Reiki

REIKI, pronounced “Ray Kee” is an ancient Japanese therapy, the literal meaning of Reiki translating as REI - the universal energy and KI - the fundamental life force.  The therapy disappeared for many years, until it was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui, who reignited and set up a process to transfer the knowledge, which is passed down from teacher to student through a special attunement process.  This process is believed to create and open channels for the energy to flow along. Reiki's main use is for stress reduction, relaxation, and promoting well-being and is becoming more widely accepted as a tool to deal with these problems. 

For those that have never experienced it, you will remain fully clothed and can choose to remain seated or relax and have the treatment on a therapy table.  Energy is transferred from the therapists hands to points above the clients body, so during treatment the you may experience various things, heat which is far in excess of what hands would normally generate, coldness, colours, involuntary movement of muscles, but in the main a huge sense of relaxation and well-being. Quite a few fall asleep and are more than surprised that their hour is up when they think they have only been there for a short times. I believe that Reiki energy goes where there is imbalance in the body and so assists to treat the whole person - body, emotions, mind, and spirit, and for many, creates a feeling of profound relaxation and peacefulness.  Excellent results have been seen in clients, particularly for stress related issues and depression and works well with traditional medical or therapeutic techniques to promote recovery, including assisting relief from side effects from some therapeutic drugs (such as those from chemotherapy). 

As I have mentioned Reiki works on a multitude of levels, sometimes following the first treatment, as with any holistic or energy therapy you may experience a flushing out of physical toxins and/or negative emotions. These are temporary effects which should clear within a short period of time, it is regarded as part of the detoxification process, eliminating blocked energy to support the healing process and clients are advised to take the recommended water intake over the few days following their treatment to assist in their rebalance - if it continues for longer than a few days then you probably have a bug, so where necessary seek medical advice. Whilst there have been so many who have benefited from the wonderful results from holistic therapies, we are all individuals, so reults are subjective and personal to each individual and so will vary from person to person.
