Reiki Edinburgh and Glasgow

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a secular enlightenment system and healing system. In the west, it is primarily taught as a healing system. It allows you to heal self and others by laying on hands. It was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900's. Reiki is very easy to learn and easy to use, and anyone can do it. Reiki Healing is a process of being connected to the Reiki Energy through an attunement or empowerment. Using reiki is simply a matter of awareness of reiki and the expression of it is BEing Reiki. Healing is done either hands on, or by distance work. Reiki is pronounced "ray-key". The word "Reiki" is made up of two separate kanji. "Rei", which means Universal and "Ki" which is spirit, energy or life force. The most common definition of reiki is therefore "universal life energy". Some say that it is life force energy that animates all life. This universal life energy is indescribable, in all things, everywhere. In doin g and being reiki our awareness of it in the moment is the expression of reiki in healing, being, in whatever we are doing in that moment. The two Kanji taken together can also mean enlightenment. They represent the universal spirit coming together with our own.

How Reiki Works

Reiki energy exists everywhere. In Reiki healing the therapist is a conduit or channel sending Reiki energy into the client. The energy will follow the energy lines in the body to the source of any imbalance or injury, even if that place is away from the hand position of the therapist. 

Treatment description - Hands on Treatment

There are a number of hand position methods, including a classic set, intuitive positioning and distance healing.

Reiki energy will flow to where it is needed, however for the therapeutic relaxation it induces, and because of efficiency in avoiding any energy blocks, the therapist will often place hands on a number of areas to ensure sufficient overall coverage.

Each position is usually held for 3 to 5 minutes, more or less. Trust the therapists intuition. 

Reiki sessions are conducted with the client fully clothed. 

When working around private areas the therapist will normally hold their hands about 3 to 5 inches above the area instead of directly on the person. 

The Reiki will work, even if you do not believe in it. There is no wrong way to do it.

What can Reiki help with?

Reiki can have an amazing effect on a wide range of psychical and emotional issues. British Law means that I can not claim that Reiki "cures" anything (so as to prevent consumers against medically unproven treatments). However historically Reiki has been considered useful by clients in a wide range of problems, from physical conditions such as ailments and pain, to emotional issues causing upset and distress. Reiki is a holistic therapy. It does not seek to treat just the problem you present, but also the underlying cause. It helps to promote balance and harmony in the body, helping the body and it's natural energies to function in balance and self-heal.

Reiki with Crystal Healing

Reiki combines well with crystal healing. Where used together, a combination or layout of crystals is usually used. While the client is relaxing with the crystal treatment, the therapist either sends Reiki locally, or may use some limited hand positions.

The appropriate NOS for Reiki are the National Occupational Standards for Reiki and NOS Healing.
