Reiki
Reiki is an ancient, non-intrusive complementary therapy. A hands-on healing technique, it enhances the body’s own innate ability to heal itself on all levels. It helps restore balance and harmony to the mind, body and spirit.
How Reiki Can Help
Reiki is a great support in helping people deal with normal day to day issues in a relaxed way. People may find that they cope better with life issues and their energy is not as depleted along the way.
People with low self esteem and poor self-confidence levels may also note remarkable differences following
their treatments.
What happens in a Reiki session?
Reiki is best held in a peaceful setting, but it can be carried out anywhere. The patient will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed. There may or may not be music, depending on the patient’s preference.
The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for between 2 and 5 minutes. The hands can be placed over 20 different areas of the body.
If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the hands may be held just above the wound.While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, the transfer of energy takes place.
During this time, the practitioner’s hands may be warm and tingling. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing. When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has abated, they will remove their hands and may place them over a different area of the body.
