REIKI WITH CHAKRA BALANCING

 

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

​

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Higher Power or Universal" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. 

​

A Reiki treatment is a gentle hands-on treatment; the person receiving Reiki lies fully clothed whilst I gently rest my hands for a few minutes at a time on your head, shoulders, elbow, hands, knees and feet. It is a safe and re-assuring treatment – stress is released and there is a feeling of deep relaxation. People who receive Reiki describe it as “intensely relaxing", it is not religious but more of a spiritual enlightenment.

 

Conditions that Reiki has been used to help treat include: heart disease, anxiety, ​depression, chronic pain, infertility, neurodegenerative disorders, autism, Crohn’s disease and fatigue syndromes.

​ 

This treatment is done in silence but relaxing music will ease you into the session. I will then use Reiki energy to assist with healing your body. I use very light touch on head, shoulders, elbow, hands, knees and feet just so you know that I am there.

​

Near the end of the session, I place Chakra crystals on your seven energy centres: Crown Chakra (top of your head), Third Eye Chakra (on your forehead), Throat Chakra (on your throat), Heart Chakra (chest), Solar Plexus Chakra (stomach), Sacral Chakra (on top of your pelvis) and Root Chakra (at the bottom of your feet). Chakra balancing is a holistic therapy that aims to balance the seven energy centres in your body. By clearing blockages and restoring balance, it can improve physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Benefits may include reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood and energy, and increased self-awareness and spiritual growth.

 

Finally, I will gently touch your shoulder and whisper that the session is over. I will collect the crystals and then sit you up on the couch so you can get your bearings and offer you a drink.  Some reiki practitioners say nothing after a session but I always give feedback after a session even if I don't pick up anything from you. I personally think it's better to be truthful and share experiences which you or I might have felt during the session.
