Reiki - what is it?
Reiki is a spiritual practice
developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui that uses a technique
commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative
medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some
professional bodies.[1]
Today many
branches of Reiki exist, though there exists two major traditions,
respectively called Traditional Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki.
Japanese Reiki hand positions presented in the Usui
Reiki Ryōhō Hikkei (the Usui Reiki Handbook) as used and compiled by
Usui are considerably more extensive than the hand positions used in
Western Reiki.[2]
The
practitioner's hands are gently placed in various positions over the
body, often inducing a sense of relaxation and wellbeing as the
body's energies are 'rebalanced'.
It is believed that Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions may help to ward-off
illness and fatigue. |

What can I expect?
The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes. If you are unable
to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main
thing is that you as comfortable as possible. There is no need to
remove any clothing as Reiki 'energy' will pass through anything - even
plaster casts.
The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a
sequence of positions which cover the whole body.
A full
treatment usually takes 1 to 1½ hours with each position held for
several minutes. |
