“Universal Life Force Energy”
Reiki pronounced “Ray Key” is a lying on of hands technique, which is thousands of years old.
It is thought to have been used by Tibetan Buddhist Monks and was re-discovered by Dr Mikao Usui who lived in
Japan in the last century. The Usui System of Reiki is a very simple but powerful form of healing,
which is easily given and received by anyone.
Dr Usui developed his healing system after many years of study, research and meditation. He then spent the rest of his life practicing and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the traditions passed down from master to Student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki, anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki Treatment. Plants, trees, fish, birds and any living animal needs vital life force to sustain them, so all respond well to Reiki, My cat loves receiving Reiki.
It is possible with a Reiki Treatment to work on many symptoms at any level, whether it is Mental, Physical, Emotional or Spiritual. Pain or injuries can be helped to heal quickly, but more chronic illnesses take longer. Reiki empowers you to take responsibility for your life, helping you to make necessary changes in attitude (or lifestyle) for a happier future.
Reiki heals what is out of balance, Reiki has an intelligence all of its own, the energy goes where it is needed most-to the deepest level of imbalance, to the place where illnesses have their origins. It is not necessary to direct it to only physical symptoms. One session initiates your body’s natural healing capacity, more will be even more beneficial, and Reiki also helps to maintain good general health. Reiki is suitable for all ages (shorter sessions are advisable for children).
To receive a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is very simple. The recipient lies down on a couch or if this is not possible in a comfortable chair. The recipient remains fully clothed, the Reiki “Universal Life Force” energy passes through plaster and fibreglass casts. The Practitioner then gently places their hands in a non-intrusive way in a sequence of positions that will cover the whole body, treating the whole body rather than any symptoms they may have. A treatment can take between thirty to ninety minutes and is found very relaxing. The first session begins after noting your personal history and hearing what you would like to be healed.
Relax and enjoy the benefits-you may feel warm, tingly sensations or see colours, most people and children simply feel deeply relaxed and experience a sense of inner peace or calm, animals will more so, the healers hands are directed to the right place. My cat jumps off my lap when she feels she has had enough healing. Reiki healing can be given any time, anywhere as no special equipment is needed. The Practitioner is a channel that the energy is drawn through by the need or imbalance in the recipient.
The gift of Reiki can be attained in one weekend. Students attending a course and attunement for First Degree level will be ‘attuned’ or ‘initiated’ to the energy by a Reiki Master Teacher, who will also teach the sequence of hand positions for treating oneself and friends and family and how to treat animals and plants.
