What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for reducing stress and promoting a sense of relaxation and wellbeing. It also promotes healing. Reiki is gentle, natural and safe.
How does Reiki work?
Your body has a life force, or energy field. Most of us can’t see it, but it’s there. Sometimes – as in illness or trauma – the energy field can get disrupted. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and restoring them back to positive energy.
Is Reiki safe?
Yes. In traditional Western medicine, the healer “diagnoses” a problem then seeks to remedy it. Reiki does not work in this way. The practitioner does not diagnose anything, and nor does she try to direct treatment. Instead, she works to restore the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Your body, mind and spirit then do the rest.
Is Reiki a replacement for traditional Western medicine?
No. However, many clients find that Reiki beautifully complements their existing medical treatments by easing chronic pain, fatigue and, in some cases, allowing them to reduce their usage of certain prescription medicines. This has been our experience with Ella. Never change your prescribed medicine usage without your doctor’s approval, however.
Is Reiki for people who are unwell?
Everyone can benefit from Reiki. If you are unwell, you should experience an easing of your symptoms, such as pain and tiredness, and even improvement in your underlying condition. If you are in good health, Reiki is an ideal way to lift your body to new levels of energy and peace. Many healthy people report that only after experiencing Reiki do they realise how low their energy levels had become. We get very used to operating at a certain level, and eventually it becomes “normal”. Reiki can help you rediscover the boundless energy you were born with!
