Why Reiki?
The Benefits of Reiki and Your Path to Well-Being
Are you seeking a natural way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance your overall well-being? Reiki offers a gentle yet profound path to harmony and balance.
Reiki (pronounced "Ray-key") is a Japanese therapy technique which translates to "universal life energy." It is a spiritual practice that involves the transfer of this subtle energy through the practitioner's hands to the recipient.
Based on the principle all living beings have life energy flowing through them, Reiki aims to address imbalances in this energy which can lead to physical, emotional, and mental discomfort. A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit, channelling this universal energy to where it is most needed in the recipient's body.
A Reiki session is typically a calming and peaceful experience. You will usually lie down fully clothed on a treatment table or sit comfortably in a chair. The practitioner will gently place their hands on or just above various points on your body. There is no massage or manipulation involved.
Many people report feeling warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or a sense of peace and well-being during and after a session. However, everyone's experience is unique.

Benefits of Reiki
Stress reduction and deep relaxation
None of us are immune to stress, too much stress can cause unwanted effects which can make life hard. We believe by restoring balance to energy pathways it has been shown to release blockages which cause tension and anxiety, shifting the body into a better response, promoting a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, reduced muscle tension and calmer breathing, and a feeling of well-being.
Emotional balance, sense of well-being and promotion of mindfulness
The deep relaxation experienced during a Reiki session allows the mind to quieten down. Sometimes, suppressed emotions can be released as they need to, Reiki offers a safe and supportive space for emotions to surface, leading to a sense of emotional lightness and relief.
This then, can enhance present-moment awareness, which is a key component of mindfulness, reducing negative thinking and providing increased self-awareness.
Increased clarity and focus
Stress and anxiety can significantly cloud mental clarity. By promoting deep relaxation, Reiki helps to calm the nervous system. When the mind is less burdened by stress, it becomes easier to focus and think clearly. Reiki practitioners believe imbalances in the body’s energy flow can lead to mental and emotional disturbances. By restoring balance to these energy pathways, Reiki can help to clear mental ‘fog’ and improve cognitive function.
Improved Sleep
Reiki can promote better sleep. Quality sleep is essential for cognitive function therefore, by promoting relaxation, Reiki can contribute to improved sleep patterns.
