What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural healing energy activated by intention. It works on every level, not just on the physical, and promotes the body’s regenerative self-healing ability. The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th Century. The Japanese word Reiki means “universal energy”. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being; being know as “ki” in Japan, “chi” in China and “prana” in India. Acupuncture, Tai Chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and restore balance.

Safety and Ethics

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful complementary therapy that may be used with confidence alongside orthodox healthcare. As such, it expands treatment options. Reiki is not, however, an alternative to conventional medicine. You should therefore always consult a GP about acute or infectious conditions, and in connection with problems of a more urgent nature. I am a member of the Reiki Federation and abide by their "Code of Ethics and Standard of Practice" .
