WHAT IS REIKI

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy - Rei meaning 'Universal' and Ki meaning 'Life Energy'. It is a healing therapy that works on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level to restore our energy balance, realign our energy points (known as the Chakras), and promote holistic health.

This natural healing technique is delivered by the therapist using a 'hands on', or just above the body ('hands off') approach covering different positions of the receivers body. The Reiki therapist acts as a channel, sending the universal, or 'life force energy' to the receiver, reaching the areas that need support; soothing pain and helping the body’s natural healing process. It's like re-charging our own 'battery' cell!

Our lives are full of deadlines, hassles, frustrations and demands from work, finances, family & relationships. For many, stress has become the ‘norm’ and therefore a way of life. Life can be so chaotic sometimes, we barely have time to think! We wear many hats and play different roles throughout each day, usually with the aim to please others that we forget to stop and check in with ourselves. In small doses, stress can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best, however beyond a certain point, stress starts to send the body into dis-ease and in turn causes major damage to your health, your mood, productivity, relationships, and your quality of life. 

Trauma throughout life can also cause the chakras to fall out of alignment, preventing us from moving forward and repeating patterns in our lives to occur, keeping us on a negative feedback loop. Reiki can help put us back on track. The treatment is delivered silently too so if you can’t express your feelings, or do not wish to, that is absolutely fine as you can benefit from a session.

In essence, Reiki works by rebalancing the body's energy flow; it removes blockages within the body which have have built up over time resulting in physical pain, stress, emotional worries and the inability to move forward. It is a delivery system that gives the body space to carry out its healing process. A Reiki treatment can complement conventional healthcare and promote a sense of balance and harmony in your life. 

Distance Reiki is delivered exactly the same way as in person, the only difference is we are not in the same room! I will create an alter dedicated to you and when we have agreed a specific time to begin I will connect energetically before starting the session.  

Although you can’t see them, radio waves are around us, all of the time, carrying information. Just like wi-fi or mobile phone waves such as electromagnetic, microwaves etc, Reiki can be described in a similar way with the exception that it is the pure life force energy being delivered and is of great benefit to you.

The person lays fully clothed on an extremely comfy couch with blankets and pillows to support them. I give the treatment mainly hands off but I may make contact here and there providing you're comfortable with this. I may use sound and crystals as another healing aid for further support.

As we are all unique, ones experience will be differ to someone else's and can vary each session, however the reports I have received from clients is a feeling of warmth or coolness, a buzzing or vibration on certain areas of the body. A sense of floating or levitating. A sense of lightness, motivated with more clarity; an energy shift into a positive mindset. Some have reported seeing an array of colours throughout the session but the most common is the deep sense of peace and relaxation.

All that is required is to lay on a comfy couch (or be seated if you prefer) and feel complete relaxation. Pillows and blankets will be provided however if you would like to bring your own then please do.

For a distance session it is recommended that you find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, light a candle, perhaps with some gentle music in the background and wrap up in a cosy blanket - make it a special sanctuary just for you.
