Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique created by Mikao Usui, in which the practitioner uses their hands either directly on or slightly above the body to bring about healing with the person receiving treatment.
Reiki is used as a way to manage symptoms and improve general well-being, and has even been used as a supportive complementary therapy for cancer patients in hospitals and hospices
Reiki is not a cure for illness or disease.
The word Reiki itself translates to Universal life force energy. Energy can become blocked within the body through physical or emotional pain, and over time these energy blocks can cause illness and distress. Reiki is given through the practitioner to aid in relaxation of the body, mind and spirit, to restore physical and emotional well-being, and has been known to relieve pain, speed healing, aid in relaxation promoting deep sleep, and reduce symptoms of some illnesses, bringing peace and clarity to minds of those receiving healing.
What happens during your Reiki session with me?
Your Reiki healing treatment with me is held in a quiet, confidential setting, or your own home by prior agreement. On your first visit we talk through a series of questions that will enable me to give you a personalised healing session
During your sessions you are fully clothed throughout, and on my therapy couch or chair, and we begin when you are ready
Each session begins with a short relaxation, some deep, releasing breaths to centre and ground yourself into the present moment, and to open your Mind, Body and Spirit to receive Reiki healing.
Your session always begins with a byosen body scan to determine which areas require more attention to cleansing and healing, and then Reiki healing begins as I place my hands gently upon your head, or slightly above if a hands off healing experience is preferred
I spend time giving Reiki to each area of your body and energy centres (also termed chakras) of which time spent will have been determined from your consultation, the body scan, and during the Reiki healing session itself
Your Reiki session with me typically lasts 50 minutes. You are of course able to talk throughout, though it is advised that if you can, to lay quietly, with your eyes closed, to fully immerse yourself into the healing experience, and to gain the most benefit from the peace, relaxation and clarity it brings
FAQ's
- What is a Byosen body scan?
Byosen itself translates to Accumulation of Sickness. A byosen body scan is a powerful feedback mechanism for the practitioner as it informs where there may be stagnant energy to be released and where Reiki is most needed. It is performed by the practitioner holding their hands above the body of the person receiving healing and moving slowly the length of the body. The experienced practitioner will receive information through means of physical sensation in their hands such as feeling pulled like a gentle magnet, changes in temperature, other physical sensations, or intuition as to the areas requiring most attention.
- Will I feel anything physically or emotionally?
You may experience sensations such as a gentle tingling similar to that of slight pins and needles, you may feel a change in temperature in areas of your body or all over, this could be a warm or a cold feeling, You may also feel different emotions arise throughout as the energy releases. You could experience visions in your minds eye, dancing displays of colours has been a common theme for many clients. You could also experience no emotional or physical sensations at all, this is nothing to be concerned about, and it does not mean that Reiki healing isn't working for you, it will be, regardless of what you may or may not feel. Each session will be different.
- How should I prepare for my Reiki sessions?
It is best to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Always try to arrive with an empty bladder as you will wish to enable yourself to lay comfortably whilst you are enjoying your relaxation. Always ensure to drink plenty of water after your session as your body will be clearing out the previous stagnant energy, and you will want to help your body release this quickly and efficiently.
