Reiki
The work Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means ‘the Higher Power’ and Ki which is ‘life force energy’.
This therapy is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by ‘laying on hands’ and is based on the idea that an unseen ‘life force energy’ flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If our ‘life force energy’ is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki treats the whole person, including, body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects. These include, relaxation and a feeling of peace, security and wellbeing.
The recipient may sit or lie, and remain fully clothed, whilst the practitioner places their hands on or above certain parts of the body. There is no pressure on the body, making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions.
