What is Reiki?

Reiki is a healing art and a healing science with a growing evidence base. 

​

It is a simple, natural form of healing that has its roots in Japan. It involves absorbing life force energy (known as chi in the Chinese tradition and prana in Indian tradition). The Reiki energy flows through the Reiki practitioner and into you, the client. Reiki channels energy into your body; your body sends the energy where it needs it and uses the energy to balance itself.

​

Reiki sessions take place with the client lying down, fully clothed. The practitioner places their hands in various positions either directly on, or just above the body. It is not necessary to lie down; Reiki can be delivered in any position the client and practitioner are comfortable.

​

A session typically lasts 1 hour, including time for discussion before and after treatment.

Most people find Reiki to be a deeply relaxing experience. They leave feeling relaxed and energised.
