Reiki is a healing practice that can help return us to balanced functioning on every level. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, even social - regardless of our age or state of health. Reiki treatment, which is usually facilitated by light touch typically brings rapid stress reduction and relief from pain, anxiety, migraines, asthma, back problems and depression to name but a few. Recipients commonly report improved sleep and digestion and a greater sense of well-being.>
Other benefits, such as feeling more motivated, increased self confidence, less depressed, reduced blood pressure or experiencing relief from side effects of medicine. Reiki does not attack disease. Reiki supports our well-being and strengthens our natural ability to heal by encouraging balance. You do not need to believe in anything to benefit from Reiki. You only have to be open minded enough to experience treatment. One of the best aspects of Reiki is that it can only help - It can never hurt.
You are lying fully clothed on a treatment table. The reiki practitioner places her hands lightly on your head, her hands eventually come away from your head to the front of your torso. You notice that sometimes her hands feel warm, even hot and deeply soothing.
The experience of Reiki treatment is very subjective and varies from person to person and treatment to treatment, you can attain a truly renewed sense of calm with Reiki and it can help to balance your chakras. Most people report a deep state of relaxation and a feeling of well being. Many people report feeling both relaxed and energized and that they feel very rested.
A treatment usually lasts 60 minutes. You should drink plenty of water after a Reiki treatment in order to help flush out any toxins that have been released by the Reiki energies.
The amount of sessions required is entirely up the individual, it is recommended that 4-5 treatments should be undertaken to receive full benefit. Reiki can also support other forms of treatment, both conventional and complementary and can help reduce side effects from medication or medical treatment, it should never be used instead of medical attention.
The best gift you can give yourself is to be introduced to Reiki prior to surgery. Reiki supports the body's natural healing process, it allows wounds heal many times faster and can help speed up recovery from an accident, operation or traumatic experience.
