Reiki.

Reiki is a Japanese word pronounced Ray-Key. It means universal life force, or universally guided energy. It is a very simple system of healing carried out by placing the hands on, or over a person (fully clothed) with the intent to channel Reiki. It is thought to have been practised for thousands of years and was rediscovered in the 19th century by Dr Mikao Usui of Japan who passed down these findings from Master to student over the years. Now there are thousands of Reiki teachers and practitioners trained in this healing art.

Reiki offers the perfect opportunity for tension, stress and imbalances to be gently released and a state of total relaxation in the body and mind to arise naturally. It is a powerful but gentle system of natural healing and supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. Its a non intrusive treatment which can soothe away many different troubles for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing.

Chakra.

CHAKRA is the Sanskrit word for Wheel. Chakras are constantly whirling as they take in and give out energy. When they are all functioning well and harmoniously, our energy is good and well balanced. In this state we should feel centred and well. Each Chakra also relates to an emotional and spiritual aspect of the person. They can be thrown out of balance for both physical and emotional reasons; e.g. junk food and addictions, shock, grief or anger.

If the chakras are disturbed, they must be balanced once more. Quite often the body can do this unaided but there are times when additional help is needed, don't hesitate to ask for help, as the body is an amazing 'machine' that needs assistance and maintenance to keep strong.

The Treatment.

This treatment begins with a body relaxation exercise, lying down on the couch, wrapped loosely in a blanket, followed by hands on body (fully clothed) covering the 7 chakras that run down the front and back of the spine - each relating to an area of the body, channelling the energies. Relaxing music will be played. The treatment time is usually 50 minutes but can sometimes take slightly longer.
