About Reiki

Q. What is Reiki?

Reiki means “Universal Life Force Energy” and can be referred to as Chi. ‘Rei’ means ‘universal’ and ‘Ki’ is energy.

Reiki is a healing and relaxation technique to balance and recharge the energy where it is needed most. Reiki is never invasive and you are fully clothed except for shoes and jewellery during the session and only light touch is applied if you are in person. (Distant Reiki is also available as an alternative).

Energy flows through all living things and experience confirms that when perhaps you are physically low or emotionally low, the energies within the body gets out of balance. When our energy flows freely, we are more likely to feel alive, energetic, vibrant, relaxed, healthy and happy.

Reiki is NOT
• Religious cult
• Psychic surgery
• Imagination
• Psychotherapy
• Medical technique
• Diagnosis method
• Form of mind control
• Medical practice
• Massage technique
• Shamanism

Reiki helps to restore and balance you physically, emotionally and spiritually. Reiki supports and nurtures your whole being enabling you to step back into being you!

It can bring you a sense of calm and clarity perhaps when we are having a difficult time, challenged by illness or change in our lives. By providing more flow of energy to blocked areas and charging them with positive energy, it can clear the energy paths in our bodies and complement traditional medical treatment and accelerate recovery.

All first sessions of Reiki & Soul Therapy will start with a consultation and there is plenty of time to provide an opportunity to discuss your requirements and expectations to ensure that the Reiki is appropriate for you, based on your specific needs. I will explain in more detail what the treatment will include and answer any questions that you may have.

Q. Still unsure if Reiki is proven to work?

It is is scientifically proven that Reiki does work (see Additional Resources below), you can also check out testimonials from some of my Reiki customers.

Q. So what happens after the Reiki treatment?

Reiki is an intelligent energy and works at energising and balancing the chakras. The majority of people report that they feel relaxed and sleepy after their first visit. It is recommended that further treatments are considered and certainly in the case of healing at the deepest level.

Energy healing prompts the body to release blockages and harmful energy, so it is important to drink water and rest after a treatment as the healing changes take place in your body as the toxins begins to flush into the bloodstream get filtered and eliminated.

With severe blockages, such as in the case of longer term emotional or serious medical issues – you can sometimes feel worse (sweating, fever, achy, fatigue, nauseous and generally feel discomfort) this could last for a few days. So it is very important to drink lots of water or herbal teas and avoid a poor diet like coffee and junk food, to aid the “detox” and encourage the flow (of chi) and energy healing.
