What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy”—the natural energy that flows through all living things. When this energy moves freely, it supports balance, harmony, and an overall sense of wellbeing within both the mind and body.

When energy becomes disrupted or depleted, we may begin to feel out of balance. Reiki works to gently restore this natural flow, helping to promote relaxation, clarity, and emotional and physical harmony.

This practice was founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and has developed through his research, experience, and dedication. Reiki is a gentle, inclusive therapy that is open to everyone, regardless of personal beliefs or background.

Usui precepts

“Just for today do not anger, do not worry; be humble; be honest in your dealings with people, be compassionate towards yourself and others.”

Reiki Treatment

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapy designed to promote deep relaxation and overall wellbeing. During a session, you remain fully clothed and can either lie comfortably on a couch or sit in a chair. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body in a series of calming positions—there is no massage or physical manipulation. Reiki works holistically, supporting the whole person rather than focusing on specific symptoms.

Each individual experiences Reiki in their own way, depending on what they need at the time. You may feel very little, or you may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, or a sense of energy flow. Many people report a deep state of relaxation, with a calm, peaceful feeling that supports both emotional and physical balance. Some may also experience emotional release, which can be a natural part of restoring harmony within the body.

Reiki can be particularly beneficial during pregnancy, offering a soothing and nurturing experience for expectant mothers.

Please note that Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions or guarantee specific outcomes. If you have any concerns about your health or symptoms, it is important to seek advice from a qualified medical professional.

FAQs

How does Reiki Work?
Reiki involves working with an energy that could be described as chi or prana (used by practitioners of tai chi and yoga) and some people see Reiki energy as a way of drawing down divine light to bring peace and heal.
How much Reiki would I need?
A single session may be sufficient, but it depends what you take from it and many choose to have more than one. You can choose a short course or perhaps come weekly or monthly for as long as you want.
Contra-indications
There are no known contra-indications for Reiki. It is a non-intrusive treatment that can be delivered in a variety of settings and requires no special equipment.
