What is Reiki ?

      Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on healing technique that uses Universal energy to treat physical ailments without using pressure, manipulation or massage. However, it is much more than a physical therapy. It is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the person – body, mind, emotions and spirit and it can also be used to encourage personal awareness and growth.

     Healing is not something which happens ‘out there’ something which someone else ‘does’ to you. There is really only one ‘healer’ of your body and that is you, because your body possesses the mechanisms to heal itself, so all anyone else can do – whether that person is a doctor, a nurse a complementary therapist or a Reiki ‘healer’ is to kick start that natural process in some way, whether by conventional or alternative means.

      Reiki energies go to where the body is most out of balance, the healing energies go to the source of the problem and the amount of energy needed to restore the well-being varies. Acute problems often respond quickly to treatment, chronic problems may take a  longer period of time to be healed.

     The sensations felt when receiving Reiki can be different for different people. Many people experience a pleasant sensation of warmth or gentle tingling in the area. A feeling of relaxation and well-being can be felt as stress and tension are released and energy in the body is balanced.

 
Results of Reiki can sometimes be felt immediately or after a long period of time, depending on the nature of the problem.
