What is Reiki?

                                                                                               Rei means Spiritual. Ki means energy.

                                Reiki uses a special form of 'ki' (Japanese for Qi or energy) to rebalance and then charge the body's energy system.

                                Reiki is often described as a relaxation and meditation method that promotes healing.

 

Is Reiki harmful?

                                NO. There are no harmful side effects reported from Reiki healing. In fact Reiki has the ability to accelerate the

                                healing process. After a Reiki treatment you may feel better straight away or a little uneasy, as universal energy

                                tries to restore your natural energy balance. Ex: As wounds to our skin heal it gets a little itchy and uncomfortable,

                                this is when we know that the healing process is taking place. Reiki will start the healing process in the very first

                                session. During the days following your session, your body will continue the healing process. You can help this

                                process by spending at least 10 mins a day sitting quietly in meditation. By the second and third session people often

                                return saying how much better they feel in mind, body and spirit.

 

Before treatment.

                                If you have decided to attend a Reiki session well done. Please spend a few days prior to your session thinking about

                                what areas you feel needs working on. Mind/Emotions, Body/illnesses, Spirit/Life journey.

                                It is good practice to eat and drink healthy prior to coming. Feel free to explore Reiki on the internet or in books.

 

Actual Session.

                                Come in comfortable clothing. Reiki energy can move beyond clothing and jewelry

                                [however no electrical items to be worn]. You are welcome to bring a friend or family member to observe if you wish.

                                On the day of your session we will talk briefly about those areas you have thought about. All you need to do in your

                                Reiki session is come with a little faith that inner peace and harmony will come from your session.

 

 

 

 

Seven Major chakras.

 

How is Reiki channeled?

                                I will move my hands to each major and minor chakra from head to toe. Guided by universal energies, I will either

                                hover over a chakra or gently lay hands on you or your clothing. You will spend your healing time lying down on a

                                well padded Reiki table in meditation. It is often described as a pleasant relaxing time. You may feel some tingling,

                                stomach rumbling, twitches etc. According to many Asian and Eastern cultures, Reiki is channeled from universal energy,

                                in through your crown chakra [top of head] and down through other chakras throughout your body clearing energy blockages.

                                A Reiki treatment enables your energy to flow more freely from one part of your body to the next.

 

 

After treatment.

                                I will sit with you while you regain your awareness. No medical diagnosis is made in Reiki. It is common that emotions

                                or feelings can sometimes shift in the days following a treatment. This is nothing to worry about. Remember this is a sign     

                                that healing on many levels is taking place.

                           History.

                                upon request. I has been a spiritual teacher and guide to many people over past 20 years. Currently I operate a counseling
