WHAT IS REIKI AND WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A TREATMENT?

Reiki is a natural, simple and safe method of healing suitable for all ages. The most accurate English translation of the Japanese term Reiki is “universal life force energy”. It has no connection with any religion or belief system and aims to improve health and enhance quality of life. Neither diagnosis nor prognosis is given during treatments.

Reiki is channelled through the hands of the practitioner in a traditionally taught sequence of hand placements along the head and body. The recipient of the Reiki treatment remains fully clothed throughout the session. The session is generally conducted whilst the client lies relaxed on a treatment table but can be conducted seated if required. Sessions typically are for 60 to 90 minute duration.

As every individual receiving a Reiki treatment differs so too are the effects of each treatment. Physical sensations that may be felt during the treatment include warmth, coolness and tingling. As a result of the deep relaxation reached it is not unusual for recipients to sleep during the treatment.
