Discover the Power of Reiki
The lifestyles we lead can be hectic. We often have little or no time for ourselves and we neglect our body and it's systems. This leads to imbalance and stress and it is how we deal with our stress that determines whether it has a good or bad effect effect on our body. Long-term stress can wreak havoc on our health as harmful stress related hormones linger in our bodies. This can lead to stress related symptoms, disease and unhappiness. Whilst traditional medicine has made incredible contributions to increased quality of life by treating symptoms of illness, people want more. Alongside the value of Western medicine, a more informed public now want greater control of their own health and are seeking alternative healing methods to both prevent and cure illness completely. This new awareness and desire has led to a surge in the use of Reiki healing for distress on all levels.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient healing art. Many believe it to be the strongest form of
energy healing that has ever existed…It is a complete healing system, working
with your energy to help balance and heal your physical body as well as your mental,
emotional and spiritual well-being.
Reiki is a Japanese word; REI means “Universal” and KI means “Life Force Energy”.
(It is pronounced “Ray-Key”). It is the vital life force energy that flows through all living things.
When the flow of this Life Force energy through our physical bodies is blocked or disrupted, physical / emotional health problems
tend to occur.
Reiki is not a religion and will work regardless of your belief system.
Reiki is a safe, effective, non-invasive, healing therapy that can be used in both the prevention and cure of physical illness, disease, stress and emotional difficulties.

.How does Reiki work?
In a Reiki treatment, the practitioner places their hands lightly in a series of positions on or over the
recipient’s body and life force energy is channelled through the Reiki practitioner to work on the
recipient’s energy field and physical body.
The energy is drawn to the source of any imbalances or areas that perhaps are undergoing some form of stress or where there is a health issue. It works wherever it is most needed within the body, mind and spirit, releasing blocked energies, cleansing the body of toxins and working to create a state of balance.
The outcome of each treatment is determined, not by the practitioner, but by the energy system of the person receiving the treatment.
The experience of a treatment may vary for each individual as you might experience a sense of deep, blissful relaxation, floating,
tingling, warmth, heaviness, lightness, movement or a release.
You might see vivid colours, clear images - perhaps of places and people.
You might find that your thoughts are clearer or they are meaningful.
Whatever you feel and see during a session is a unique experience to you!
The treatment can be carried out with you lying on the massage couch or sitting in a chair.
You remain fully clothed.
A Reiki session lasts for about 50 minutes.
Reiki works well alongside the psychological well-being therapies I offer to help a wide range of stress-related, emotional and relationship difficulties, and mental health needs.
