Reiki is an ancient technique, said to have originated in Tibet. It is used for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing on all levels of being - body, mind, spirit. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." This energy is channeled and this assists in bringing healing and harmony to the receiver.

Reiki treats the whole person on all levels, including body, mind, emotions and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include a sense of deep relaxation and peace, security and wellbeing. A treatment feels like a peaceful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that can be received by anyone open to it. It can help with virtually any sickness or imbalance within the body and mind. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. There is nothing you must believe in order to receive or use Reiki. In fact, Reiki will work whether you believe in it or not. Reiki is channelled from the highest source and will be received in the exactly the way that is appropriate for you in this moment.

I have a regular practice of Yoga and Meditation and I have found, through incorporating the energy of Reiki, it has helped to deepen my own practice. I feel that this has allowed me to connect on a much deeper level and brought a more profound understanding and unity with God and my True Self.
