A natural healing energy

Reiki - A Gentle Approach to Healing

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy which is used holistically to restore homeostasis (balance in your body).  Reiki's natural healing energy works on every level, not just the physical, and supports the body's ability to heal itself.

Developed in Japan by Mikao Usiu during the early part of the last century, the word "Reiki" means universal energy which is a common theme throughout eastern medicine.  In Japan the energy is known as Ki, in China its Chi and in India Prana.  Acupuncture, T'ai Chi, Qi Kung and Yoga are all based on achieving the free-flow of this energy.

What are the benefits of Reiki?

The healing energy of Reiki can be used in many ways and the benefits can be felt on different levels.  Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance emotions and liberate us from restrictive mental attitudes.

Reiki healing uses a gentle energy and can be used safely by all ages regardless of their state of health.  As a non-invasive therapy Reiki does not have any side effects and can be used in conjunction with conventional medication or natural remedies.

What to expect

A Reiki session is carried out with the client laying down, fully clothed, in a comfortable and peaceful setting. 

You will be asked to close your eyes and your therapist will talk you through a relaxation process.  Your therapist will then place their hands in a series of positions on or over your body.  Your body will draw whatever energy it needs.  During the session, the Reiki energy may be felt as heat, coolness, mild tingling, a flow of energy, a pulsing sensation or nothing at all.  Feeling nothing does not mean that the therapy is not working.

Reiki can be deeply relaxing, ease stress and have a calming effect.  It is best not to plan anything following your Reiki session and allow yourself to rest afterwards and drink plenty of water.

 

Safety
Reiki is an absolutely safe alternative therapy however it does not take the place of conventional medicine.  You should always consult your GP about acute, chronic or infectious conditions.  Reiki can work effectively alongside whatever treatment your GP recommends.

Reiki and Colonic Irrigation

Many people experience anxiety prior to their first colonic and for others, stress can be a contributory factor towards their condition, for example in cases of IBS.  Booking a short Reiki session prior to your colonic could help you to relax - and the more relaxed you are the better the therapy works. 

Cost of Reiki

Half hour session prior to a colonic  -  £15

One hour session - £35  (£30 if booked in conjunction with a colonic).
