Usui Reiki  



​Understanding Reiki  
The word Reiki comes from Japan where the system was originally discovered and developed by Dr Usui.  It means
​“ universal life force energy” and is referring to the energy that flows through all living things. The Chinese refer to this energy as Chi (Qi  or Ki) , the Indians as Prana, the scientists as energy.
 
Everything we see around us, ourselves included is made up of pure energy. On a subatomic level we comprise of atoms, made up of electrons, neutrons and protons – all particles of energy. This energy creates what we call our bodies. The food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe is also made up of energy and the quality of energy that we invite into our bodies can give us an abundant supply of energy or a poor supply of energy.
 
When there is an abundant supply of energy we are in good health with a natural and powerful flow of energy around us. However, in our stress filled, time poor world where we often don’t nourish ourselves. This slows down and in some instances even blocks our energy flow. We can experience illness, complaints or dis-ease with our physical, emotional or mental health. At these times we can feel unwell or off balance and our ability to allow this natural flow through the different systems of our body is significantly reduced.
 
By receiving Reiki you are receiving universal life force directly and in its purest form. This helps to balance the mind, body and spirit complex of your being. Reiki is not a religion or a religious practice and the practitioner will respect your own personal doctrine. The practitioner may make suggestions to you after the treatment, within their professional capacity, to assist with your healing but as healing is always about you what is doing best for you, at a time that is right for you, it is up to you whether you follow through on those recommendations or not.

We offer Reiki in the comfort of your own home, or at a practice.  This service can also be sent or received as a distance healing. We also offer Reiki training if you are thinking about learning this healing art for yourself.
