REIKI
What is Reiki?
Reiki originated from Japan at the turn of the 20th century by Mikao Usui. The word Reiki (pronounced ray key) can be split into two components. Rei meaning Universal and Ki (Qi Chi) meaning life force energy. This is energy of the highest and purest form, the very essence that supports and sustains life. Utilizing the methods within the Reiki System, the Reiki Practitioner transfers healing energy to another by laying of the hands.

​
What can I expect in a Reiki treatment?
On arrival a brief consultation with you to discuss any concerns or requests followed by treatment. Wear loose fitting clothing for your comfort. Soft relaxing music will be on to assist the relaxation response. Remaining clothed, you will lay on a padded treatment couch or you can be seated.
​
Before the session begins, your energy field will be scanned by placing hands over your body, known as the “Byonsen Scan”to access areas within your energy fields that may need healing. Then hands will be placed above or lightly over your “chakras” where the energy flows and Reiki energy will begin to flow.
​
Most Reiki sessions last for approximately 1 hour although your first appointment will take longer.
​
How does Reiki feel?
Each individual’s experience of Reiki is different from each other. However, many clients report that they feel calm, comfortable, relaxed and even tingly during the session. Some experience heat, see bright colors or specific images. The feeling of rest and relaxation will often last for many hours and sometimes days after a treatment.
​
What to do after your Reiki treatment?
After the treatment, drink lots of water, it is very likely that your body will detoxify and you might find that you have to visit the bathroom more frequently. To aid this process, it is therefore important that you continue to drink lots of water over the following few days and if you feel like it, take in more rest and relaxation. Observe your reactions, behavior, thoughts and feelings.
