Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy, said to use natural energy flow for health and well-being.

It`s gentle nature means that Reiki is suitable for all ages.

Origins of Reiki

Reiki was developed in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 1900s.  After some time on Mount Kurama in meditative retreat, he experienced `satori`, which can be translated as `enlightenment`.

The word Reiki is Japanese for `universal life energy`and refers to method of healing in which energy is transferred from the giver to the receiver. Reiki energy is drawn through the channel, which is the therapist, by the recipient, rather than it being directed by the healer.

Dr Mikao Usui recognised the need to treat the mind as well as the body, and after further period of meditation, he was enlightened with the five principles of Reiki:

* Just for today I will not worry

* Just for today I will not be angry

* Just for today Iwill do my work honestly

* Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings

* Just for today I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing.

What happens during a Reiki Treatment?

Reiki may be used on the whole body or can be localised to a specific part of the body. A full body treatment can last between 45 to 90 minutes, with a localised treatment lasting approximately 20 minutes.

You will remain fully clothed and typically be asked to lie on a massage table or be seated in a chair. The therapist may need a few moments to enter a calm state and  then place her hands on or near various parts of the body, including the head, torso, knees and feet. The hands will remain in each position for up to three minutes before moving to the next position.

Some practioners may follow a fixed set of positions while others will use their intuition to guide movements to areas needing attention. You may feel warmth, tingling and deep relaxation.
