Safety

Being complementary, Reiki works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies; expanding treatment options.

Reiki is not, however, an alternative to conventional medicine.

You should therefore always consult your GP about acute or infectious conditions, and problems of an urgent medical nature.

The Reiki Session

A Reiki treatment is non-diagnositc, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied.

A session is usually carried out with the recipient lying down, or sitting in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy passes easily through all materials, including plaster casts.

The practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body. The recipient automatically draws in ony as much energy as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time.

Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations or nothing at all.

Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect that is particularly effective in relieving stress.

Any treatment may be enhanced in you can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to aid the detoxification process.

Be responsive to your body's needs, eg. resting if tired, and allowing the energy to continue it's work in the days following the session.  The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.

Frequency of Treatments

Even one single Reiki session may make a difference; however a course of regular treatments may be more effective. These could be weekly, fortnightly or less often, depending on individual needs.

A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and reviewed as necessary.  This will always be subject to your own preferences and can be changed at any time in line with progress.

Further Benefits

Reiki encourages and supports posititve personal choices such as improving diet, taking more exercise, devoting time for rest or leisure activities, and may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco.  Engendering greater inner harmony and balance, regular Reiki treatments promote a calmer response to life's challenges.

Reiki's gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages, including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, in any situation.

Reiki can enhance everyday living, and regular sessions may helpt to promote development of a healthier, more resourceful state of being.
