How Reiki Works

We all have an energy field (aura) surrounding our physical body. As we go through life we place demands on this energy field. During a Reiki treatment this energy field re-energises. Reiki restores the natural balance of the body, providing deep relaxation and bringing a sense of peace and well-being. It is called universal life energy because it draws upon the healing energy of the universe rather than the energy of the practitioner.

The Reiki Practitioner has been professionally trained to channel the Reiki energy.

The energy is not directed by the conscious mind of the Practitioner but by the subconscious desires of the client. Reiki complements the healing properties of all modalities including orthodox medicine, natural therapies such as herbs, aromatherapy, homeopathy, massage, psychotherapy and others. 

Reiki is not intrusive since the energy will pass through clothing, bandages, plaster casts or braces and the recipient remains fully clothed.

There are no contraindications to Reiki.

It is important that Reiki is not used in lieu of traditional medicine.
