Benefits
Reiki leads to a profound state of relaxation. It makes you feel more at peace, helps to reduce stress and so supports your immune system and your overall well-being.
It is not a painkiller. Reiki seeks to bring to the surface the causes of your symptom, not just to cure the consequences. It’s about long-term sustainable well-being, rather than a short-term panacea.
Reiki is also used alongside conventional medicine to help patients overcome pain and trauma from surgical operations, or side-effects of chemotherapy.
How it works
Reiki considers the whole human being by addressing body, mind and spirit. The Reiki practitioner places his/her hands on (or just above) an area of the clothed body to allow Reiki to flow through the practitioner into the person receiving the treatment.
During a treatment, you’ll be lying down on a massage table (or floor mat) in comfortable clothes. The practitioner will put her hands on your body but without the pressure applied generally for a massage. This allows the energy to flow freely towards the areas of the body being treated.
