What is REIKI?

R E I K I (ray-key) is Japanese for "Universal Life Energy", and is also a word used to describe a system of natural healing, founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. 

Reiki treatment is a gentle, holistic method of healing and relaxation that can bring balance and harmony and promote a sense of well-being. 

It is widely accepted as a complimentary therapy. 

During Reiki treatment, the recipient remains fully clothed, comfortably lying on a couch or seated on a chair. Treatment is given by placing hands gently on recipient’s body in a pre-determined sequence of hand positions, spending several minutes holding each position. These hand positions are non-intrusive and cover both the front and back of the body and are sometimes varied to give Reiki to areas where it is specifically needed. If you find any of the hand positions uncomfortable, please let the practitioner know immediately. 

The touch is gentle, light and comfortable; it is not a massage treatment. 

The length and duration of Reiki treatment varies from person to person and can be of 30 to 75 minutes duration. 

Its real benefits are experienced over time and a course of upto 6 treatments is highly recommended for long-term benefits and change. 

Children will be offered treatment with parental consent 

There are no known contra-indications for Reiki.
