Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy, an energy which is all around us. When a person's"life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and when it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki is a Japanese system of natural healing which is performed by "laying on hands". The practitioner is a channel which the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient. Neither person has to use any effort of will or concentration during this process. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing which is effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. Reiki's gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages, including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, in any situation. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit. It has many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. The standard hand placements of reiki healing target the seven major chakras, which are often imbalanced or completely closed by problems of the mind, body or spirit. Keeping these gateways properly functioning is vitally important to our health, because disruptions in energy flow lead to illness. Reiki clears the chakras of negative energy and blockages, restoring the harmonious flow of life-force energy.
There is no belief system attached to reiki so anyone can receive a reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed. Many have reported miraculous results.

What can I expect during a Reiki Treatment?
A consultation will be carried out prior to the reiki session to find about your health, lifestyle and aims for the treatment. The reiki treatment then lasts for 1 hour and is performed on a treatment bed, fully clothed. The treatment can be given in a sitting position, if lying down is not comfortable.
The treatment begins by scanning the chakras using a crystal pendulum, this indicates where work needs to be carried out. Crystals are placed on the chakras which need to be worked on. Hands are then gently placed non-intrusively in a sequence of positions covering the whole body, with each position being held for several minutes. The treatment concludes with the chakras being scanned again to ensure balance following the reiki session.
The whole body is treated even when pain or illness is localised, so that the energy can go to the cause of the imbalance, not just to the manifesting symptoms. Reiki goes to the areas of need, supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself.
During a treatment you may feel warmth, cold or tingling in the areas where healing is taking place. People often experience a deep sense of relaxation as stress and tension are released, energy is unblocked, and emotions surface.
