The use of Reiki energy to facilitate and promote the body's natural regenerative processes. It is usually transferred with the practitioner's hands resting gently on the body or non-contact where appropriate, such as tender wounds or sexually sensitive areas. Other techniques enable a treatment to be given without the client being present. A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied. Clothes are not removed as the energy will pass easily through them. A treatment is usually carried out with the recipient lying down or sitting, in a relaxing environment and on average lasts about an hour.

A recipient may experience a wide range of sensations such as gentle tingling, heat, cold, or not feel anything at all. At times there may be a release of emotion as part of the re-balancing process, and this is considered very healthy. A treatment is perfectly safe and can by used alongside conventional medical treatments. It can never do harm as the recipient draws the energy through the practitioner , taking only what is required, the Reiki practitioner acts only as a channel for the energy which will act where it is needed. The Reiki energy relaxes and de-stresses, and can be used on people, animals and plants.

Can anyone learn Reiki?

The ability to channel Reiki cannot be learnt from a book or by instruction. To be able to receive Reiki, students go through a special initiation which 'attunes' them to the Reiki energy. Over time this connection is improved through practice, and by actually using the Reiki energy themselves - typical known as 'self treatment'. It is considered essential to treat oneself with Reiki, and indeed many people use it exclusively for reasons of personal development, healthcare and stress-management. I am a qualified Jikiden Practitioner and as such treatments are
available.

The attunement initiation

An initiation/attunement can only be performed by a Reiki Master (teacher). It is felt that this process harmonises a person with the Reiki energy so they can receive and pass it on to others. This process is not exclusive, anyone can be attuned/initiated to Reiki regardless of their spiritual or religious beliefs. Additional stages of attunements/ initiations and the use of the Reiki symbols, further enhance the practitioner's ability to utilise the Reiki energy, focusing it for specific purposes.

Reiki 1 is learnt primarily for self treatments, family and animals.

Reiki 2 gives you more knowledge and takes you to Practitioner status.

Reiki 3 achieves Master Status and allows the teaching of Reiki.

Reiki 1 and 2 Workshops are completed over a weekend, and include a manual and certificate.

The Journey to Reiki 3 takes much longer, this will also need to be discussed.

Animals and Reiki

To date I have treated dogs, cats, horses, fish, birds, lizards and hedgehogs. All have had results which never fail to amaze me, as you cannot auto suggest to an animal (not that I do with people). Seeing is believing, they know when they feel better. Fees for this therapy are on an individual basis.
