Reiki
Reiki is a safe and gentle healing therapy that boosts the body’s natural self-healing processes and harmonises its energies on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It was developed and practised in Japan by a Dr Mikao Usui at the end of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th century. It's suitable for all age groups and for people in all states of health.
At Medicalternative our expert practitioners provide both Reiki treatment and training.
What Does It Do?
Reiki is much more than a physical therapy - it's a holistic system for balancing the mind, body, emotions, wellbeing and spirit. It can also encourage personal development, spiritual awareness and growth.
How Does It Work?
Reiki works by treating the whole person. It removes energy blockages that cause disease. This helps to restore harmony and balance, peace and security.
Reiki treatment can have an immediate positive effect, but maximum benefits will come if you have a course of treatment to restore your harmony and balance.
When You Visit
- At Medicalternative we understand how complementary therapies can be most effectively integrated into a total health care plan. Your Reiki practitioner will therefore start by discussing your medical history with you, she will explain how Reiki can help you and answer any questions you might have.
- Being treated by a Reiki practitioner is a very simple process. Reiki is a 100% safe, non-invasive treatment.
- You will be invited to lie down on your back, fully clothed, on a treatment couch (you can remain sitting if you prefer). For your comfort you will have a pillow to rest your head and a blanket will be placed over you. The lights will dim and candles may be lit. Peaceful, meditative music will be playing quietly in the background.
- You will be asked to close your eyes and relax. Our practitioner will gently place her hands, non-intrusively, on or just above your chakra points. These are key areas within everyone’s bodies. She will concentrate energy into these areas in order to cleanse any blockages. You may become aware of warmth in the area the practitioner is focusing on. As Reiki is purely the channeling of energy you will remain fully aware throughout your treatment.
- A Reiki treatment usually lasts one hour and will leave you feeling relaxed or recharged.
Is There Anything I Should Be Aware Of Post Treatment?
- It’s best to drink plenty water after your treatment to help cleanse your body of toxins. It is best not to drink alcohol post treatment – if you do, it will affect you more quickly than normal.
- It is recommended that you rest and relax after your treatment to let it have the most beneficial effect. Most people say they have a really good night’s sleep after a Reiki treatment.
- Because Reiki is working to restore harmony and balance in your life it is common to notice a change in your way of thinking and feeling after treatment – you may feel more loving and want peace in your life. It is also common to feel emotions rise in you as you let go of old ways of being.
