The beauty of this work is it’s gentleness. Translated as ‘Universal Life Energy’ Reiki naturally realigns your energy system bringing greater flow and health into your life and being. A deep form of energy healing which works on your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, the energy flows through the practitioner’s hands as they place them gently either on your body or just above.
All you have to do is breathe and receive
Reiki Energy flows as water. Lifting and dissolving energetic blockages, old and no longer useful experiences, that which we need to let go of in order to move forward into who and what we in essence truly are.
It is a powerful accompaniment to psychotherapeutic therapies as it helps to separate out identification with behaviours, providing perspective and an ease in letting go as the energy does most of the work.
And it also assists the body’s natural healing processes helping it process any physical trauma’s being worked through. It can be used alongside any medical treatments as it helps your system integrate the healing being activated by medicines and surgeries.
Reiki Energy generates a sense of deep peace, calm and well-being as you are plugged directly into the source of all life. That which binds all particles together and us as humans into the web of all being.
It can however, also be an emotionally difficult experience. Bringing to the surface emotions long buried and uncomfortable to experience such as anger, sadness, grief, fear, shame, deep core woundings.
The secret is to remember that these are emotions – Energy in Motion, and the Reiki Energy is simply enabling their release in a way which is safe and productive to your well-being.
During the sessions, many clients experience a deep trance like state where they enter into an almost waking dream, seeing images and having memories rise to the surface of their concious.
Some people experience a twitching in the limbs as the energy starts releasing old blockages and past tensions which are finally allowed to pass through rather than being held onto.
And some consciously experience not much at all or a state they connect with sleep. However the beauty of Reiki is that it is operating below our conscious state, working with our whole system beneath the mind in order to realign and reawaken our connection with the full experience of being alive.

Whatever the reason you feel drawn to this work, let me know and we can talk through what you are looking for, what you might expect and how Reiki could be of use to you in your particular situation. Drop me an email or give me a call and I’ll be happy to discuss working with you on whatever it is that’s coming up for healing.
Sessions last from an hour to two hours with time for healing and talking in balance for your needs. There will always be a little time either side to arrive, settle in and take time to return after your journey into your Self.
