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:

You may experience nothing as well which is also normal as Reiki works on a very subtle level & results can become profound & apparent days or weeks later.
BENEFITS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
Children are very receptive to the balancing energies of Reiki. The uniqueness of this approach is that the fears, stress & 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 & visualising are used to engage with the child to encourage relaxation before starting.
​
For teenagers, the most common concerns are study pressures, social-group & family challenges. They may include, difficulties at school, coping with new relationships, and the effects of family violence or breakdown.

UNDERSTANDING ENERGETIC BALANCING & ALIGNMENT
Chakras are the energy centres located within our bodies, often depicted as vibrant, spinning wheels of light. Each of the seven primary chakras aligns with different physical, emotional, & spiritual aspects of our lives. These chakras, which extend from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, include the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, & Crown. Each chakra plays a crucial role in governing vital areas such as our feelings of safety, creativity, love, & communication.
​
Chakra balancing is the process of restoring a healthy flow of energy through the body's vital centres. When your chakras are aligned & balanced, energy also known as prana, can move freely, resulting in increased vitality & overall well-being. On the other hand, proper chakra alignment guarantees that these energy centres function optimally & work together harmoniously, promoting balance within your system.
​
Imagine your chakra system as an energetic highway; if one lane representing a chakra is blocked or hindered, it disrupts the entire flow of energy throughout your life. Engaging in practices designed for chakra balancing & alignment helps clear these blockages, allowing your life force energy to circulate smoothly. This can result in improved physical health, emotional resilience, mental clarity, & a stronger connection to your spiritual self. By gaining a deeper understanding of your chakras, you take the first step towards utilising their energy for holistic healing & personal growth.
