Reiki is one of the most ancient forms of healing known to mankind. It originated in Tibet and was rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 19th century in Japan.

Reiki is a healing system that works on the energy systems and chakra systems within the body. The Reiki Practitioner acts as a channel for the universal life force energy which improves health and wellbeing and enhances one's quality of life. 

Reiki treats the person as a whole, allowing healing to take place on all levels, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. During a treatment, the person lies clothed on a massage table while the practitioner gently places their hands either on or just above the body in alignment with the chakras. A treatment usually takes between 60-90 minutes but can be adjusted to suit the needs of the client. 

It is estimated that over 4 million people around the world are trained to give Reiki and over 800 hospitals in the USA now employ Reiki Practitioners to work alongside other trained health care professionals as the benefits of Reiki are becoming widely accepted. Reiki speeds up recovery time after surgery, accidents and traumatic events and makes patients feel more supported and less anxious. It is also greatly beneficial to people who are at the end of their life as it assists with pain and supports the spiritual transition during the dying process. 

Reiki is spiritual in nature but is not a religion. Reiki is for everyone despite what your own belief system is as the Reiki energy comes from The Divine source of all that is. Many people report that Reiki helps them to connect with their faith at a deeper level.
