Reiki is a wonderful healing therapy developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900’s. It is derived from Buddhist handhealing and works on the energy of the body on every level, gently aiming to restore the balance of mind and body.

The interpretation of the word Reiki will vary slightly, as it is translated from the Japanese Kanji or characters.

Rei is ‘spiritual healing’, higher consciousness..

Ki is the energy that animates all living things, the same as chi and prana.
Together they mean ‘healing for body and mind'.

When life force or chi/ki is depleted, the body begins to use reserved energy and when this is unavailable the body becomes unprotected from virus and disease. The body may then develop illness and needs to restore its energy reserves.

Reiki heals by flowing into and transforming disruptive energy patterns. By raising the vibration of the energy field these negative, lower vibrations can be lifted and released.

Reiki is extremely relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect. The recipient may feel a mild tingling, warmth, coolness and other sensations or nothing at all. The recipient will draw the Reiki energy in to wherever it is most needed.

It is a good idea to rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water, and allow the energy to continue working and you may find that you are effected over several days.

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful complementary therapy and can be used alongside orthodox healthcare and is not an alternative to conventional medicine. It has been proved to always work for the GOOD.

Reiki is completely safe, non-intrusive and there is no belief system attached. Reiki will restore the natural balance of mind and body and so create an improved quality of life. Everyone can benefit from this gentle healing.

Mikao Usui wrote: " Our Reiki is something absolutely original. Through it, the human body will first be made healthy and then peace of mind and joy of life will be increased"
