Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a system of natural hands on healing originating in Japan.  Reiki means ‘universal life energy’; this is the vital energy around and within all living things. 

Reiki is a pure, simple, effective form of healing; which supports all other forms of both orthodox and complementary treatment.

​

A person receiving Reiki can be healed on many levels, emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental.  Reiki helps the body’s own healing ability, promoting well-being, personal growth and a sense of inner peace, therefore restoring balance.  These are just an outline of the marvellous effects Reiki can have.

​

Everyone may find the impression of receiving Reiki or its effects different, there is not one experience that everyone will have.  Likely feelings are a sensation of warmth from the practitioner’s hands and possibly a tingling in the area being treated.  You may also feel the flow of the energy, like a pulse.  Although you may be receiving Reiki for a particular problem, it is still the whole body that is being treated.  Reiki goes to the areas it is needed even if the hands aren’t on that particular area.  Effects of Reiki may be felt immediately as you are having a treatment or later that day, the healing may be more subtle.  Generally you should leave a treatment feeling calm and relaxed. 

​

Nothing is required from a person receiving Reiki, just the desire to be healed.  There is no belief system attached to Reiki, so anyone can receive or learn to give Reiki.
