REIKI

Reiki is a gentle, holistic non-invasive practice that works with the body’s natural energy to encourage relaxation, balance and harmony, offering a sense of well-being that can help to ease stress, restore calm, and create space for the body’s own healing process.

So what actually is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that was founded in Japan in about 1920 by Mikao Usui. The practice is based on the idea that we all have an unseen “life force energy” flowing through our bodies, and after all everything is energy and vibration so that makes sense.

Reiki therapy is a way of guiding that energy throughout the body to promote the recipient’s self-healing abilities. Reiki is incredibly relaxing which assists the body natural healing abilities.

What are the health benefits of Reiki as a complimentary therapy?

Reiki is linked to a range of physical, emotional and mental health benefits, including better sleep, improved mood, and pain relief. Research suggests Reiki helps your body return to a state of relaxation, which allows it to heal from damage brought on by stress, anxieties, injury, or disease. One of the main benefits , that then leads to many other benefits is that Reiki reduces stress, which is great because our bodies cannot heal from anything if they're in a constant state of stress

What happens during a Reiki session?

During a session, a Reiki practitioner will gently move their hands above, close to or on the body the recipients fully clothed body in a series of hand positions. Each hand position focuses on a different part of the body — including the head, shoulders, stomach, and feet — and is held for between 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the person’s needs. There is very little to no talking during these therapy sessions, which typically last between 45 - 60 minutes. The treatment is deeply relaxing, calming and rejuvenating.
