Reiki (pronounced ray, key) is a Japanese Healing System used for reducing stress, enhancing relaxation and promoting health. Although it is very ancient in its origin, Reiki is a very simple but powerful healing method.
The word Rei means higher knowledge or spiritual consciousness and it understands each person completely. It knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and how to heal them.
The word Ki means life force energy and is the non-physical energy which fills and animates all living things. So long as we possess this energy we are alive.
If the life force energy is low then a person is more prone to illness. Life force energy plays an important role in all aspects of our lives. It also increases not only our physical energy but also enlivens our mental, emotional, creative and spiritual aspects.
During a treatment Rei guides Ki in the practice we call Reiki. Reiki can therefore be considered spiritually guided life energy. This closely describes the experience most people have of it; Reiki guiding itself with its own wisdom, rather than requiring the direction of the practitioner.
All that is required of the recipient is to take their shoes off and although treatments are usually carried out with the recipient lying on a therapy bed, treatment can be given in any comfortable position eg. In a chair if necessary. A session lasts about a hour and is extremely relaxing in a wonderfully conducive atmosphere.
Reiki can be combined with all healing modalities, including conventional and complementary medicines.
The benefits are it speeds up healing on all levels-physical, mental, emotional. It detoxifies the body, aids sleep, increases energy and stamina, relaxes you and relieves emotional upset.
Reiki also makes a wonderful gift- with vouchers available.
