Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self improvement. It heals on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It boosts the immune system and promotes good health and well-being. It is beneficial for anxiety, stress, depression, inability to cope or communicate well, difficulty relaxing or sleep problems. It is also effective in overcoming negative habits. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

A healing feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results. The main thing is that it works - whether or not you believe it will.

It is possible to heal at any level of being; physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Acute episodes can be helped to heal quickly but more chronic illness take longer. In some cases such as terminal illness, while there may not be sufficient time for the progress of the disease to be reversed, there is usually great benefit and enhancement of quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance.

How does it work?
\* Everything in the Universe is made of energy, including our physical boddies.
\* The physical body is a wave of continually flowing energy.
\* When tension is experienced this creates a block in the flow of energy.
\* When that energy is then unable to flow through the tension area it has to flow around it and so the tension area is then deprived of energy. Like a stone in a river where the river cannot flow through the stone so has to flow around it.
\* The subsequent deprivation of energy flow in that part of the body eventually causes the blockage to manifest as dis-ease - illness, sickness. This can manifest in the emotional or mental body also.
\* The intense flow of energy from the Reiki healer to the affected area will dissolve the blockage, thus enabling the energy to flow freely again and subsequently heal.
\* To avoid recurrence of the tension and any subsequent blocks, then the person needs to be aware of what it was that caused the tension in the first place. Because Reiki healing puts you into a meditative state it enhances awareness and enables insight into what makes you tense or unhappy. This is why regular healing is so important and effective.

Receiving a Reiki Healing
To receive a Reiki healing all you need do is lie down fully clothed and relax. When giving Healing, in addition to Reiki I also utilise the concepts of Body Mirror System of Healing and Colour Healing offering a truly powerful and effective Hoslistic Healing. I would normally start a healing working around the head area, and progress down the body through the energy centres - known as Chakras - finishing at the feet. The healing works on the energy field around your body - the aura - and so there is little physical contact. A typical session lasts 1 hour including consultation.
If you practice meditation, you will be familiar with the sensation of floating or deep relaxation that can be felt during a Healing. Each Healing is unique to the individual. Some describe it as tingling, releasing, floating, lightness, being encapsulated in a warm soothing blanket. Other people see colours, or have profound thoughts. Every healing is different.
