Reiki Sessions

Description

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle healing practice that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. The word comes from Japan: Rei meaning “universal” and Ki meaning “life force energy.” It’s based on the understanding that this vital energy flows through all living things, and when balanced, we feel healthier, calmer, and more aligned.

Developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, Reiki is now used worldwide to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing process.

How does Reiki work?

During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels universal life force energy through gentle hand placements on or just above the body. This energy flows where it’s needed most, helping to release blockages, restore balance, and bring a sense of peace.

Some people view Reiki as a spiritual practice, others simply experience it as deep relaxation and stress relief — both perspectives are valid.

What happens in a session?

• We start with a short consultation to focus on your needs.
• You remain fully clothed, lying down in a comfortable, quiet space.
• The Reiki treatment is given through specific hand placements, allowing energy to flow naturally.
• Sessions usually last 60 minutes.

What does Reiki feel like?

Everyone’s experience is unique, but common sensations include:

• Warmth or tingling
• Gentle pulsing of energy
• Waves of calm or lightness
• Seeing colours, images, or simply drifting into deep relaxation

Many people describe leaving the session feeling lighter, calmer, and more centred.

After your session

The effects of Reiki often continue to unfold afterwards. You may feel peaceful, energised, or occasionally a little tired as your body adjusts. Drinking water and resting when possible will support the process.
