REIKI

An ancient form of energy healing with origins extending back into ancient India and more recently Japan and then the West. Rei translates approximately as divine or ‘higher’ and Ki is the Japanese word for life force which in Chinese is called Qi, pronounced chee. The Japanese word for this energy is Ki, pronounced ‘Ki’.

A reiki session involves the practitioner creating a safe space where the healing energy or ‘Ki’ is channeled into and through the recipients body and auric fields via a series of hand holds on and above different acupressure locations across the front and back of the body. The therapist helps to balance the energy function of the recipients energy system, dissipating excess and enhancing areas of depletion. A typical reiki treatment is 60 minutes. Reiki is highly effective for helping alleviate stress and tension which in turn promotes better sleep and well being. You will feel deeply relaxed, calm and centred in the hours and days after the treatment.

I qualified in reiki 1 & 2 in 1998 and Master Teacher level in 2006.
