What is Reiki

Reiki (pronounced RAY KEY) is the USUI system of healing. ‘REI’ is the Universal Energy, and ‘KI’ is the lifeforce energy. When your lifeforce energy is high and flowing freely, you are healthy, and happy. If your lifeforce energy is low, you are vulnerable to illness, depression and stress. Reiki works on all bodily levels, the physical body, the mental body and the body of your spirit. An input of pure energy, which accelerates the body’s natural ability to heal physical ailment, and dis-ease. Reiki is a simple and natural form of hands on healing. Reiki powerfully calms, soothes and relaxes, easing discomfort and relieving pain. When stress fades, peace replaces it and the body’s natural means of repair can work more efficiently. When giving a healing the Reiki energy flows through these opened channels (Chakras) and peace and harmony is restored in areas of imbalance in the body, mind and spirit. Reiki is used to heal and alleviate you of blocked energies. The Universal Energy is allowed to begin to move through you. The energy can release, activate and transform as needed, harmonising and balancing on the mental, physical and emotional levels. It brings a wonderful sense of peace and stillness, and is deeply relaxing and energising. Worries and fears, tension and pain are eased and the body's natural ability to heal itself is magnified. Reiki works beautifully on its own and complements traditional and alternative medicine by often promoting a faster healing process (speeds up recovery). Reiki is not a religion and requires no particular belief system. Reiki treatment can be seen as ‘an influx of Universal Energy that encourages the patient to heal themselves’. Blissful!
