What is Reiki?

What is Reiki?
Reiki, a hands-on therapy, moves energy gently through the body. It is a wonderful way of relaxing as it cleanses, balances and harmonizes the physical, spiritual/soul and mental/emotional body. It can life away troubles, stress, anxieties and can also assist in the relief of pain.

​

Reiki is not only one of the most popular forms of alternative therapy today, it is also one of the most amazing tools for spiritual growth and personal development in our time. Much of its popularity has come from personal recommendation where people have felt the benefits and passed the information on to others, the greatest endorsement available. 

​

About the Treatments
Reiki Energy is passed from the Reiki Practitioner to the person being treated, by the placing of hands on or around the person. As it is administered, it relaxes the physical body. As the body goes into a deep relaxation, healing can take place.

​

Before the treatment you may be asked some questions about your general health. Please feel free to ask questions back. Intuitive Reiki also involves a scanning. A scanning is when a Reiki practitioner moves their hands around your body, some distance away ( one inch to several feet). 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. 

​

What should you Expect
All my treatments take place in a warm and comfortable private surrounding at (The Studio) where you can relax and take time out for yourself. Before your actual treatment begins, there will be time set aside for you to discuss your situation and to ask questions about the therapy. All information is treated with the strictest confidentiality and no information regarding you or your treatment is electronically stored. Treatments usually last for one hour. 

​

You will not be asked to undress (except for shoes and heavy jewellery). Body privacy is respected at all times. Reiki is experienced differently by each individual, however some of the most common feelings during or following a treatment 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. 

​

Occasionally someone will go through a ‘healing crisis’. 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 bathroom. During this time, try to take things easy and drink plenty of water. 

​

How many treatments do you need?
Many people come for treatments for a specific condition or problem while others come simply because they want to nurture themselves and remain in good health. Sometimes a few Reiki sessions are 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 has the ability to profoundly change the nature of one’s experience of reality on all levels of being.
