Reiki

Reiki pronounced 'ray-key', "Rei" meaning universal life giving and "Ki" meaning force... together Reiki is translated as Universal Life Force Energy and is the essence out of which all things manifest.

We are all composed of energy, nothing exists without it. If you take a seed and plant it it grows and it is through the presence of Life Force Energy that this happens. Life Force Energy flows around the physical body in pathways called chakras and meridians and flows around us in our auras.

During a Reiki session Life Force Energy is channeled and flows through the body and arura, charging them with positive energy which increases the vibrational level of the natural energy flow in the body. This helps to release negative energies and blockages in the meridians to promote the bodies natural ability to heal itself on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.

The therapy is named after Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese theologist who rediscovered the art of healing by transfering this Universal Life Force Energy for the highest and best good.

A Reiki treatment is very simple and relaxing and is delivered either in sitting or lying on the couch whilst the practitioner gently places their hand on or over the whole body in a sequence of position. Reiki is a non-instusive treatment and there is no need to remove clothing other than shoes and jewellery.
