Reiki is an ancient Japanese holistic treatment, developed by Mikao Usui, founder of “Usui Reiki Ryoho”. It harnesses the universal life energy that flows through all beings, to shape and heal both mind and muscle. Unlike other conventional treatments, Reiki is completely safe and can be used on pregnant women, children, women dealing with low blood pressure or other conditions.

Reiki stimulates 4 different aspects of being:

The Physical Effect of Reiki

Reiki promotes the body’s ability to heal itself when dealing with conditions such as muscle tension, back pain, headaches and migraines, high blood pressure, fatigue, strengthening the immune system and even reproductive issues. Reiki does not conflict with any conventional forms of therapy, and so can be used as a complementary alternative treatment.

The Emotional Effect of Reiki

Being touched by the healing energy flowing through the palms has a deep emotional effect on both the giver and the receiver. Reiki teaches us to accept touch and release inhibitions which cause stress and tension. This can have a positive affect when dealing with depression, addiction, stress, insomnia, trauma, emotional pain and repressed feelings. Instead of carrying around the emotional baggage that halts us, Reiki introduces new sensations of trust, love, caring, empathy and connection. This is especially important for women dealing with issues of trust or trauma.

The Mental Effect of Reiki

First and foremost, Reiki clears the mind. Each session is a precious gift of time that you give yourself, which allows you to destress and evaluate your current mental state, daily stress factors and desired goals. It helps combat negative thoughts with positive ones and heightens your self-awareness. It’s a great tool if you’re seeking more balance and guidance.

The Spiritual Effect of Reiki

By connecting to the spirit of Reiki, you are also connecting to other people with the universal life energy that flows through all living beings, including animals and plants. This increases empathy, intuition and spiritual development.
