What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a system of natural hands-on healing which has been around for thousands of years but was rediscovered in Japan 100 years ago. It is profoundly relaxing, helping to still the mind, heal the body and bring inner peace. Reiki means 'universal life energy', the vital energy around and within all living things.
Reiki evolved in Japan from the experience and dedication of Dr Mikao Usui who was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching Reiki. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment. The only prerequisite is the desire to be healed.
What happens during a Reiki treatment?
You simply lie fully clothed on a couch and relax. If you are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position. The important thing is that you are as comfortable as possible. I then gently place my hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which covers the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms.
How long does a Reiki treatment last?
A full treatment usually takes one hour however a shorter treatment can be given if necessary. For maximum benefit it is recommended that a course of at least four treatments is taken, particularly if you have been suffering from a chronic condition for a number of years.
Reiki Teaching/Attunements?
To become a Reiki healer you must receive attunements from a Reiki Master/Teacher which allows the Reiki energy to enter in and flow. There are 3 levels. Reiki 1 prepares you for healing yourself and friends or family. Reiki 2 takes you to practitioner level and allows you to heal distantly and Reiki Master/Teacher allows you to pass on the Reiki energy in the form of attunements and teaching.
I offer Usuhi Reiki Teaching and Attunements to levels 1 and 2:
Reiki 1 teaching involves 4 teaching sessions of approx. 3 hours each during which you will learn about the history of Reiki, how Reiki works and its benefits, the Reiki principles and the Reiki treatment itself. Alongside the teaching, you will be given 4 attunements as well as learning meditation, grounding and protection techniques. You will then be ready to apply your new skills and awareness practically by treating other students or your Reiki Master. A 1st degree certificate will be presented on completion of your course.
Reiki 2 teaching involves 2 teaching sessions of approx. 4 hours each during which you will learn more about the importance of meditation, auras and chakras in Reiki work. The Reiki symbols will be described and you will be given your 2nd degree attunement. If you wish to use Reiki as a treatment for the general public, you will be given guidance on the practical implications of working as a Reiki practitioner. Distance healing will be taught and you will be able to put this into practice during the session. Throughout the course, practical meditation and Reiki healing will be shared giving you an opportunity to practise your new understanding within a supportive environment. You will also be given case studies to carry out as homework. A 2nd degree Reiki Certificate will be presented to you upon completion of your case studies.
