What is Reiki?

In our lives we encounter so much disruption and stress that it can be easy to overlook the moments when everything is in harmony. Yet we all encounter these moments; for example, when we are in nature, when absorbed in the flow of an enjoyable activity, or when feeling the perfection that can come with caring for others. In these moments we experience balanced flow of the energy that nourished and maintains all living things. When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us, and we experience a sense of wellbeing. If we could always experience this, we would live fuller, healthier, and happier lives.

“Reiki” (ray-key) is Japanese for “universal life energy”. It is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing that dates back to around 2500 years ago, with it’s roots lying in Tibet and China. In the early 1920s the method was studied and promoted by Dr.Mikao Usui in Japan which resulted in the methods used today.

Dr.Usui described Reiki in this way; “As running water smooths the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself”.

Reiki treatment is a process that anyone can enjoy in the normal course of their life. It can also be used in addition to other conventional and complementary therapies when specific needs arise.

What is Reiki treatment?

The method of receiving Reiki is simple. The recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The whole person is treated rather than specific areas. Sessions can take 45 minutes to an hour-and-a-half, depending on the client’s needs.

Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not predict any specific outcome from treatment. If people are concerned about their symptoms, they should see a doctor.

What do Reiki treatments feel like?

Each person experiences Reiki differently depending on their individual needs at the time.

Clients may or may not feel sensations during a Reiki treatment. Benefits reported by recipients include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of wellbeing on all levels. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored.

What do Reiki treatments do?

Reiki is a safe and soothing treatment that can be used alongside conventional and any other complementary therapies. Some of the benefits can be:

• Emotional and spiritual support. The relaxing nature of Reiki can be very helpful to people especially at difficult times in our lives. We can all feel overwhelmed or disconnected, sometimes there is a real sense of isolation, both emotionally and spiritually. Reiki treatments can bring feelings of peace, centeredness, and an ability to cope better with the challenges of life.
• Recovery from shorter term illness or injury, pain relief, and relief from longer term chronic conditions. Helps to bring comfort, acceptance, and a more positive outlook
• Supportive during pregnancy. Reiki can be wonderful for pregnant women. Treatments can be very relaxing and enjoyable for the mother.
• Calming for children. Children usually love Reiki. The length of a session is often shorter than it would be for an adult.
• Reassuring for animals. Animals also respond well to Reiki, they too seem to find it relaxing and soothing.
• Helpful at the end of life. In such cases Reiki can be a great comfort, helping to promote a sense of peace and acceptance for the dying and their families.

How much Reiki would I need?

A single session may be sufficient, but it is best to discuss this with your practitioner. For instance, if you have long standing emotional or spiritual issues, a series of sessions may be beneficial. In general, if you find that helpful changes are taking place, it is a good idea to continue treatment.
