Reiki Healing
What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a healing technique that originated in Japan and is based on the principle that the practitioner can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. Our practitioners are all trained in the 5 principles of Reiki healing.
We all use our hands to generate the ‘chi’ energy. Our hands are placed over your chakra centers, to channel universal energy into your body. This channeled energy may assist in moving negative energy out of your body, grounding you, and making you feel clearer and more centered. Types of negative energy that people often suffer from include stress, anxiety, and muscle tension, all of which may benefit from Reiki.
What are the 5 Principles of reiki?
Reiki is a healing technique that was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1920. The word Reiki is derived from the Japanese kanji alphabet where ‘rei’ means ‘universal life force’ and ‘ki’ translates to ‘energy’. So Reiki is actually ‘universal life force energy’. The energy exists within all of us and all that surrounds us. An excerpt from the translation on a monument to Mikao Tsui at the Seihoji Temple in Tokyo states:
Do not become ANGRY
WORRY about nothing
Express one's GRATITUDE
Be DILIGENT in work
Be KIND to others
These became the five Reiki principles used during each Reiki session.

How does reiki work?

The channeled energy may assist to move negative energy out of your body, grounding you and making you feel clearer and centred. The negative energy people often suffer from is stress, anxiety, and muscle tension and reiki can benefit these concerns.
What to expect during a reiki session?
With Anna:
As the client, you will remain fully clothed for the duration of the session and lie on a comfortable massage table. A blanket will be placed over your body to keep you warm, and meditative music will play softly in the background to help ease your mind. Anna will guide you on a meditative journey to your sacred space before beginning Reiki by placing her hands gently on your chakra energy centers. Crystals are applied over your energy centers during the session to help clear and balance your aura, and tesla purple plates will already be under the blankets to generate a positive energy field around your body.
With Sakuna:
During Reiki Healing sessions with Sakuna, clients will experience a beautiful meditation to create a sense of calmness, followed by a gentle chakra balancing. This sets the stage for the nurturing and transformative practice of Reiki, enabling clients to feel grounded, present, and centered. Sakuna believes that everyone possesses the capability to heal themselves if they are provided with the right tools and support.
After a Reiki Session, most people report feeling radiating warmth from the practitioner hands, although it can also feel cool. Some people also experience a lighter sensation in their head and calmness as the energy works its magic. Everyone's experience is unique and depends on their level of openness.
With Deborah:
In preparing for my Reiki sessions, I always do a 5-10 min meditation, where I welcome my guides and ask for protection, love and clarity. Following this, I welcome my client’s guides and set the intention that they receive what is needed for their highest good.
With Donna:
During my Reiki sessions I prepare the room by clearing the space and then grounding myself ready to do the work. I introduce myself to my clients, explaining the technique and how the energy of Reiki is guided through me to work on unblocking and clearing what needs to be energetically cleared.
