WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a form of hands on or off Japanese technique that not only works with the symptoms of an individual but also gets to the root cause of the imbalance. It is an energetic healing that works with the universal life force energy or Ki energy within and around us. The Ki energy is activated for self healing. Overall Reiki treats the whole person.
WHAT REIKI CAN DO FOR US
Working with the energetic, physical and emotional aspects to address imbalances of life energy or Ki that flows through the body. Reiki reduces stress, promotes relaxation and activates the natural healing processes of the body to restore physical and emotional wellbeing. A few more reasons why you may want to experience a Reiki treatment:

~ Support for substance abuse recovery
​~ Accelerated surgery recovery or any type of recovery

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST REIKIÂ SESSION?
To begin you will be required to complete a confidential client history form that outlines the areas in the body and life that you would like the session to focus on. This helps the Reiki practitioner monitor your progress from session to session. Once you have asked any questions you may have, you will lie fully clothed on the therapy table. The Reiki practitioner will guide you through a relaxation visualisation then place her hands above or on your body based on intuitive guidance received. At the end of the session, you can discuss any questions, emotions or sensations you have or experienced. Things you may experience:
​
~ Sensation of heat
~ Sensation of cold
~ See colours
~ Past life flashes
~ Involuntary Movements
~ Fall asleep
~ Itchiness
~ Emotional responses
~ Rumbling Stomach
~ Memory flashes
~ Pins and needles
~ Sense of moving
​
You may experience nothing as well which is also normal as Reiki works on a very subtle level and results can become profound and apparent days or weeks later.
BENEFITS FOR CHILDREN ANDÂ TEENAGERS
Children are very receptive to the balancing energies of Reiki. The uniqueness of this approach is that the fears, stress and tensions your child experiences can be gently released even if they don't feel like they want to talk about it. All that your child needs to do is be open to the process. Meditation and visualising are used to engage with the child to encourage relaxation before starting.
​
For teenagers, the most common concerns are study pressures, social-group and family challenges. They may include, difficulties at school, coping with new relationships, and the effects of family violence or breakdown. If your child is confronting one of these changes and appears not to be coping, introducing them to Reiki can improve their ability to adapt, self-nurture and recognise the signs when they may need assistance later in life. Some of the benefits:
~ Less likely to show signs of stress and anxiety
~ Improved concentration
~ Better sleep
~ Increased self-esteem
~ Improved self-awareness
~ Increased confidence to deal with daily life
