Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki (pronounced “Ray-key”) is a simple Japanese energy-balancing method that is used by millions of people all over the world. It is most well known as a hands-on energy treatment technique, and many people have regular Reiki treatments.

Reiki was discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 1900s in Japan. 

People use Reiki for relaxation, self-healing, for spiritual–or self-development, and to treat others.

Those that practice Reiki are called Reiki Practitioners or Reiki Masters.

Reiki is not a religion and is open to all people regardless of race, religion or gender.

Anyone can benefit from a course of Reiki treatments, no matter your age or your state of health, and beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time.

Reiki can produce:

* Deep relaxation

* Reduced stress & anxiety

* Boosted energy levels

* A feeling of inner calm, contentment and serenity

* A speeding up of the natural healing process

Reiki can also help you to:

* Feel more positive, confident and better able to cope

* Deal better with stressful people and difficult situations

* Develop a strong sense of purpose and clear-thinking

* Remove some of the ‘clutter’ from your life

* Enjoy a better quality of life

Receiving Reiki from a Practitioner is a simple process. The client lies on a treatment table and the Practitioner will gently lay their hands on the body (or above the body) in a series of hand positions on the head, torso, and legs, sometimes hovering the hands rather than touching. Each hand position is held for a few minutes.

During the treatment, energy is drawn through the Practitioner into the recipient, helping to produce a state of balance. You might experience deep relaxation, tingling, heat from the Practitioner’s hands, or feel like you are floating. You might feel nothing: everyone is different.

The recipient remains clothed throughout the session.

While a one-off Reiki treatment is beneficial, bringing a sense of calm and peacefulness, and maybe producing some short-term physical benefits too, the best results come through having a course of treatments, maybe a few sessions at weekly intervals.

The effects of Reiki build up cumulatively, and having a course of treatments helps to produce long-term beneficial changes for you on many levels.
