Reiki Healing Therapy

Reiki is a form of alternative therapy commonly referred to as energy healing, and is said to involve the transfer of universal energy from the Reiki practitioner’s palms to their patient.

Energy healing has been used for centuries in various forms. Advocates say it works with the energy fields around the body.

According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.

Energy healing aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to  acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body, can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.

This healing technique is based on the principle that your Reiki therapist can channel energy into your body by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes and restore physical and emotional well-being.

     -  In a peaceful setting, we have the patient lie comfortably on a table, fully clothed. There may or may not be music, depending on the patient’s preference.

     -  The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for between 2 and 5 minutes. The hands can be placed over 20 different areas of the body. 

      - While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, the transfer of energy takes place. During this time, the practitioner’s hands may be warm and tingling. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing.

       -  When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has abated, they will remove their hands and may place them over a different area of the body.
