Traditional Usui Reiki
The Reiki healing system came to us through Mikao Usui. This healing modality can be applied safely across all age groups and is safe to use alongside conventional & complimentary treatments. It is supportive in the management of physical ailments, stress, emotional healing and can assist people in their own personal transformation.
I put off doing Reiki for many years for all the wrong reasons. However, once I did the training it became a lifelong friend. As a modality some people take Reiki classes for their own personal development and I was taught to initially take Reiki for myself. The teacher I trained with preferred an experiential approach and so there was no homework tasks, but I was advised to do self treatments. This proved to be good advice and I found it a valuable tool for self transformation over time.
Reiki and Me
It is also a valuable therapeutic tool that can be used by therapists and I began doing Reiki treatments professionally having completed the second degree of Reiki learning. I became a Reiki Master – another term for teacher – in 2001. I was blessed during my years in my practise to initiate others into the Reiki healing system. Since covid I now work from my home extension. The therapist is a channel for the Reiki energy and a treatment follows a sequence of hand positions over the chakras. It is a simple therapeutic method directing itself to where it is needed. Reiki energy balances and harmonises. In a balanced state there is a potential for self healing.
A Reiki Treatment
As mentioned I was taught in an experiential way and so the length of the treatments I offer will be in accordance with the recipient’s energy at that time. I have found treatments range from approximately 45 minutes to one hour, depending on the body’s needs. Single treatments or the first treatment, should someone decide to have a few Reiki treatments, will usually be nearer an hour. As the energy balances, the treatment time may become around 45 minutes. There is no preparation needed. Aftercare advice, as with most complimentary therapies, is to have an adequate fluid intake the day of the treatment.
