Reiki Energy Healing

Reiki is a system of natural healing involving the laying on of hands and is thousands of years old. It is believed to have been used by Tibetan monks around 2500 years ago and was rediscovered by a Japanese monk    Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800's.

The practice of Reiki is believed to have come from ancient Sanskrit texts that Usui then developed into a healing system. The word Reiki is Japanese for Universal Energy.

The belief in a universal background energy permeating everything in the universe is widely held in all cultures e.g. Chinese Chi. Indian Prana and Christian the Light

Acupuncture, Chi Quong,Tai Chi and Yoga are all based on manifesting the free flow of energy around the body and thereby enhancing the well being of the person by stimulating their own healing systems. After all we are self healing organisms. All we have to do is make sure we do all the right things to help our mind/body carry out the task of maintaining optimum health. Thus our task is to ensure that the body gets adequate rest and nutritious food, exercise, love and is kept as far as possible free of prolonged stress.

In our modern world it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain this holistic approach to our health. Reiki is a wonderful stress buster especially when allied to massage. Ask anyone who has had this treatment and they will tell you how relaxing it is. Reiki is especially good at releasing negative emotional energy and feelings.

Our services include several Reiki healer/practitioners and a Reiki Master/Teacher. Healing is given in an environmentally relaxing atmosphere aimed at maximising the flow of energy. The important thing to understand about Reiki is that the system channels the flow of universal energy through the practitioner into the client. The practitioner acts as a channel or conduit to this energy. This ensures the continued good health of the practitioners as well as their clients.

To become a Reiki Healer/Practitioner requires a short teaching and focusing session followed by an attunement by a Reiki Master. Anyone of good heart and commitment to help others can be so taught and attuned. That was Dr. Usui's intent in rediscovering and then developing a simple but uniquely effective system of healing. Reiki is a great gift that everyone can tune into and use for the benefit of themselves and others.
