Natural Healing

Reiki (a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy) is a gentle, natural form of healing and the benefits are felt on all levels.  As a natural healing system, it can benefit everyone, from young babies to adults and is a safe, non-invasive treatment.  It can be used alongside conventional medicine and other complementary therapies.

Reiki can be given on a treatment couch or sitting in a chair, therefore making it an easy treatment to receive.
Reiki helps the body to reach an inner state of harmony, physically, mentally and spiritually.  It can help with physical ailments and promote the changing of any negative mental habits, turning these into more positive and productive thought patterns.

Treatments with Reiki reduce stress within the body, thereby inducing a state of relaxation so that the body can then begin the healing process.  When stress is being felt for a prolonged period of time, then the body can begin to be affected both physically and mentally, as it weakens the immune system.  Reiki can and does help with stress reduction, which has the added benefit of boosting the immune system.

A Reiki treatment

The client simply lies on a couch and relaxes, or the treatment can also be given in a sitting position. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through.  The therapist gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body.  A full treatment usually takes about an hour.
