There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a treatment, the only requirement is the wish to be healed. The act of laying on of hands to comfort, heal and relieve pain conveys warmth, caring and affection.
Reiki is a completely safe and natural healing system, based on the studies and teaching in Japan, by Dr Mikao Usui. He took information from ancient healing systems and created the Reiki healing that we now use in Western society.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." 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.
Treatment -
This treatment is either hands off completely or a gentle touch of hands on. It is carried out while either lying on the couch or sitting in a chair - whichever is preferable. The hands are placed on or over the body in a sequence of positions. For a shorter treatment time, where you may have a specific area to be worked on this sequence will be altered accordingly.
You may fall asleep, this often happens! You will feel very relaxed and may experience a feeling of warmth in the areas the hands are placed.
It can be effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life.
