Reiki is a beautiful healing modality that is done while you are laying down or sitting up. It is done with your clothes on and it can either be done with hands on or off your body.

Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is the unseen life force energy that flows all around us. It is the energy that helps to maintain the balance in all living things.  When it is out of balance or the flow of Reiki energy is blocked, this is when illnesses can occur.  Receiving a Reiki treatment helps to bring your energy back into balance which will enable your body to heal itself more efficiently.  Whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual Reiki will be able to help you. You can receive Reiki no matter what your belief system is and it can help you at all points in your life.

What is Reiki?

How does Reiki work?

Reiki works on the four levels of the mind, body and spirit to help each individual find their natural balance.

The physical Body

Reiki can help heal you on the physical level by activating your body’s natural ability to heal itself and can speed up the healing process. This can be by helping to alleviate pain or to help you to manage pain better. It can help to balance other symptoms and help the body to release toxins. This can help you to feel more positive and have a sense of inner peace. It can also help you see areas within your health where you need to make changes to help yourself to heal. For example, needing more sleep or changing your diet.

The Mental Level

The mental level is your thoughts and outlook on life. Reiki can help to recognise that we can become the thoughts we have. We can begin to see that our thoughts and our outlooks are energy. Reiki can help you to see the impact our negative thinking can have on us. With this knowledge you can change your thought patterns and as a result change the energetic flow. These changes can help you become more in tune and connected to your needs and the needs of others.

The Emotional Body

Reiki can help with your feelings and emotions. Suppressed emotions are a big cause of blocked energy within our bodies and we are not always taught how to release it. Reiki can help us to look at our negative emotional responses and be able to gently find a way to release them. Letting go of trapped emotions creates space for change and for you to feel more positive emotions.

The Spiritual Level

This is all about loving yourself and loving others.

Reiki acts like unconditional love that flows through your energetic system. This helps to promote more feelings of love and compassion towards the self, and others, as well as the world around us. This can help you to be much more spiritually aware of our interconnectedness.
