Treatments, Workshops and Classes

Reiki is an ancient form of healing that harmonises body and mind. Resulting in deep relaxation, Reiki provides a holistic approach to emotional and physical complaints.

At the deepest level, Reiki roots out the cause of either physical disease or negative life situation by healing the negative emotions which caused the disease or unsatisfying life situation in the first place.

Reiki was re-discovered and developed towards the end of the nineteenth century by Dr Mikao Usui, who was, amongst other things, a Japanese Buddhist Monk. Dr Usui's quest gave the world one of the most amazing healing systems - Reiki. Its Japanese name translates broadly to 'Universal Life-force Energy'.

Reiki is powerful but gentle. In its long history it has been used to treat virtually every known disease or injury, even serious ones like multiple sclerosis, heart disease and cancer as well as cuts, bruises, broken bones, headaches, colds, flu, insomnia, impotence and depression. It works well alongside conventional medical and psychological treatments bringing about a marked improvement in results.

What is involved in a Treatment?
A treatment usually lasts between 60-90 minutes and involves the practitioner placing the hands around the body in order to channel universal life energy to the recipient. The recipient remains fully clothed and is usually lying down. It is possible to treat without touching the body, but we generally find the 'hands on' approach to be most successful.

What can I expect to feel during a treatment?
Reiki energy can sometimes feel like intense heat or tingling sensation; some even report that they feel as though they are floating or see vivid colours whilst receiving Reiki; the experience differs from person to person. The best results occur when you relax and simply enjoy the feeling of energy as it flows through your body.

Many races, cultures and religions are aware of the existence of this energy; for example the Chinese talk of Chi, Hindus of Prana and Christians of light. One of the wonderful things about Reiki is that it has no specific religious connection and can be practiced by anyone, whether religious or not.

Universal life energy is something we all have flowing through us (otherwise we would not be alive). However, due to surrounding life circumstances, many of us do not have enough, often resulting in stress, physical illness and numerous other life difficulties.

The deficit in life energy can be topped up through healing sessions and/or by becoming a Reiki channel, with incredible results.
