WHAT HAPPENS IN A REIKI TREATMENT?

A Reiki treatment flows through the hands and is channelled by a qualified Reiki Practitioner. Reiki will move through the various chakras or energy centres of the body and will balance the Client’s energy flow. Treatment can consist of 40 minutes to an hour lying on a plinth or 20 minutes seated on a chair.

The Practitioner will place their hands lightly, close to or on the body and after initially balancing the chakras, or energy centres, starting with the head move over the whole body through a series of set hand positions working on specific points on the Client’s body. No massage is involved, the client is fully clothed.

The setting is calm and relaxing and the treatment is usually accompanied by soft music. The Client may expect to experience deep relaxation, sometimes a feeling of heat, cold or tingling sensations as the Reiki works on any energy blockages or imbalances in the body. Sometimes the Client may fall asleep or doze.
