Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a subtle, natural, vibrational, hands-on energy healing system that promotes balance in each body system; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

It is gentle and safe having no known contra-indications, truly aligning with the Hippocratic Oath of “First, do no harm”.

I practice traditional Reiki, known as Usui Reiki, founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan. I achieved my first and second degree training within a month of each other and my lineage can be traced through my direct Reiki Master in New Zealand, back to Dr Usui in Japan.

How can it help?

With its ability to release blocks across all four body systems, Reiki forms an integral part of the Holistic Life Coaching model.

On a physical level, Reiki has been clinically shown to regulate a healthy heart rate, trigger the relaxation response and supports the body’s self-healing ability.

Our bodies have a network of tubes made up of collagen filled with a very fine fluid, called the myofascial system. This system links the entire body and carries signals in the form of electrical light pulses or biophotons (meaning biological light). These are said to be the smallest sparks of conscious energy, allowing all cells to communicate with each other. Recent research has verified that biophotons are increased as a result of Reiki treatments.

There is increasing research data on the mind-body connection; the effects that our thoughts and emotions have on the health of our physical body. We have also discovered the plasticity of our brains; essentially the ability to grow new neural pathways and replace old ones.

It has been suggested that Reiki may be one of the mechanisms for rewiring the brain and that Reiki supports the treatment of stress, anxiety and depression.

What can I expect in a Reiki session?

During a session you’ll lay down or sit comfortably while fully clothed. I’ll place my hands lightly on your body allowing a free flow of universal energy. Each session is unique, and you may experience a range of physical and emotional responses. As it also supports physical detoxing, I recommend drinking water post treatment to help your body flush toxins and also to be easy on yourself for the next day or so.

What if I can’t be there in person?

Distance or Absentee Reiki is a process I offer to provide healing to someone who is unable to be physically present with me. Energy can transcend distance, time or space therefore it can be sent to you, wherever you are, regardless of your location. It can also be sent to loved ones on your behalf – sending healing Reiki energy to those in your circle may support your holistic healing journey.

Please Note: As with all complimentary healing modalities offered by The Holistic Life Coach Ltd, Reiki is not a substitute for, nor designed to replace, qualified medical advice, prescribed medicines or traditional care/treatments.

When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.
