Reiki as a healing modality.
Reiki is a hands on healing technique which at its core promotes deep rest and relaxation. The technique was developed in the 19th century by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan through his Buddhist upbringing. Reiki works on the premise that if a being is unwell it is likely low on energy and the body is stressed. Being in a state of Reiki then brings the much needed energy to the body to energise the energy centres by accessing life force or pranic energy.
A Reiki Session allows you to luxuriate in the nourishing meditative state that Reiki energy will take you to. A Reiki healer who leads the session has been attuned to the symbols of Reiki in order to be able to promote the flow of energy through them and the recipient through gentle touch. The recipient will sometimes report body sensations during a session. After a Reiki session a recipient will often describe a feeling of lightness and openness.
Reiki Precepts
Reiki was built on some fundamental precepts; rules for life. These precepts are also a great way to describe how we approach a Reiki session. There are no expectations of any particular outcome of a session. The principles of Reiki describe that through the power of the technique the healing that is needed will be delivered to the recipient.
