Reiki

(The Usui method of natural healing)

Ancient texts were rediscovered and developed by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan, early last century.
The word "Reiki" means universal (rei) - energy (ki).
This energy is known as"ki" in Japan,"chi" or "qi" in China, and "prana" in India, and in Europe "spirit" or "ether" (from the Greek word aether, meaning "upper air") has been used.

Eastern medicine has always worked with this "ki" energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to the well-being of life. When this energy doesn't flow freely, the body is imbalanced and health problems can occur.
Reiki is an effective way of tapping into this energy.

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 keep the body in a natural state of balance.

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.
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.

Please note: the client remains fully clothed throughout, either sitting or lying down in a peaceful environment.

Distant Healing Reiki

If the client is unable to visit the practitioner in person, for example if they are in hospital, Reiki can be "transmitted" to them by the practitioner. The effects of the universal energy will be similar to those listed above.
