Reiki Treatments
Reiki treatments provide an opportunity for you to totally relax and rebalance, in a safe and caring environment. In addition, Reiki helps the body to reach an inner state of harmony on all levels, physically, mentally and spiritually. As well as helping many physical ailments, it can also promote the changing of any negative mental habits, turning these into more positive and productive thought patterns. Reiki energy is gentle to receive, yet a powerful form of healing and the benefits can be felt immediately on all levels. Reiki has grown in popularity over the last few years and is practiced by many holistic practitioners. It has become widely recognized by conventional doctors and consultants, resulting in some hospitals allowing Reiki practitioners to work alongside doctors to help their patients.
Who are Reiki Treatments suitable for?
As a natural healing system, Reiki treatments are suitable for everyone, from young babies through to adults as it is a safe, non-invasive treatment. It can be used alongside other complementary therapies or conventional medicine. Reiki can be administered on a treatment couch or sitting in a chair, therefore making it an easy treatment to receive. Treatments are fantastic for people who just want to de-stress or for those who may be suffering from an illness or injury. Reiki can be used as a preventative treatment, helping to keep your body, mind and emotions in balance. There are very few contra-indications (current medical conditions) to receiving a Reiki treatment. However, as a professional practitioner, I will always take a brief medical history from you before treatment begins and if there are any concerns, I will discuss them with you at this point.
If you have a medical problem, please discuss this with me during the initial contact. I am more than happy to work alongside your doctor or consultant, respecting any medical regime you may currently be following. Reiki complements both traditional medical practice and other complementary therapies, however serious the condition may be.
There are no guarantees of being able to cure you completely using Reiki, although there are countless cases where this has occurred. Whatever you may wish to have treatment for, Reiki will definitely help in some way, on so many levels. Once improvements have been noticed, it may also be time to look at ways of helping yourself to remain in this improved state e.g. Changing old negative ways of thinking, improving ways of dealing with stress, improving your diet, getting more exercise and so on.
Healing Reactions
The Reiki healing process takes many forms. In addition to physical healing, the healing process may bring about realizations that can be deeply emotional for the client. It may awaken the client to the need for life-style changes. It may cause the client to embrace values long suppressed. It may result in significant changes in all areas of life as the client progresses on his or her healing journey. Whatever its path, the healing process may be presaged by an event called a Healing Reaction. A Healing Reaction is the occurrence of physical symptoms following a Reiki treatment or attunement. Reactions can manifest as headache, nausea, cold or flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal upset, mental or emotional upset, or a temporary intensification of the symptoms of a chronic condition or illness. A Healing Reaction indicates that the body is detoxifying in preparation for healing. Symptoms are more likely to manifest if the client (or student):
• has not received healing treatments previously.
• suffers from a chronic condition, or a condition that has existed for more than three weeks.
• experiences a chronic high level of stress.
• suffers from post-traumatic stress.
Generally, healing reactions do not last more than a few days, but can continue for a week or longer. Should a reaction occur, drink plenty of water, get lots of rest, and generally be kind to yourself. Such symptoms happen infrequently and typically dissipate within a few days.
