What is Reiki?

Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century. It works on every level, not just the physical. The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore homeostasis.

How is Reiki Therapy given?

Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the person receiving the therapy. You lie on a massage table, fully clothed and the therapists hands are placed on or near your body in a series of special hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on your particular needs. Each position is held for several minutes depending on how much Reiki you need. The whole session usually lasts between 45 minutes and an hour.
