sense of connection to the inner self.
