What is Reiki healing?
The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan
early in the 20th century, which is activated by intention. Reiki’s natural healing
energy works on every level, not just the physical, and promotes the body’s regenerative
self healing ability.
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. Known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. Acupuncture,
T’ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person.
Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore
homeostasis.
Note: Reiki is being used in various settings including private practice, complementary
therapy centres, GP surgeries, hospitals, hospices, cancer support groups, post-operative
recovery, drug rehabilitation, prisons, HIV/AIDS centres, and in the care of the elderly.

What are the benefits of Reiki healing?
The energy of Reiki can be used to great effect in many ways. Whether one is suffering
from stress or tension, and the many symptoms associated with this, or wishing to improve
the quality of relationships at home or work, the beneficial effects of Reiki occur on
many levels. Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions,
and free us from restrictive mental attitudes. It may also provide a closer connection
with inner wisdom.
Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as improving the diet, having
more rest, exercise or leisure time, and may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco.
Reiki can allow us to respond more calmly to all events, and build on a more resourceful
state of being. Reiki is a gentle energy and may be used safely by all ages, including
the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, regardless
of their state of health. Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions help to
ward-off illness and fatigue.
Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that can be used without fear of any side-effects or
overdose. It may be used with confidence alongside conventional medication or natural
remedies because it acts in a complementary way.

What happens during a Reiki healing session?
A session is usually carried out with the client lying down or sitting, in a comfortable
and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing. The practitioner
places their hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body. The client's
system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way
is most appropriate at the time.
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling,
warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases
stress, and has a calming effect. Treatment is enhanced if one can rest for a while
afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body detox.
Be responsive to the needs
of your body, e.g. resting if tired, and allow the energy to continue its work after the
session ends.
The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.

How often do I need Reiki healing treatment?
Although even one Reiki session can make a difference, it is usually more effective to
have a course of regular treatments. This may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly
depending on the needs of the individual.
A treatment plan will be discussed with
you, and reviewed as necessary. This will always be subject to your own preferences,
and can be changed at any time according to progress.
Reiki healing safety
Reiki does not take the place of conventional medicine. Always consult a GP for an acute
or infectious condition, and problems of urgent concern. Reiki is a complementary
therapy that works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare, so expanding treatment
options.
