Reiki healing

During a mystical experience on Mt. Kurama, Dr. Usui received the ability to do Reiki treatments. How does Reiki work?

Reiki works on an energy level. Energy flows within the physical bodythrough pathwayscalled chakras and meridians. It also flows around us in energy fields known as the aura.This energy nourishes the organs and cells of the body.

Our personal energy is responsive to thoughts and feelings, and becomes disrupted when we take on negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings cause disruptions in the flow of energy within and around us. This energy is, in turn, disrupted, causing the organs and tissues in the physical body to function less effectively. Areas become dis-eased and imbalanced.

Reiki heals by moving through our personal energy fields and charging them with positive energy. In doing so, it raises the vibratory level of our energy and causes the negative thoughts and feelings to break away.

Reiki Healers visualise a series of symbols to increase the effectiveness of the energy. Reiki clears, heals and straightens the energy pathways, correcting dis-ease and imbalances. The physical body's natural healing processes are encouraged to function and are increased in effectiveness. Energy is therefore allowed to again flow through the body in a healthy and natural way.

What happens during a treatment?

You will normally be given a short explanation of what the treatment involves and asked for some details about you, which may also include a short medical history.

You will be asked to lie (or sit if this is easier for you) as comfortably as possible. You will not be asked to remove any clothing except for anything which may restrict your breathing or comfort, such as out-door clothing, shoes, spectacles or contact lenses. This is so that you can feel comfortable and relaxed during the treatment. Reiki will go through clothing, blankets or even a plaster cast if necessary!

Treatment is given by the practitioner placing their hands gently on or just above your body in a sequence of hand positions, which are non-intrusive and cover both the front and back of the body.

People can experience intense heat from the practitioner's hands. There is no massage or manipulation. You may feel sensations under the practitioners' hands or in other parts of your body. You may feel heat, tingling, coolness, throbbing or other sensations. You may feel very little, although many people experience a sense of well being and relaxation - some even fall asleep! Sometimes a treatment can be energizing: there is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki.

Will the practitioner diagnose what’s wrong with me?

Reiki practitioners are not trained in diagnosis and will not offer any diagnosis, prognosis or advice. If you are concerned about symptoms you should see your doctor.

How will I feel after a treatment?

Most people feel very relaxed and at peace after Reiki treatments, although Reiki can also stir up emotions as part of the healing process. You may feel tired, but sometimes full of energy. Some people also experience a healing reaction, such as headaches, cold or flu-like symptoms. These symptoms are normally of short duration. If you are concerned about a reaction to a treatment talk to your practitioner, who should be able to reassure you.

How many treatments will I need?

This varies from person to person. In general most problems will take time to heal - healing with Reiki is a process rather than an event. In general acute problems heal faster than chronic ones. If your problem is of long standing it may require treatments over a longer period of time. Your Reiki practitioner may suggest that you have a number of treatments close together or 4 treatments on 4 consecutive days. However, while a Reiki practitioner may suggest how treatments should be spaced and encourage you to continue, you should feel free to make the decision about what treatment you wish to receive. You are ultimately responsible for your health and well being.

How much will a treatment cost?

The cost of Reiki treatments is comparable to many complementary therapies such as Massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy.

Initial treatment sessions are £35, with further sessions at £25. Animal rates vary, so please call us for details. See also distant healing page.
