The Treatment
Reiki affects each person differently, but it always acts and flows to wherever the receiver needs it most. The client remains fully clothed and usually lays on a couch; no massage takes place. I gently place my hands on the body and/or just above the body (in the aura) to channel the healing and encourage a feeling of peace and relaxation.
The hand positions used in Reiki correspond with the 7 Chakra energy centres in the body and help more energy to flow and address imbalances within the whole body’s energy system. See more about Chakra energy centres.
Everyone experiences Reiki differently depending on their needs; some fall asleep, waking with a deep sense of calm and balance. Some feel sensations of heat or tingling and others may have an emotional response which indicates that shifts may be taking place and where harmony can be restored. Reiki works within each client even if they don’t feel these sensations and can often feel very comforting.

Contraindications
There are no known contraindications to a Reiki treatment; it is a simple, safe and powerful method of healing. It is NOT a medicine, or religion, and it is suitable for everyone regardless of age or beliefs. It is NOT a substitute for orthodox medication or treatment by a doctor or specialist.
Aftercare
Clients may feel very relaxed and possibly sleepy. Sometimes emotions can come to the surface during or after a treatment which is nothing to worry about – it is the body’s way of releasing tensions and emotions that are being held on to and can bring relief. The body may also want to eliminate toxins as it rebalances. After a treatment you should:
Rest as much as possible
Avoid stressful situations
Drink plenty of fluids; water and herbal tea
Avoid caffeine and alcohol
Reiki is a natural healing method which is thousands of years old and offers a holistic approach to healing and well-being. This healing method known in the West as Reiki was developed in Japan early in the last century by Dr Mikao Usui and is a powerful process that focuses on, and helps activate, the body’s own natural healing processes. Reiki works holistically on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level and attempts to set all these aspects into a more harmonious balance.
'Rei' means universe or life and ‘Ki’ means energy. Therefore Reiki means ‘universal life energy’ (or ‘prana’). This energy, present in all of us and all living things, can be channelled by a Reiki practitioner through hands-on healing to activate the natural healing processes of the body to aid well-being and vitality. It is a restorative treatment which works on many levels, helping the client’s natural energy to flow more freely when it has perhaps been low or depleted or has become blocked or ‘stuck’ which can manifest into imbalances physically and mentally.
Reiki with Crystals
Crystal therapy is an ancient holistic and natural therapy that utilises the natural power of crystals, tapping into their energetic power and how they affect the body and mind. Crystals help unblock and direct energy where it is most needed to help restore health and balance holistically. They can be used during a Reiki treatment and placed on the Chakra points to help further unblock and balance energy.
