Reiki comes from the Japanese word 'rei' meaning Universe and 'Ki' meaning life force. The Chinese call it Qi, in India it is known as prana and in the west it is called Energy. 'Life force energy' surrounds every living thing and it is essential for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and well-being. Our life force becomes depleted, due to reasons such as stress, anxiety, deficient diet, poor posture, medication, pushing ourselves too hard and negative thinking. As a result of this we become physically ill, emotionally imbalanced and its difficult for us to lift our mood and so it becomes a viscious circle. How Reiki works There are 7 main energy centres or chakras which draw energy into the body. The energy flows through a network of systems and due to the innate intelligence of the life force, it goes to where ever the body needs it most. Each chakra is connected to a specific organ and endocrine gland which means you heal on a physical and psychological level. I will place my hands either on or just above your body at the position of each energy centre, if you have a specific area of discomfort then my hands may be guided to go to this area. The Universal Life Force Energy then flows through me and out through my hands and into your energy field or aura. revitalising, refreshing and soothing you. No energy comes from me, i purely work as a channel. Reiki is a gentle healing treatment that will leave you feeling recharged yet full of peace. Whatever your needs are at the time of your session, rest assured that the life force energy will start the healing process. Reiki is very effective after receiving chemotherapy and radiation. It is excellent to have a few sessions before a hospital visit as the calmer you are before any operation the more effectively your body will heal. What to expect from a session You will remain fully clothed, removing only your socks and shoes, your watch and any jewellry you may be wearing. Lying comfortably on a massage couch, you will be covered with a warm blanket and asked to take it a few deep breaths of lavender to help the body to relax. The session lasts for up to an hour in which time most people fall asleep. Reiki can help with all stress related dis-eases as the body relaxes so deeply that tensions and tightness melts away. Reiki is very effective in keeping you in great health physically, mentally and emotionally, but you don't have to be ill to experience Reiki. I like to think of it as recharging your batteries.
