What are the Benefits?
The
energy of Reiki can be used to great effect in many ways. Whether one is
suffering from stress or tension, and the many symptoms associated with
this, or wishing to improve the quality of relationships at home or
work, the beneficial effects of Reiki occur on many levels.
Reiki can
accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions, and
free us from restrictive mental attitudes. It may also provide a closer
connection with inner wisdom.
Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as improving
the diet, having more rest, exercise or leisure time, and may reduce the
need for alcohol and tobacco. Reiki can allow us to respond more calmly
to all events, and build on a more resourceful state of being. Reiki is
a gentle energy and may be used safely by all ages, including the
newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly,
regardless of their state of health. Reiki can enhance everyday life,
and regular sessions help to ward-off illness and fatigue.

What Happens During A Session?
Each
session is usually carried out with the client lying down or sitting, in
a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any
clothing. The practitioner places their hands gently, in a series of
positions, on or over the body. The client's system automatically draws
in only as much Reiki as is needed; using it in whatever way is most
appropriate at the time.
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness,
other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases
stress, and has a calming effect. Treatment is enhanced if one can rest
for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body
detoxify. Be responsive to the needs of your body, e.g. resting if
tired, and allow the energy to continue its work after the session ends.
The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.
How often do I need to have Reiki treatment?
Although even one Reiki session can make a difference, it is usually
more effective to have a course of regular treatments. This may be
weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the needs of the individual.
A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and reviewed as necessary.
This will always be subject to your own preferences, and can be changed
at any time according to progress. |
