Reiki
What is Reiki?
As a treatment, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing modality originating from ancient Japan.
Rei – spirited or sacred
Ki – life force
Reiki actually refers to universal life force energy. It is what all living things have flowing through their body and energy body (aura) which gives us our vitality, our brightness or sometimes called our spirit. When reiki is freely flowing, our body, mind and spirit are said to be in homeostasis – in perfect balance and at ease. We have good health, peace and clarity of mind and confidence to live our best life.
However, our daily life experiences can bring worry, doubt, fear, anger, confusion…unhelpful emotions which obstruct or block the free flow of reiki. If left unprocessed, these unhelpful emotions may manifest as physical symptoms eg palpitations, digestive issues, heart burn etc. They may also affect how ‘chirpy’ we are in our social relationships. We are said to have dis-ease in our holistic self.
Reiki practitioners have been attuned by a Reiki master to connect to universal energy and channel it to help clear their client’s ki pathways, allowing their body to regain homeostasis.
Reiki and how it works
The Chakra System is the collection of energy centres which are located all over our body, the main ones are shown in the image below. Each centre corresponds to a body organ and an emotional/social characteristic.
Each chakra resonates with a colour and crystals of that colour are incorporated into the treatment.
A Reiki treatment works with the chakras to bring clearance, healing and re-balance.
