Reiki 

Reiki is a gentle technique that reduces stress and promotes healing and relaxation. It is a simple and safe holistic therapy that influences the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Reiki is grounded in the belief that life force energy flows within us all. When this life force energy is low, stress, illness and disease occur. Reiki works by improving this life force energy and bringing about a sense of peace and wellbeing, helping to enhance a person’s quality of life.

 

To receive reiki a person can sit in a chair or lie on a padded table. They remain fully clothed. A reiki practitioner then gently places their hands on or near certain points of the body, channelling the energies to aid relaxation.

 

Reiki can promote healing on its own but can also support other healing modalities. Reiki doesn’t interfere with or diminish the effects of other health or medical practices and can:

  • Reduce negative side effects
  • Shorten healing time
  • Reduce or elimiate pain
  • Reduce stress 
  • Help create optimism

Reiki is increasingly accepted in health and community care facilities including hospitals, hospices and cancer support units.


Reiki is a healing practice that is so gentle it can be safely performed on babies, the frail and the sick. It brings about a deep sense of relaxation and contentment and can complement other healing treatments.
