Reiki (pronounced “Ray-Key”) is an ancient art of natural healing developed by Dr Mika Usui in the 1800’s. “Rei” meaning universal, “Ki” meaning the life force in all living things. Reiki practitioners are attuned by Reiki Masters to enable them to activate the “Universal life force energy” and can be used as a channel for healing. Reiki does not belong to any religion and is practiced by many different walks of life.

The recipient, fully clothed either lies on the couch or sits in the chair and the practitioner places their hands on or above the specific energy centers over the whole body. This then activates the body’s own ability to heal itself, releasing energy blocks, stress, cleansing the body of toxins and promoting a state of balance and well being. Reiki energy also goes to a deeper level where illnesses have their roots.

Anyone can receive Reiki – young or old, whether recovering from illnesses or surgery or simply to maintain optimum health. The recipient often falls asleep and after treatment feels calm a refreshed.
