WHY IS A GOOD FLOW OF ENERGY SO IMPORTANT?

REIKI is a Japanese form of healing and the word translates to Universal Life Force Energy.  Across other cultures and healing modalities, this energy can also be known as QI (CHI), or maybe Prana, or others.  Essentially this energy flows through the pathways of all living things. It is this energy that gives us our vitality and radiance and that creates, repairs and preserves all life. It is all around us.  

Think of this energy as the fuel that keeps everything running smoothly, like a clear flowing river.  When energy flows freely, it nourishes your organs, tissues and cells, allowing them to function at their best.  The stressors and traumas (whether mental or physical) of everyday life can mean that this energy is not able to flow in the way that it was designed to, resulting in imbalances in the body. Over time, this stagnation can increase and cause various symptoms of dis-ease, such as chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety or even digestive issues.

WHY could REIKI HELP ME WITH THIS?

REIKI IS A NATURAL SUPPORT that can help restore the body back into balance by promoting a smooth circulation of vital energy.  Reiki is not a religion and is accepted by people from all backgrounds and belief systems.  It is safe for all and has no contraindications.  Studies suggest that Reiki Practitioners have been shown to emit electro-magnetic pulses of energy from their hands, resonating at frequencies which are thought to stimulate healing in the body.    

Reiki involves lightly laying of hands just above or on the clothed body.  Usually starting at the head and working down the body in a slow progression of hand positions.  The warmth is very comforting and reassuring.  As you begin to relax and let go, quietening down the mind, this can naturally help your own body begin to heal.  Calming the mind and the body with Reiki can reduce stress, ease tension, improve sleep and promote feelings of overall well-being.  Dis-ease or sickness is experienced when you are out of balance.
