All things, physical and non-physical, are made up of vibrations and energy. We operate at maximum efficiency when all energies are in balance.

Reiki is holistic, it heals on the physical, mental, emotional and soul levels by helping to balance the different energies, thereby supporting the body’s own natural healing ability. It is not associated with any religion and therefore is available to everyone. It can complement orthodox and complementary therapies.

This type of healing has been used for thousands of years and was reintroduced to us just over a century ago by Dr Mikao Usui, a Japanese gentleman, who gave it the name it is known by today. It is believed that he studied many forms of healing, including Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, Chi Gong and the Japanese Kiko.
 

A healer is attuned to Reiki to enhance his/her ability to channel energy to the recipient, the aim being to restore equilibrium and enable the body’s own healing system to attain optimum health. 

Potentially, Reiki can help with anything. People may seek treatment to help with a specific physical problem (eg, headaches, muscle pain, long term illness); others may seek help with stress, or to release emotional issues and promote a feeling of well being.

However, in order to effect a cure we have to accept responsibility for ourselves and be prepared to make changes if necessary, eg diet, lifestyle, release of negative thoughts and emotions, or our relationships to others. It is necessary to look at the whole, not just the symptoms.

Without change, symptoms can persist. By learning to look at and adapt our attitudes, our lives may improve dramatically, sometimes miraculously.
