Do you live in Brisbane and thinking about trying a reiki treatment? Not sure what it’s about and thinking whether it’s for you? Well, let me tell you a little about it and hopefully by the end you will be ready to give it a go.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is the universal life force energy, a non-physical healing energy. The word Reiki is a Japanese word (it’s actually two words) Rei- meaning wisdom of higher power and Ki-meaning life force energy. Reiki is an ancient system of healing, it is used to heal in four levels, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. It works on the fundamental principal that everything is energy, we are energy, plants, animals, our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions are all energy. When we feel strong, happy, confident and can take on what the world throws at us, our energy is high. When we feel weak, have too many stresses, bringing on conflicting thoughts and feelings that cause fear, worry, doubt, anger or anxiety, our energy is low or may become blocked which can potentially bring on sickness.
How does it work?
Reiki is a safe, gentle non-invasive form of healing. Its a flow of energy, a technique for channelling the energy through the practitioner’s body and transmitting through the hands into the client’s body. This energy restores balance and vitality by releasing the physical and emotional effects of stress. It gently opens up the meridians, nadis and chakras and clears the four bodies, leaving one feeling relaxed and at peace.
What can it be used for?
Reiki has become a very popular modality and is being used as a complimentary therapy for various medical treatments such as post-operative recovery and rehabilitation, broken bones, stroke and heart attack. It is also a complementary therapy to the psychologist, chiropractor and hypnotherapist. It is also great for relaxation and reenergizing the body, bringing feelings of wellness and wellbeing, improving memory and creativity, among other things. Reiki brings back the body’s balance, it removes blockages and accelerates the body’s own healing process. Blockages can include negative beliefs, memories, doubts, fears, guilt and anger. These blockages prevent us from moving forward, can stop us from enjoying life and taking on challenges that life brings us. These blockages also restrict the flow of energy in the body, which can also be created by stress and anxiety.
What does it feel like?
Everyone feels Reiki differently, some sensations that may be experienced include the following but are not limited to: warmth, hot, cold, a sense of great peace, tingling, relaxation, having visions, shedding tears, seeing colours or shapes but also it is possible that you may feel nothing at all or even fall asleep. When this happens, it doesn’t mean that the reiki didn’t work for you, reiki always heals.
If that sounds like something that will help you and think that you would like to give it a go, book a session and lets beginning your healing journey. I am located in Brisbane, Australia and am passionate about helping others heal. The reiki healings will bring balance to your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual bodies by releasing blocked energies and accelerating your body’s own healing process leaving you feeling centred and aligned.
