What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient healing art that was used for thousands of years in the Orient. It was rediscovered in the 1800s by the Head Master of a Christian school in Japan, Dr Mikao Usui, when he was dumbfounded by a question from a student asking if he could demonstrate how it was that Jesus could heal the sick by laying on of hands. Neither he, nor any of his fellow theologians could answer the question so he resigned his position and went on a quest to find the answer. After many years of research, a way was finally revealed to him and the current systems have re-emerged.

How does it work?

Reiki works by helping your body to restore the natural flow of energy inside it. In the Orient this energy is known as Ki, Qi or Chi. This is the same energy that is stimulated during an Acupuncture or Shiatsu session, or during Tai Chi or Yoga. In those cases your existing energy is stimulated from within. With Reiki or Qi Gong in addition to the internal restoration and stimulation of Ki there is a further application of new energy as well. This is why Reiki is beneficial in chronic conditions where the person's energies have been depleted and they need to be built back up again. This is also why Reiki is so beneficial to those in high stress or high performance jobs or sports. Not only can it be used to replenish the tired or depleted… but it can also be used in advance to restore balance and to invigorate the body to improve performance as well.

How many sessions are necessary?

This varies greatly from person to person as each condition is unique. Some people have had complete relief with one or two session. Others with chronic conditions may require multiple sessions over many months. In all cases, you are the one who decides. The effects of Reiki are cumulative, with each successive session building on the effects from the last.

Where does the energy come from?

The translation of name Reiki (Rei and Ki) is "Universal Life Energy". Unlike Tai Chi or Qi Gong, which draw the Ki from the environment around them, Reiki practitioners are trained and attuned to connect directly with the "Universal Life Energy" and allow it to pass through them untainted by the practitioner's influences and/or energies. Thus Reiki is on of the purest, and safest, forms of energy work available.

How long does a session take?

Normally we schedule for one hour, however, shorter and longer session have been done based upon the client's needs.

What happens to me during a session?

What do I have to do? You need to do nothing more than rest in a comfortable position for the duration of the session. You will sit or lay, fully clothed, in a chair or on a massage table, while the practitioner does the work. The practitioner will move their hands over you to various position holding them there for several minutes allowing the energy or Ki to flow into your body. Often this can be done without even touching the body, but sometimes, and only with your permission will the practitioner actually rest their hands on an affected area to maximize the flow of Ki to that location. Some people actually fall asleep during a session and afterwards most people feel a profound sense of peace and relaxation that may last for several days.
