Where does Reiki Come From? 

Usui Reiki was rediscovered in the early 20th century by Dr Mikayo Usui, a Japanese monk and scholar, receiving these energetic teachings from ancient Buddhist healing practices. Energy healing has been and still is practised all over the world, in all different countries and cultures, for millennia. Unfortunately this ancient wisdom has been lost over time as a people have lost their connection to their own natural intuition and the inner knowing to heal themselves has lost its power. Instead, people have been programmed to rely on the word and teachings of others, looking to shut symptoms down and close out the signs and messages received with in us. However, now, people are slowly beginning to reawaken to their own personal power buried deep within. It just needs to be ignited.

What is Ki?

Ki is the very essence of the soul, it stays within us our entire lifetime. It is in yoga know as 'life force energy'. When life flows with ease, when you are healthy and happy, Ki energy moves freely throughout your body. It is strong and unencumbered, and you have a higher resistance to illness and disease. When you are stressed, tired, or unhappy your Ki energy is low, you can be more susceptible to disease, sickness and negativity and may find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. ​Reiki is the highest and most profound vibration of life – life force.

What does receiving Reiki feel like?

You may experience the energy in the form of sensations such as warmth, tingling or pulsing where I have placed my hands. Some people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all.​

 

Can anyone have Reiki?

Yes, anyone! Adult, child, baby, pets and plants! There are no known contraindications for Reiki. It is generally regarded as a safe, non-invasive practice that does not compete with other interventions.​

 

How often should I have Reiki?

It is really up to you. After your initial session, in our Seal phase, we can discuss how the Reiki energy felt and put together a maintenance plan. This might be coming back in a week, or a month but ultimately, it is up to you to listen to your body and know when it is time for a 'tune up'.

How does distance Reiki work?

For a distance healing, Reiki is passed from the master or practitioner to the recipient by activating a distance symbol. This symbol is used to cross any distance in time or space, allowing masters and practitioners to clear blockages from someone's past, as well as perform reiki on someone who is not physically present. Distance Reiki works according to an ancient principle called the Hermetic Law of Similarity, meaning that we are all connected, as energetic beings, as humans we are all made of energy and the entire world around us. There is no separation. Invoking this law during a distance Reiki session allows the practitioner to connect to the energy field of the recipient.
