- the gentle art of laying on of hands.
Both powerful and gentle, Reiki heals our energy body and brightens our spirit, creating many beneficial effects such as relaxation and feelings of peace, serenity and well-being. As a natural system of healing, Reiki has been shown to improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effect, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress and help create optimism.
When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is put their hands on the painful area. When a child falls and scrapes their knee, a mother wants to touch, or kiss it better, human touch conveys warmth, serenity, love, caring and healing. This simple act is the basis of all touch healing techniques, including Reiki.
Reiki is always beneficial and can be used on its own or complementary to all other types of therapy. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Treatment is non-invasive, delivered with love, attention and intention while you remain fully clothed throughout the session.
What to expect from a Reiki healing session?
During the treatment, you may experience great warmth from my hands and this is often the trademark of a Reiki treatment. This warm glow usually envelopes your whole body and has a wonderful peaceful and loving quality as it gently brings your systems into balance. Some clients even report falling asleep during a session as Reiki relax their overstressed energy systems.
After a session you can expect to feel more relaxed, centered and at peace. Depending on each person’s constitution, some may experience feelings of high energy or even euphoria while others may feel sleepy and need a nap afterwards to allow their systems to adjust to the healing. In both cases, honour your body with a short period of rest and recuperation to settle the treatment and increase maximum benefit.
During a session, I might incorporate different Reiki techniques to help you clear emotional upset, balance your chakras, calm mental turmoil, etc.
Depending on you situation, I also offer short, focussed Reiki treatments. Please see the sections on Chakra treatments and Aura treatments.
What conditions does Reiki heal or improve?
Recent research in the energy psychology field, established that our emotions are a direct indicator of the state of our energy system. When we experience any negative or unresolved emotional issues such as fear, worry, anxiety, stress, trauma, hurt, etc., in fact any emotions and feelings - small or large - that are not pleasurable, we are dealing with a damaged or ill-functioning energy system.
By healing and restoring an injured energy body through energy healing such as Reiki, we see an instant improvement in our mood, feelings and emotions. Thus, all emotional issues and conditions that have an emotional component, usually see significant improvement through using Reiki. It is even now suggested that up to 85% of all illness can be attributed to unresolved emotional issues.
What conditions does Reiki not heal?
Reiki does not heal or treat physical or mental conditions caused by physical events or injuries such as broken bones, wounds, cancer, flu, etc. If you have a serious medical condition, please seek proper medical attention first.
That said, if you suffer any emotional effects due to these physical conditions such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, fear or worries, then Reiki treatments will assist you in dealing with these. As the emotional component is relieved, clients often experience a relief in their physical condition to the point where only the actual physical condition remains to be treated accordingly.
Remember that we are only concerned with the energy body and as such do not diagnose, treat nor prescribe for any physical or mental illness as described and treated for through allopathic medicine. Any improvement of physical or mental conditions are considered a welcoming side effect of a properly functioning energy body.
My goal is to heal your energy body and brighten your spirit and this I do wholeheartedly and beautifully.
