What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese wellness technique which aids relaxation and reduces stress.
How does Reiki work?
Reiki is performed by a practitioner placing their hands on or slightly above their client in a series of non-invasive hand positions. During a session, Reiki energy is channeled by and flows through the hands of the practitioner and into the energy body of the client. As a truly holistic healing method, the whole person is treated rather than specific areas.
Reiki promotes healing by activating the relaxation response which helps the body to heal and balance itself at a deep level. It is important to note that Reiki energy is intuitive and intelligent. It will always flow where it is needed most.
What does Reiki feel like?
Reiki sessions are very individual and each person experiences Reiki differently depending on their needs at that time. Most people experience deep relaxation.
Some experience Reiki as sensations of heat, tingling or may experience seeing colours. You may feel like you are floating or sinking.
Others can have an emotional response, indicating that shift are taking place, allowing balance to be restored.
