What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient form of hands on healing which helps balance and strengthen the body's natural healing abilities, while creating deep relaxation , and a sense of calm and peacefulness.

As Marion, Dublin, describes her "inspirational experience of Reiki"

"My experience with Reiki is very positive. From a sensational tingling of the energy flow to waves of energy rolling up and down, a very relaxing and most enjoyable treatment, that also has stimulated my energy centres and pulled loose some blockages"

Feel the stress and tension of your daily life melt away as you relax and benefit from the healing power of Reiki.

Reiki is a non-invasive technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes deep physical and emotional healing. It involves the laying on of hands by the Reiki practitioner in a series of hand positions that span the whole body, while concentrating on our seven main chakras.

Reiki is a Japanese word:

Rei: meaning knowledge or spiritual consciousness. This is the wisdom that comes from God or the higher self. This universal energy knows the cause of all problems and how to heal them.

Ki: Life force, the non physical energy that animates all living things.

Therefore Reiki is spiritually guided Life Force Energy.

What is Life Force Energy?

Everything in the universe is energy. "Sounds, words, shapes, thoughts and emotions are all energy" (Wilma Ferguson, Reiki Master)

Life Force Energy is the life giving energy that flows in and around our body, and in our seven main chakras, the centres of Life Force Energy.

We are alive because Life Force Energy is flowing through us through our energy pathways - meridians and chakras. It flows in our aura - the energy field which surrounds our body.Life Force Energy nourishes our organs and cells, supporting them in their functions.
When Life Force Energy is flowing freely it helps maintain health and vitality and a sense of well being. When the flow of Life Force Energy is disrupted, weakened or blocked this results in diminished function of the organs and cells and we are more prone to illness, stress and depression.

Life Force Energy is responsive to thoughts and feelings.

Negative thoughts and feelings which arise from situations of emotional and or physical trauma, toxicity, nutritional depletion, stress, anxiety, lack of self love, unhealthy lifestyle or relationships all have the effect of disrupting the flow of Life Force Energy. As the negative thoughts and feelings disrupt the flow, Life Force Energy can become stagnant and blocked and remains in the aura as dense energy.
This further blocks the flow and compounds the causes of the blockage, contributing to the build up of stress, lethargy, illness, depression and physical ailments.Reiki heals by flowing through the aura and flowing through the affected areas, charging them with positive energy.
In this way the negative energy is cleared, thus restoring the free flow of Life Force Energy. Clients often comment that they feel lighter and refreshed after a treatment. I have seen clients come in looking tired, but leaving with a brighter complexion and clearer eyes.

Reiki healing balances and strengthens the body's natural energy and promotes the body's ability to heal itself, and seeks to restore the body's vital energy which has become unbalanced.
