Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive treatment promoting general well-being and deep relaxation. It woks on the body's energetic level. Our bodies are in constant exchange of energy with the environment and sometimes this ability to absorb and release energy can become unbalanced creating blocks which may manifest as symptoms such as stress, headaches, tiredness, sleeplessness or emotional imbalance such as feeling weepy or more vulnerable than normal.
Reiki can bring about a sense of peace and connectedness as it always aims to restore the body's energetic equilibrium. Every treatment will feel different as Reiki always works where it is needed most. Some people experience physical sensations such as twitching for example, others see vibrant colours and then there are the ones who feel energetic as if their 'batteries' are being recharged and the ones who feel a deep sense of calm and relaxation.
The beneficial effects of Reiki occur on many levels, some find relief from stress and associated symptoms, others find it helps them deal with tension, headaches and pain in general or Reiki may just help in clearing the mind and in making those decisions that one tends to put off. It can aid personal growth and enhance your day to day life.
You can also learn how to use Reiki on yourself and maybe you may want your friends and family to benefit from regular Reiki treatments. Courses usually run over two days or four evenings and you will learn about the history of Reiki, it's uses and how to apply it. You will familiarise yourself with energy and our energetic bodies and how the energy tends to flow in and around the body. You will also receive your Reiki attunements which means being connected to this ancient energy frequency. This enables you to use Reiki freely whenever you need or want to.
I've started my Reiki journey more than ten years ago, when I was looking for a way to balance my energy and to make myself less vunerable to being zapped by others. At the time I felt as if someone I worked with was doing exactly that. I could be balanced and in tune with everyone one minute and as soon as bespoke person walked into the room I felt tired and drained, just not being myself. Reiki helped me to stay in my centre and connected to myself and eventually I made the changes that I needed to make and I would say Reiki gave me the strength to see them through.
Reiki doesn't change your life, but it can change you in a way that empowers you and then you can make those changes that you want or need to make on your journey through life.
