The word
reiki means ‘universal life energy’ in Japanese, where this therapy originated
at the turn of the century. Reiki is based on the premise that illness
is caused by a disruption in the body’s energy field or life force. By
using specially designed symbols and channelling energy, it is believed
that the body can be filled with positive energy causing the disease-making
negative energy to disappear.
How
does it work?
Reiki heals by charging
negatively affected parts of the energy field with positive energy. Energy
fields in the body each have different vibratory levels and reiki practitioners
use their hands to affect and hopefully rebalance these vibrations in
the negatively affected part of the body.
What
does it involve?
Although the reiki practitioner may ask questions about the client’s health
prior to treatment, it is important to note that no diagnosis, prognosis
or advice will be offered. Remaining fully clothed, the client prepares
for treatment by relaxing on a massage couch, or sitting if that is more
comfortable. The practitioner may then rest their hands lightly and gently
on the body in a sequence of positions, each one being held for a couple
of minutes. Alternatively, they may work ‘absently’, or away from the
body. Although personal experiences differ, some people report feeling
an intense heat from the practitioner’s hands during the process. The
client does not have to think about or do anything, as it is the practitioner’s
aim to provide a gentle, warming, vital energy appropriate for the recipient.
What
does it cost?
A Reiki healing session normally takes about 1 hour and costs £25
per session.
