The Usui system of Reiki is a natural healing art. This system was born out of the experiences and dedication of Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese educator who, in the 1800's responded to a challenge from his university students by undertaking an extensive study of the healing phenomena.

Through travel, study, research and meditation, he rediscovered a healing system based on ancient Buddhist teachings and written in Sanskrit. He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching his method of natural healing, which involved becoming attuned to the Reiki energy and the laying on of hands.

Reiki Treatment

Receiving Reiki treatment is a very simple, non-intrusive and extremely powerful process. A treatment lasts approximately sixty minutes with the recipient either lying, fully clothed and covered with a blanket on a treatment couch, or sitting comfortably on a chair. The practitioner, who is attuned to Reiki, gently channels energy through the hands to the recipient's head, front of body, back, knees and feet. This enables the energy to flow right to the source of the problem and not just the manifesting symptoms. Whilst focus is given to the body's major organs, every cell of the body benefits. It works wherever the recipient needs it most and can be applied to any part of the body that has been injured, even through bandages and casts.

Reiki can help to relieve pain and acute symptoms often quite rapidly, whilst chronic problems may require more extensive treatment. The number of treatments depends upon the root cause of the problem and the amount of energy needed to restore well-being.

Reiki complements the effectiveness of most forms of medication and treatment. It is a completely safe, natural way of treating disease. It is healing energy in the truest sense.

Reiki helps to:

• Restore wholeness and health
• Releases negative emotional states
