    What is Reiki healing?

    Reiki is a Japanese technique used for relaxation and the reduction of stress. It is also well-known and used to promote healing within the body.

    A healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

    The technique is based on the principle of an unseen life force energy. It is practiced by laying hands on an area of the body and allowing the life force energy to flow freely for people to feel alive. It is thought when energy is low, people are more likely to be ill or stressed, and when it is high, people are likely to be well and happy. Treatments produce feelings of peace, security and wellness.

    It is believed that Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist monk, climbed a holy mountain in the late nineteenth century after an extensive research into ancient scriptures. He fasted, meditated on sacred symbols and mantras, and suddenly on the twenty-first day, had an epiphany, where he found himself surrounded by a beam of light in the forehead. At that moment, he was spiritually awakened and discovered the miraculous healing technique, which he called Rei Ki, with Rei meaning 'Universal' and Ki meaning 'life force'. Since then, millions of people around the world swear by this almost 100-year-old healing technique.

    How it works

    Reiki is based on the pre-scientific belief that an unseen 'life force energy (prana) animates the living. "When this energy is low, one is more likely to feel sick and unhappy and if it is high, one may feel healthy and happy".

    "Reiki removes blocks to the flow of energy in our body and facilitates balance and support on all levels that can help to cure stress, discomforts and even chronic diseases."
