Who can have a treatment?
Reiki's gentle energy may be used safely by people of all ages,
including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and
the elderly.
How safe is it?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful complementary therapy
that may be used with confidence alongside orthodox healthcare. As such it
expands treatment options. Reiki is now often seen in many hospitals,
hospices and is widely used in palliative healthcare. Reiki is not,
however, an alternative to conventional medicine and is not intended to be
a substitute for any medical, hospital or psychiatric treatment. A Reiki
practitioner will not diagnose any condition or recommend any form of
treatment.
What happens during a session?
A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic, non interventionist,
non-manipulative and no pressure is applied. A session is usually carried
out with the recipient lying down on a couch, or sitting down in a
comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any
clothing as Reiki energy will pass through anything including plaster
casts.
The practitioner gently places their hands on or over the body in a
sequence of positions and is a channel which the energy is drawn through
by the need or imbalance in the recipient. The recipient automatically
draws in only as much energy as is needed, using it in whatever way is
most appropriate at the time. Neither person has to use any effort of will
or concentration during the treatment. The whole person is treated rather
than just specific symptoms.
How long does a treatment last?
A full treatment usually takes 1 hour with each position held for
several minutes.
What will I feel during a treatment?
Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild
tingling, warmth, coolness, twitches, crying, laughter, stomach rumblings,
other sensations or nothing at all. The most common element experienced is
one of deep relaxation and usually a feeling of warmth in the particular
areas of the body. It is most typical to experience a blissful, euphoric
feeling that enables you to sink into a deeper state of relaxation. It is
not uncommon to fall asleep or into a 'Reiki slumber'. Treatment is no
less effective when the recipient has slept through it entirely. It may be
just what is required!
What happens after a treatment?
Following a treatment, many people feel rather dreamy and relaxed and
may need to sit down for a while to become grounded again. It is
recommended that at least a glass of water is drunk following treatment as
toxins are loosened after treatment that need flushing through the system.
Ideally liquid intake, preferably water, should be increased considerably
over the 24 - 48 hour period following treatment. The beneficial effects
of Reiki may be felt for several days.
How many treatments will I need?
Even one single Reiki session may make a difference. However a course
of regular treatments may be more effective. These could be weekly,
fortnightly or less often depending on individual needs. A treatment plan
will be discussed with you and reviewed as necessary. This will always be
subject to your own preferences and can be changed at any time in line
with your progress.
