REIKI HEALING
Heal your Body, Mind and Soul
Reiki has been fundamental in my own recovery from ME and this is why I became attuned to Reiki and went on to become a Reiki Master Teacher so that I could get the absolute most out of the energy as well as teach and attune others to this wonderful energy. My clients have also had so many fantastic experiences alongside experiencing many benefits and improvements to their health.
Generally, the effects of Reiki can be seen immediately in pain and stress reduction. However, the greatest effects and benefits of Reiki are cumulative so having regular Reiki treatments is really helpful as the more you have regular Reiki, the better you will feel mentally, physically and emotionally.
My practice is in Northowram, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
I am a certified and fully insured Reiki Master/Teacher and a member of both the UK Reiki Federation and Reiki Healing Association.
WHAT IS REIKI?
An Ancient Science
Reiki pronounced 'ray-key', is a system of energy healing originating from Japan which is now widely practiced throughout the world. It is based on the principle of free and uninterrupted energy flow and helps activate the natural healing processes in the body as well as restoring physical and emotional well-being.
The word Reiki itself translates to 'universal life energy’ and Reiki is a method of channelling this life force energy. All living things are made up of energy and science has confirmed the presence of this energy using tools, such as Kirlian Photography, to capture visual proof.
Our bodies are energetic in nature. Our bones resonate at lower frequencies while our thoughts vibrate at higher frequencies. This magnetic pulse is known as a bio magnetic field. When a practitioner is performing a healing session the energy that emanates from their hands produces a significantly larger bio magnetic reading (7-10Hz – Theta and Alpha range) which is associated with physical healing. During a treatment, Reiki energy is drawn through a purified channel within the body of the practitioner from the Universal Energy source. The channel has been opened in the practitioner via an Attunement process received as part of their Usui Reiki training. The energy firstly transmits any negativity or blocks within the practitioner thus ensuring that they never pass on negativity to the recipient. The Attunements are a very ancient process for fine tuning the physical and etheric bodies to a higher vibratory level and open a purified channel in the body for the energy to pass through.
The nature of Reiki is holistic, meaning that it addresses your body, mind and spirit. While Reiki is considered spiritual, it is not aligned to any religion. There is nothing specific you need to believe in, in order to benefit from Reiki healing which, because it is life force energy, can only ever do good and never cause any harm.
HOW CAN REIKI HELP?
Reiki works in co-operation with all other healing modalities, including traditional medicine, to create harmony and total well-being. Reiki is non-invasive and cannot cause harm. It calms deeply, creating a deep state of relaxation where healing on all levels can take place. Reiki releases energy blockages that accumulate and prevent us from reaching optimal health.
Reiki Energy Healing promotes deep relaxation, giving healing and strength to any living thing, it cannot do any harm. It stimulates the relaxation response in your brain and body, which then activates your system to begin repairing and healing itself. Some hospitals are now offering Reiki treatments to patients as a means of promoting relaxation, accelerating healing and reducing the discomfort and side effects of medical treatments and medication.
Reiki is beneficial for:
Reducing pain and inflammation
Promoting deep relaxation which is now recognised as important in healing
Helping with sleep issues
Reducing stress, fear and anxiety
Increasing energy and reducing fatigue
Providing energy and comfort to the elderly
Easing digestive issues
Calming many chronic issues
Balancing the immune system
Reducing high blood pressure
Helping to reduce discomfort, ease fear and promote well-being during pregnancy
Reducing side effects related to chemotherapy and radiation
Accelerating healing from surgery or injury
Easing grief
Preventing the progress of disease
In addition, Reiki has the potential to detoxify the body, clear energy blockages, and release emotional baggage. Also, as Reiki increases the vibrational frequency of the body, the healing energy can support positive changes to negative conditioning and behaviour.
*Remember, Reiki is a complementary therapy and should not be used in place of your doctor's recommendations but it can be used alongside your treatment to aid healing. If you have not obtained a diagnosis from your doctor regarding a health condition, please do so as Reiki is not a substitute for qualified medical or psychological care and treatment. Reiki practitioners cannot diagnose. However, because Reiki is a natural treatment there are no contraindications, meaning it cannot do any harm and is generally safe for everyone. However, please advise me if there is anything I should be aware of in case I need to take extra precautions.
What happens during a treatment?
For a Reiki treatment you do not need to remove your clothing but I will ask you to remove your shoes and then lie on the therapy bed in a comfortable position - for comfort you may wish to remove constricting layers and/or glasses. I will place my hands, in a number of positions, on or just above your body, acting as a channel for the energy. The energy is drawn in by you, moving through your system and naturally directing itself to the source of any imbalances. The energy will go to where it is needed, in the order that your body and mind determine.
Consequently, the outcome of each individual's Reiki treatment is different as this is determined by the person receiving the treatment. You will draw in the amount of energy needed, or are receptive to at that point, to bring about the necessary changes.
Some clients notice physical sensations such as tingling, movement or changes in temperature, you may also see colours, feel light or heavy within the body, feel in a dreamlike state, fall asleep, or just become deeply relaxed. You may find laughter or tears coming to the surface as your body and mind release stress and toxins. This is normal and part of the process for many people. It could be that you actually don't feel any particular sensations and this is also completely normal. Shift happens and it does not need to be accompanied by bells, whistles and flashing lights!
A session lasts 60 minutes but please allow a little longer for your first treatment.
What can I expect after a session?
Again, this varies between people, and with the same person from one session to the next. After the treatment you may feel very relaxed, or you may feel energised. There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. Occasionally, when you first begin having Reiki you may have some form of a healing response in the first 24-48 hours after your session, some people say after the treatment they encounter a 'healing reaction', like a headache or mild flu-like symptoms or you may experience increased urination and symptoms can sometimes become slightly worse. This is due to your body working to release old toxins and adjusting itself into balance, which will happen within a couple of days. Please keep hydrated during this period.
Instead of a physical change, some people feel emotional shifts take place and others feel full of energy right away, often clients say that they "feel lighter". This is the body and mind releasing and flushing out the various forms of negative energy that may have been trapped in your system, which the Reiki session has helped to free. However, please note that not everyone has a healing response that is noticeable.
Most people do sleep better in the days following a treatment, experience less pain and feel calmer, though for a few, these things are not noticeable until a few days after the treatment when the healing response has fully subsided.
Reiki will continue to do its healing work for up to a few days after the Reiki session ends. Be kind and gentle with yourself as your healing takes place but do call me if you have any questions at all.
How many sessions will I need?
Reiki can be used for short-term problems or in an ongoing capacity to promote overall health and well-being and so the number of sessions required will vary from person to person. It is important to remember, however, that Reiki healing is a process and therefore may take a number of sessions. Generally the more chronic and long-term the concern is, the more sessions it will require.
If you wish, I can at your first treatment recommend a number and/or the spacing of your session but of course, the decision about the spacing and any future treatments lies with yourself.
HANDS-ON REIKI TREATMENT
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
BIO-MAGNETIC MATTRESS
Can be included as part of the Reiki Treatment for a small additional fee
The bio-magnetic mattress enhances the treatment. It is especially helpful if you have physical ailments. The mattress was developed by NASA for astronauts to use in space as whilst there, their bodies consume more cells so they subsequently deteriorate and age much faster than on earth.
The mattress increases the quantity of red blood cells and helps the body rid itself of toxins because as you renew red blood cells, the better their capacity to expel toxins.
It has FAR Infrared heat (like incubators for babies) and uses LED and Photon technology so that it doesn't get too hot, as when a muscle is inflamed it needs a stable temperature. The LED and Photons aid relaxation and energy uptake.
The mattress has a low frequency pulse (ELF) which stimulates ATP (a natural chemical in cells) which gives more oxygen to the cells. The magnetism helps the nucleus of the cell membrane to draw in more nutrients and also raises the energy field of organs which allows an increase in nutrient uptake to enable speedier healing and as such complements and works well with reiki treatments.
N.B. Although, the mattress is safe for everyone, I do not use it if ladies are, or suspect they may be, pregnant.
CHAKRA BALANCING
We have 7 main chakras and they are generally all of different sizes and energy levels depending on the way we nourish them. Our chakras can be overactive, underactive or even blocked. Hence it becomes important to balance all the chakras so that they work in synchronicity with each other.
For example, say your upper chakras are extremely healthy and energised but your lower chakras are not, then you will still experience difficulties in different areas of your life, even though your upper chakras are in such good health. It is not about how strong a single chakra is, or even a few of our chakras are, what is important is that all of them are working in harmony with each other.
I will do specific work over each of your chakras and also use crystals to help restore balance, the session is slightly different to a "regular" Reiki session but please note that a regular hands on Reiki session also works on restoring balance to the chakras.
A session lasts 60 minutes and is the same price as a regular Reiki session. If you are not sure whether you would like a regular Reiki session or a Chakra Balancing session we can discuss ahead of or at your session.
REIKI DISTANCE HEALING
One of the greatest benefits of receiving Reiki distance healing energy is the fact that it allows you to receive positive energy anywhere and everywhere. To receive distant healing treatment, you do not have to go anywhere to receive the Reiki treatment.
Distance healing treatment also proves to be a perfect tool for all those people who find it uncomfortable to receive hands on Reiki treatment, or for those who are unable to physically come to receive a treatment.
It may be that you would like to arrange for a loved one who isn't feeling very well and is unable to travel, to receive some Reiki distance healing.
In order to help the client relax I can, as a qualified hypnotherapist, combine the Reiki distant healing with a guided meditation. If you would like more information please do contact me and I will be very happy to explain further or discuss.
