Reiki - The Gentle Art of Healing Hands - relax, de-stress and heal

What is Reiki?

Did you ever look at your own hands and wonder … what is this ability that some people seem to have to give healing through their hands?

We know that in all cultures and religions throughout the ages there have been members of the community with this ability.  There seem to have been differing attitudes towards “those that can”  - varying from suspicion to reverence.

Sometimes those healing hands have been used for people, sometimes for animals, and other times for plants, earth healing and …. is there a limit? In the end, it all depends on what you believe.

In the Now of human history, Reiki brings you the opportunity to experience not only the receiving of healing from someone else with this ability, but to experience the activating of that ability in your own hands.  You can do this.  There is no pre-requisite - no prior belief that it works, no past experience.  All you need is your willingness and the decision to have this for yourself. Bringing Reiki into your life can:

One and a half hours where I start by activating the Reiki energy in your own system/hands, then you get onto the massage table and I deliver the reiki healing energy to your system as above. 


Introduction to Reiki

In the early 1900's a Japanese man, Dr Mikao Usui, reconnected with a unique healing energy that he called Reiki. This Japanese word (pronounced Ray Kee) translates loosely into English as Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki is passed on from Reiki Master to student via a series of four "Attunements" (each attunement being a 10-15 minute session where  you sit quietly in a chair while I do some specific energy work around your body and in your energy field) , after which you will have Reiki in your system for the rest of your Life!

Once Reiki has been activated in your system you can direct it at will to treat not only yourself and others but also animals and plants.  Some people use Reiki when working with crystals.  In the advanced levels Reiki can be used to direct healing and harmony across time and space.

Anyone can do this, young or old.  Even those who are very sick can use this system, as they are not using up their own personal energy.   In fact every time you give Reiki you benefit from its passage through you.

Reiki at times can be experienced as a gentle flow of energy, at other times as a raging torrent - sometimes subtle, sometimes extremely dynamic.  What is consistent is that the Reiki is always there, instantly available for whatever task is at hand, whether it be needed on the physical, emotional mental or spiritual level.

Receiving a Reiki Treatment: on the casual level, this could be between 10 and 30 minutes, maybe sitting in a chair or lying down, no special conditions required other than the receiver can be relaxed, any time, any place.

As a Structured Treatment, this is usually a relaxing, clothes on, one hour session during which time the Reiki practitioner places their hands for approx. 5 minutes in a series of positions around the body, including any trouble spots the person might have.  It is generally recommended that a person experiencing Reiki for the first time plan on receiving three sessions to get the maximum benefits from it.

Receiving a Reiki Treatment is usually experienced as a deep, calm timeless space from which a person or animal emerges refreshed and relaxed

Reiki for Animals: While a good number of the people who choose to bring Reiki into their lives are intending to use the Reiki healing for themselves and for other people, there are a great number of people now using this form of healing for animals.   In fact there are hundreds of people out there who work exclusively with animals, bringing the Reiki in beside other forms of alternative veterinary practices and treatments or in some cases just using the Reiki, as well as thousands of people who use Reiki on their animals as part of their daily care.

Second Degree Reiki Seminar

2nd Degree Reiki further accelerates your personal growth on all levels.  At this advanced level of Reiki you will learn to use symbols (specific Reiki energy patterns) to strengthen your existing Reiki and further empower and intensify the Reiki treatments you are already doing.  This level is particularly important to professional practitioners as these tools will also allow you to treat from a distance, treat many people at once, and potentise other therapies and remedies.  

3A Reiki Seminar

This can be used to introduce people to Reiki, give "booster" attunements to Reiki practitioners, and further enhance treatments.

My Reiki Background

In my early twenties I started looking at different healing modes.  Starting out on a path of self discovery I looked inside and out for

my own special purpose in life.In 1990, when I attended a 1st degree Reiki seminar (which just happened to be on my birthday) I decided that I would one day be a Reiki Master.  It was obvious to me that from that day on Reiki would be an important part of the rest of my life.  And so it has been.

Hawayo Takata (the first female Reiki Master, and the person  who brought Reiki from Japan to the western world) wrote:

“I believe there exists One Supreme Being – the Absolute Infinite – a Dynamic Force that governs the world and universe ....... Different teachers and masters call (Him) the Great Spirit; the Universal Life force; Life Energy....... I shall call it “Reiki” because I studied under that expression.”   (Quoted from her early diary, published in the Reiki Alliance booklet).

I constantly find myself in deep gratitude for the gift that Reiki has been in my life.  It has opened my eyes, my heart and my mind to experiencing new levels of being, living and loving, and I feel deeply privileged to be in a position to now be offering the Reiki experience to you.

I leave you with the Meiji Emperor's Five Principles for Healthy Living that Mikeo Usui adopted in his life and promoted to his students as the way to achieve the great happiness and tranquility of the sages:
