Reiki is a Japanese healing therapy which uses the life force energy of the client to balance the body. By channelling energy Reiki activates the body’s natural healing processes to help to bring homeostasis emotionally, physically and spiritually.

We all have an energy field that flows through us.  Sometimes, over time this energy field can become depleted and this can disrupt the life force and reduce the efficient working of the organs and cells in the physical body. Reiki raises the vibrational energy of the life force which, in turn clears, strengthens and heals the organs. Some think that Reiki promotes relaxation, calms the mind and gives a sense of peace and well-being and this helps to encourage the body to heal itself.

Reiki is very often used a complimentary therapy to conventional treatments. It has been known to help with the following:

• Relieves pain
• Reduces stress and helps with relaxation
• Improves sleep
• Helps produce feeling of peace and well-being
• Relieves anxiety
• Calms the mind
• Helps to balance the emotions…Fear, anger, grief
• Good for prevention of illness
• Boosts the immune system
• Improves mental clarity

It is usual to spend a considerable time on the first session with a client and using a very holistic approach, to ascertain the main aspects of concern to be addressed during this visit. This includes looking at lifestyle, diet, stress levels, exercise and other matters that may arise.

The client then lies on the plinth, fully clothed and the session, which is tailored to the individual needs of the client begins. The highest priority, whether it is electrical, emotional, nutritional and structural will always come up first and as all of the issues are worked through it is like peeling back the layers of an onion to help the client’s energy to come back into balance. It is quite usual, following a session for the client to report feeling better, lighter, more in control and less stressed.

The most important part of a Kinesiology session, in my opinion is for the client to feel that they are now empowered. They are much more consciously aware of where their energy/life is out of balance and they have the know-how to address the issues one by one and the feeling of over-whelm they may have been feeling has diminished. Usually the client feels much more in control, they know what they want and they feel that they have the capability to achieve it.
