WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a form of hands on healing, with its origins in India and the East dating back many thousands of years to the time before Christ and Buddha. The original name, disciplines and techniques of Reiki were lost due to the traditional method of passing knowledge from generation to generation by word of mouth. Exactly when this ancient art of healing disappeared is difficult to determine. However, we do know that it was rediscovered by a Japanese Scholar and monk name Dr Mikao Usui. It was in fact Dr Usui who fashioned the name REIKI.
HOW IS REIKI PERFORMED?
During a Reiki session (also referred to as a ‘treatment’), a practitioner places their hands lightly on a fully clothed client who reclines on a massage table or sits in a comfortable chair. Sessions can also be given in alternative settings, like a hospital bed.
In addition to receiving treatments from a practitioner, Reiki can be easily learned. A client can become a practitioner; able to treat themselves, friends or family. A qualified Reiki Master Teacher can provide simple instruction and initiation into the practice.
WHAT IS REIKI USED TO TREAT?
Unlike many other complementary practices, Reiki sessions treat the whole person and not specific symptoms. A treatment balances, and as a result clients often report release or relief from unwanted symptoms, as well as an increase in overall feelings of peace, well-being, letting go, freedom, support, connection, balance and release.
There are no known contraindications for Reiki, meaning, there are no known reasons that a Reiki session should be avoided because of the potential to cause harm. It is generally regarded as a safe, non-invasive practice that does not compete with other interventions.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I RECEIVE REIKI TREATMENTS?
If you have never experienced a Reiki session, we recommend first that you come in and receive a session. After your session we can decide on the optimal length of time between sessions that will support you in feeling your best!
