Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese therapy developed by Dr Mikao Usui from his many decades studying ancient Sanskrit, Vedas, Buddhist teachings and Christianity. It is a non-invasive therapy that works in a holistic way to balance our nervous systems, bodies and energetic field for better physical health and overall wellbeing.

Reiki can work alongside talking therapy and traditional medicine or, if one chooses, be used solely to help our bodies heal and recover from any kind of past or recent disruption be that stress, trauma, compromised immunity, problems with sleep, hormonal imbalance or chronic pain. Reiki can help with anything that causes us to feel less than well physically and/or emotionally through releasing and rebalancing Chi.

These days there is far more understanding about the direct correlation between our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. Reiki treats as one. Some people have Reiki as part of an ongoing wellness routine in their lives. Others benefit from a course of Reiki to help recover from a period of being unwell, managing chronic pain, or perhaps after a difficult life experience.

But what exactly is Reiki? I get asked this a great deal. The subjects of Reiki, Energy, Vibrations, Matter etc. fit into the much more complex and equally fascinating subject of quantum physics and for some, can also overlap with spirituality, depending upon one’s own aspect and views. I will try to keep my explanation of Reiki as simple as possible.

Everything we can see, hear, smell, touch, feel and sense is us as beings of energy responding to the energetic world and universe in which we exist. Sometimes this is a wonderful, joyous and beneficial experience. A sunny day, a laugh with a friend, listening to music, hearing birdsong or enjoying a nice glass of wine! But it wouldn’t be life if it wasn't without negative experiences as well. We all have them at some time or another, to some lesser or greater degree. Our bodies and minds hold on to both positive and negative experiences. Holding on to the negative can be damaging, often causing us eventual poor health of some kind (Dis-ease). Reiki channels pure and positive energy into the recipient working to unblock and release anything negative held, thus creating free flow of Chi and allowing us to rebalance and realign. Our bodies are programmed to constantly repair and renew but external influences can affect that natural process and we can become depleted and run down. Reiki directs healing energy into our Chakras – key portals in our energetic systems. Not visible, but incredibly important for the free flow of our Chi connecting all of our organs, our nervous system and our mental balance.

Reiki has it’s own intelligence and will always work for your highest, greatest good.
