The Mystery of Reiki

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead:  his eyes are closed." 

Albert Einstein

ABOUT REIKI

“The great beauty and value of Reiki is that it connects us to that part of the universe
where all is guided by wisdom, love and peace.”

 


WHAT IS REIKI
?

An holistic approach to better health, happiness and personal fulfilment

An effective means of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being




"Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. 
We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. 
Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. 
He possesses power of various sorts which he habitually fails to use." 

William James

 

Reiki was developed as a popular and widespread holistic therapy in Japan early last century by Mikao Usui, a deeply spiritual, well educated and highly respected man who was honoured by the Meiji Emperor both for his dedication to the health and well-being of his fellow human beings and for his compassionate contribution to his country in working tirelessly to help survivors of the devastating Kanto earthquake.  

Taught by Mikao Usui as a method for health and happiness and with its roots in Japanese Shinto and ancient Buddhism, Reiki therapy is a unique form of stress reduction and energy balancing that can be used by anyone both as an effective technique for deep relaxation, inner peace and well-being and also as a spiritual practice for personal growth and development.  Reiki is a completely natural energy balancing therapy that uses gentle touch to provide loving support for anyone suffering from stress, aches and pains, injuries and illness, and to boost, balance and strengthen the human energy field.  

Reiki was considered to be such an effective healing method in Japan in the first half of the 20th century that the Japanese Navy used it as a form of medical treatment while at sea, both before and throughout the second world war, as a way of avoiding the need to carry and store extensive medical supplies. There were also a number of 'Reiki stations' in Japanese ports. 

Now well known and respected all over the world, with millions of practitioners, Reiki is a holistic energy therapy that works at every level of human existence - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.  Reiki soothes the spirit, relaxes mind and body, and stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.  As well as reducing stress and anxiety, Reiki healing can also transform thought and behaviour patterns and restore the vitality and health that is our birthright.

Reiki therapy is a simple but profoundly effective technique that can be learnt by most people to calm and soothe, to induce a state of profound relaxation and to restore a feeling of well-being. Reiki energy is totally safe and can be of wonderful support to everyone, from tiny babies to the frail and ill, the very elderly, and even to pets, farm animals and plants.

As a complementary therapy, Reiki gently and effectively complements all types of medical treatment and can bring significant relief to people, whether they are coping with simple challenges of mind or body or chronic or terminal illness.  There are millions of Reiki practitioners worldwide, and Reiki is used in many hospitals, private clinics, medical and Reiki treatment centres throughout the UK.

Reiki therapy was developed as a particularly effective way of bringing us back to that awareness of who we really are, who we are truly meant to be - an awareness we were innocently in touch with as very young children but that tends to get lost amongst the pressures of adult life.

"We are all in essence perfect, spiritual beings.
We are each a perfect expression of the universal mind
or God consciousness that is within us.
As such, our natural birthright is radiant health,
beauty, boundless energy, youthful vitality and joy
throughout our lives."

BENEFITS OF REIKI

“A gentle & magical journey to self discovery, inner peace and happiness”


What can Reiki do?
Reiki as an effective personal development tool


What can Reiki do?

The loving and supportive energy of Reiki therapy needs to be experienced for its effects to be understood and over time can make a real difference to how you feel in all areas of your life, not merely as a support for symptoms but may also address mental, physical and emotional causes at a subconscious level. Many people report that over time Reiki brings them loving relief for anxiety and stress, emotional and physical pain, injury, illness, trauma and personal concerns, and the results can sometimes be dramatic as the nurturing and relaxing support of Reiki can boost the auto-immune system and stimulate the body's own natural healing process. If the body becomes stronger and more in balance, it is then better able to restore itself. 

Reiki gently and effectively complements all types of medical treatment and does not compromise prescribed medication.

Reiki as a self-help therapy

The full potential of Reiki as a self-help energy therapy is realised when you learn how to use it on yourself.  Many people are amazed at the difference the daily practice of Reiki makes in every area of their lives.  Reiki is quick and simple to learn and is a very effective means of deepening your awareness and of supporting your family, friends, colleagues and clients.  Although spiritual in nature, with its roots in Shinto and ancient Buddhism, Reiki therapy is not associated with any particular religion.  The practice of Reiki has no dogma and can be a wonderful way of supporting people whatever their faith or belief.  To learn how to channel Reiki, all that is required is commitment, an open mind, and a belief in a power or force in the universe that is greater than yourself.

Reiki as an effective personal development tool

You do not have to be ill to benefit from the practice of Reiki.  It enhances mental clarity and emotional resilience, and can be very effective in helping you to manage your stress level, take control of your life, and deal calmly and positively with any challenges you are facing.  Many people also find the practice of Reiki particularly valuable and effective as a personal development tool.  


You can use Reiki therapy to:

  • significantly increase your energy levels
  • improve your memory and concentration
  • stimulate your creativity and bring you new ideas
  • develop your awareness of yourself and of others
  • deepen your understanding and gain new insights
  • change unwanted behaviour, attitudes or habits
  • relieve stress and overcome anxiety, fear or phobias
  • deal calmly and positively with problems and challenges
  • improve your personal and professional relationships 
  • create a happier, more balanced and fulfilling life
  • lovingly support a sick or troubled relative, friend or colleague

ABOUT A REIKI SESSION


What happens during a Reiki therapy session?
How quickly can I expect Reiki to work?

How much does a Reiki treatment cost?



What happens during a Reiki therapy session?

A Reiki therapy session lasts either an hour or an hour and a half, depending on which treatment option you choose. See Reiki treatment options.  

The treatment takes place with you fully clothed, lying down on a treatment table or seated on a chair if you prefer.  During the first half hour of the longer session there is also time for you to discuss particular life challenges, health or emotional concerns, gain new insights into what may have caused them and how to deal with them more effectively, and learn stress management techniques that you can then apply in your life.  This will give you greater control over your health and well-being and support your progress in between sessions for a speedier recovery. 

The Reiki treatment takes place in silence, with soft background music. During treatment, I channel the flow of Reiki through my hands by placing them gently on or slightly above specific energy centres (chakras) on the front and back of your body, beginning at your head and working down to your feet.  Alternatively I may focus the Reiki treatment on one specific area, depending on your particular needs. You may feel heat and tingling coming from the chakras as they draw in the energy your body needs.

During a Reiki session it is common for clients to feel so deeply relaxed and peaceful that they fall asleep. You may also at times experience physical or emotional sensations as the energy of Reiki moves through you. Everyone’s experience is unique and usually differs from one Reiki session to another, depending on how you are feeling and what you are specifically needing at the time. However, clients typically report a feeling of warmth and loving reassurance, and a peaceful, glowing radiance that flows both through and around them. Many are amazed at their experience. 

How quickly can I expect Reiki to work?

Reiki energy is subtle and works regardless of surface awareness. Changes will happen at the level and pace that is just right for you and cannot be controlled or rushed. It is your subconscious that is in charge throughout and knows what is needed and what you are ready for. I am simply the facilitator of the process, who understands and respects both the power of Reiki to transform and your innate ability to heal yourself.

A single Reiki session is profoundly relaxing in itself, and it is sometimes possible to experience significant relief after just one treatment, particularly if the session includes some brief, solution-focussed counselling. However, if you want support for a more serious or longstanding challenge, I would suggest that you consider having regular Reiki treatments over a period of time and monitor your progress.

How much does a Reiki therapy session cost?

Treatment Options:  As I am also trained in brief, solution-focused Human Givens counselling, life coaching, hypnotherapy, hypnohealing, neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - a form of emotional acupuncture), I offer a couple of treatment options, depending on your needs and on what kind of support you think would be most helpful to you in your present circumstances.  

Option 1:  I find that many people coming for Reiki appreciate having time to talk about what is challenging them and benefit from the additional support of counselling or coaching, stress-management techniques they can then use at home, and health advice.  This support complements a traditional Reiki treatment very effectively, giving clients useful insights and tools which empower them to participate more actively in their own recovery between sessions.  I therefore now make this a normal part of my standard Reiki session, which lasts an hour and a half.    

Option 2:  For those who prefer Reiki on its own, I also offer one hour Reiki-only sessions where clients can simply lie quietly throughout the treatment and allow the energy to flow through them.  If you would like this shorter treatment, please make it clear at the time of booking.

Cost:  Standard Reiki treatment (90 minutes) - £50
          Reiki-only treatment (60 minutes) - £35  

Block Booking:  If you wish, you can book a block of 6 weekly or fortnightly sessions in advance for a discounted fee, payable in full at the first session and non-refundable thereafter:

           6 x 90 minute sessions - £260 
           6 x 60 minute sessions - £185

Parking:  There is ample free on-street parking nearby, and I am on the 12, 26, 31, 38 and X48 direct Lothian bus routes - http://lothianbuses.com/routemap.php.

Cancellation Policy:  Please note that 24 hours' notice is required of any cancellation or change of appointment, for whatever reason, or the session must be paid for in full, and this is non negotiable.

Distant Treatment/Telephone Counselling:  If you are unable to come to me for any reason, I also offer either either Reiki-only distant treatment sessions (60 minutes including a follow-up chat on the phone) or a combination of telephone counselling during the first half of the session followed by a distant treatment (90 minutes in total).  The costs are the same as for face-to-face sessions, but with payment required in advance either by cheque or by PayPal - www.paypal.com/.

Home Visits:  If you are physically incapacitated and therefore unable to come to me either because you cannot travel or because you cannot manage stairs (my therapy room is up a flight of stairs), I am also happy to arrange day-time home visits if you live reasonably nearby (no more than 15 minutes by car) and there is local free parking available (or you are willing to pay for the parking charges).

           Standard Reiki treatment (90 minutes + travelling time) - £65
           Reiki-only treatment (60 minutes + travelling time) - £50

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT REIKI


What does "Reiki" mean?
What is Reiki?
How does Reiki work?
What are the origins of Reiki?



What does "Reiki" mean?

"Reiki" is Japanese for “spiritually guided life force energy”. "Rei" translates as universal/spiritual and "Ki" as life force, the natural energy which flows with varying strength and vitality through all living things. 

What is Reiki?

As we have learnt from the ancient texts of India, the Vedas, it has been known for thousands of years that everything is composed of energy vibrating at different frequencies.  Modern science has now confirmed that what we see as solid is in fact largely space and that what we see as solid matter is actually energy vibrating slowly.  Our thoughts are also energy, vibrating much more quickly.  When we understand that everything in the universe is simply energy vibrating at different levels, then we can begin to develop a new, holistic understanding of health and well-being.  Simply explained, Reiki is understood as energy vibrating at a very high level, and when it is used to treat a lower level of energy, it appears to raise the frequency of it.  A simple analogy is the way a flat car battery is boosted when it is connected to a fully charged car battery. Illness, pain, depression, chaos, fear, and indeed any negative thought or experience are all simply forms of energy vibrating at a lower frequency that are pulling us down and impairing normal healthy function.  They appear to benefit from contact with energy vibrating at a higher rate.

How does Reiki work?

There are many theories as to how Reiki works, but no one knows for certain.  The knowledge that an unseen universal energy flows through all living things, and is intimately connected to quality of health, has been part of the wisdom of many cultures across the world for thousands of years.  The existence of this life force energy has now been verified by scientific experiments, and scientists are investigating the role it plays in the process of healing. The practice of Reiki therapy draws on this universal energy to help support the mind and body.  

The Reiki practitioner serves as a channel for natural energy from the universal field, which the recipient absorbs at whatever level support is needed (physical, mental, emotional or spiritual). Many people say that Reiki treatments give them greater clarity and insight, improve their feeling of inner peace and well-being, help them in their relationships, and generally enhance their quality of life in many different ways. An explanation is that Reiki therapy appears to boost and rebalance the recipient’s energy field, relieving tension, inducing profound relaxation and enabling energy to flow more freely throughout the body so that the recipient can adjust, heal and change in the best possible way.

What are the origins of Reiki?

Reiki was developed in its present form as a energy therapy early last century in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui, who was born in 1864.  He was a highly educated and deeply spiritual businessman and respected public figure, who, after a lifetime spent studying spiritual matters, with regular periods of prolonged fasting and meditation in the Buddhist tradition, developed the gift of spiritual healing.  He called this new-found energy "Reiki" and spent the rest of his life developing it into a secular system of healing that could be taught to anyone to help and pass on to others.  Dr Usui taught Reiki healing to some 2,000 people before he died, and it spread rapidly throughout Japan, earning Dr Usui  recognition from the Japanese Emperor for his extraordinary services to the community.  Reiki therapywas introduced to the West in the 1940s.
