Reiki
Reiki, meaning “universal life force energy”, aims to improve health and enhance the quality of life. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. Reiki will improve the results of all medical treatment, acting to reduce negative side effects, shorten healing time, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism. One of the greatest energy healing health benefits is stress reduction through relaxation which triggers the body’s natural healing abilities.
During a Reiki treatment, the patient usually lies fully clothed on a padded table in a warm, comfortable room. A thorough session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. For stress reduction, one to two sessions may be satisfactory, however for chronic conditions, long-term treatment may be recommended. Due to its gentle nature, many people fall asleep during this soothing experience of healing.
Other conditions that can benefit from Reiki energy healing therapy are: obesity, digestive disorders, depression, skin conditions including psoriasis, acne and eczema, asthma, headaches, PMS, sleeping problems, anxiety and back pain. This ‘spiritual healing’ can also help to speed recovery from accident, injury and illness.
In cancer cases, Reiki has been known to help alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. Its use as a complement to medical care is rapidly growing in hospitals throughout the world and it has been found to accelerate postoperative healing.
Reiki can also be used to help heal unwanted habits or addictions; it can benefit everyone from young babies to adults. The healing energy can be used to encourage personal and spiritual awareness and growth, empowering goals and affirmations. Even if a person doesn’t have any specific health problems, Reiki can be a fantastic and pleasant experience and has been seen to prevent the development of disease.
