Reiki is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is all around us. Reiki, when activated and applied for purposes of healing, addresses body, mind and spirit. It accelerates the body's ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the cause of disease and pain, the necessity for taking responsibility for one's life and the joys of balanced wellness. The Usui System of Reiki is a natural healing art which uses Reiki in these ways. 

History of Reiki

Reiki was born out of the experience and dedication of Dr. Mikao Usui,  a Japanese Christian educator who, in the late 19th century, responded to a challenge from his students  by undertaking an extensive study of the healing phenomena of history's greatest  spiritual leaders. Through travel, study, research and meditation, he evolved a healing system based on ancient Buddhist teachings written in Sanskrit. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching this method of natural healing, which usually involves the laying on of hands.

The Usui System of Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who are trained in the original traditions of Reiki and whose personal and professional lives are committed to this healing art and the lifestyle which it engenders.

Who Can Benefit From Reiki?

Everyone who wishes to change in some way and accepts that, though others can help, ultimately we re each responsible for our own healing and transformation.

Reiki gives you the awareness, courage and ability to change what can be changed and the wisdom to understand and accept what cannot be changed.

What Happens During a Treatment?

Before a Reiki treatment no medical history will be taken, so the only details provided by you will be contact details.

During a treatment you will relax, fully clothed, on a couch or seated while the practitioner moves around you placing hands in specific healing positions. There is no direct contact with personal areas of the body and there is no pressure on the body making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions. The Reiki energy flows wherever it is required.

A sensation of warmth, cold, or tingling may be experienced under the hands, accompanied by a general feeling of relaxation and well being.

Receiving Reiki is a very relaxing and soothing experience.

There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive a Reiki treatment, the only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.

A treatment session can last for an hour or 90 minutes.  A course of treatments may be taken.

What does the word 'reiki' mean?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a form of healing using universal life energy channelled through the practitioner to the recipient helping to harmonise body, mind and spirit.

Reiki  is a Japanese name consisting of 2 words. The word Rei means "universal," or present everywhere. Research into the esoteric meaning of the word reveals that it is more accurately interpreted to mean "spiritual consciousness" or "supernatural knowledge." This "God-consciousness" is said to be all-knowing, able to see the root of all problems and then heal them.  Many cultures, past and present have shared the belief in this unseen force and in the interconnectedness of all life. It is believed that one is more vulnerable to stress and illness when reserves of life energy are low.

"Ki" means life force energy. Other names for ki include Chi, as the Chinese call it, Ti or Ki in Hawaiian, and Prana in Sanskrit. Various cultures that recognize its existence have given it many other names.

As long as something is alive, ki circulates through it and around it. When ki dies, the life force departs and the organism dies. Ki is also the source from which emotions, thoughts, and spiritual life are drawn.

The Chinese have studied ki, or as they call it, "chi," for thousands of years and place great importance on it. One of their classic tomes lists thirty-two different kinds of chi and is over 4,000 years old.

Ki is also used by practitioners of the martial arts for mental development and physical training. It is used in Pranayama (meditative breathing exercises) and by shamans in many cultures for divination, psychic awareness, and healing.
