As running water smooths the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki restores balance in one's life ...

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.

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.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.   It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in in order to receive or learn how to use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not.

This gentle healing energy will help you to regain your balance, enhance your physical and emotional wellbeing and bring a sense of calm and ease.

You can choose to learn Reiki, it is a beautiful, balancing, harmonious energy which is readily available.  Once you are attuned to the Reiki energy, you will be able to channel it for the rest of your life, whenever you choose to do so.  For many people Reiki feels so life-enhancing they wonder how they managed without it!  Reiki works only for the highest good of the recipient - whether it be person, a pet, a plant or a difficult situation - and it also benefits the practitioner who channels it.  

Reiki is gentle, requires no special equipment and can be used in virtually any circumstance.  It can be used hands-on or at a distance.  Reiki crosses all boundaries of culture, language, belief and religion. Many people find Reiki comes into their life at just the right time, helping them develop greater insights into themselves, their life purpose and the challenges life brings.

Reiki may help the whole body and indeed the whole person to balance and heal.  It may be helpful not only in physical ailments but in emotional and mental imbalances.  Reiki may also support us in making life changes, helping us let go of unhelpful habits and behaviour patterns, and bringing the insights which enable us to make the change. 

A note on progression with Reiki

If you choose to learn Reiki for yourself then everyone's journey is unique.  Please note that there is no need to progress through all the levels of Reiki unless you feel drawn to do so or wish to become a practitioner.  Many people undertake Level 1 as part of their own self-development and to bring harmony and healing into their homes and the lives of those around them.  You may find this sufficiently fulfilling and feel no need to progress to higher levels, or you may wait many years before feeling the time is right to go further.  Progression must be at your own pace and there is no advantage in rushing quickly through the different levels.  On the other hand, for some people Reiki may feel like 'coming home' and you will naturally be drawn to progress to Reiki 2 quite quickly (I like to advise a minimum of 3 months).

The wonderful thing about Reiki is that you can learn to do it and use it for self-healing or for treating family and friends. (If you choose to move on to Reiki II you will be able to take out insurance and become a Reiki Practitioner.)

Over the years I have come to believe that using Reiki for self-treatment and being able to pick up on your own energy imbalances is the most effective way of re-balancing yourself.  Whilst it remains a wonderful thing to receive a Reiki treatment from someone else, self-treatment and the ability to treat others is a constantly evolving journey.

I have been offering Reiki Training and treatments for many years now and have evolved a structure which includes all the theory you will need to know blended with as much 'hands on' practice as possible and a healthy dose of humour and other techniques you can use along the way. 

Groups are kept small and at the end of each stage you will receive a comprehensive manual to take away, a certificate and full ongoing support from myself - I love to hear where the energy is taking you!
