Reiki

... a powerful and gentle healer

Reiki - imageReiki is a Japanese healing art / technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including the physical body, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many who have experienced reiki have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during what is known as an "attunement" given by a Reiki master, which allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.

Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Reiki Treatments

Receiving a Reiki treatment is as easy as relaxing, but you will relax at a level that you may have never experienced before! Reiki treatments normally last about one hour but can also include shorter “spot treatments”. Reiki gives your body the energy it needs to heal itself. While you are fully clothed, on a couch, massage table or seated upright, the healer holds his hands on or above you. There is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions, sometimes hands are even held away from the body. The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body. Receiving Reiki is a natural stress-reliever, and a very relaxing and soothing experience!

Pre and Post Surgery

For medical situations where surgery is required, a minimum of 3 treatments is recommended prior to surgery in order to prepare the body and the emotional body for what it will undergo. After surgery, another three treatments are recommended to enhance and assist the healing process.
