The Japanese word Reiki means "Universal Energy". Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to the well being of life. The energy is known as "Ki" in Japan, "Chi" in China, and "Prana" in India. Acupuncture, tai chi and yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person.
What are the Benefits?

Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as improving the diet, having more rest, exercise or leisure time, and, may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco. Reiki can allow us to respond more calmly to all events and build on a more resourceful state of being.
Reiki is a gentle energy and may be used safety by all ages, including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, regardless of their state of health. Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions help to ward-off illness and fatigue.
Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that can be used without fear of any side effects or overdose. It may be used with confidence alongside conventional medication or natural remedies because it acts in a complementary way.
Reiki is being used in GP surgeries, hospices, cancer support groups, post-operative recovery, drug rehabilitation, prisons, HIV/AIDS centers, and care of the elderly.
What Happens During a Session?
A session is usually carried out with the client lying down or sitting in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing.
The practitioner places their hands gently in a series of positions over the body. The client's system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as it needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time.
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations or nothing al all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect.
Treatment is enhanced if one can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body detoxify. Be responsive to the needs of your body, i.e. resting if tired, and allow the energy to continue its work after the session ends. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days after.
How Often Do I Need To Have A Treatment?
Although even one Reiki session can make a difference, it is usually more effective to have a course of regular treatments. This may be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the needs of the individual.
A treatment plan will be discussed with you and reviewed as necessary. This will always be subject to your own preferences, and can be changed at any time according to progress.
