FAQ about Reiki Therapy
 

What is Reiki, where does it come from and how does it work?
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy a vital force which permeates all living things. Reiki is also referred to as the Usui System of Natural Healing.  Reiki is a vibrational energy technique that balances, harmonizes and restores our energy systems by using the energy centers in the palms of the hands. The hands are placed gently and passively in different positions over or on the body, usually beginning at the head. Psychologically, an hour's treatment of Reiki is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep; this experience alone makes Reiki a very effective stress reliever.
Reiki is renowned for it's effectiveness in healing long-term and acute illnesses. A Reiki treatment will help to alleviate the roots of ill-health and stimulate a great feeling of general well-being.  Reiki treatments are also appropriate as a general tune-up or tonic in times of "normal" health.  Treatments are by appointment only.  There is no greater gift one can offer than the energy of Unconditional Love = Reiki

What do you feel during a Reiki treatment?

Usually, you will feel a pleasant warming heat on the area that is being treated. This deeply warming relaxation will enable energy blockages within the body to be released and these can show in many ways: such as the desire to continually swallow, cough or sneeze, a rumbling stomach or a rush of energy down the legs. These are great indications that the treatment is working and should not cause any concern. Some people may feel nothing during the treatment itself but this does not mean that it has not worked.

Reiki History
