Receiving a Reiki treatment is a very simple process.

The recipient simply lies on a couch and relaxes. If you are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main thing is that you as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy will pass through anything - even plaster casts.

The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body.

Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as: improving your diet, getting more rest, exercise or leisure time, sleeping better and may assist in reducing the need for alcohol and tobacco.

It is possible to heal at any level of being: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer.

In some cases such as terminal illness, there is often not enough time for the progress of illness to be halted or reversed.

In such cases however, there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life  - giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining.

Reiki can assist you respond more calmly to life events and build on a more resourceful state of being - it is an extremely gentle energy and can be used safely by all ages including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail or the elderly - regardless of their state of health.

Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions help to ward-off illness and fatigue.
