I first heard about Reiki when I was studying kinesiology in Tipperary. I had done a number of modules and needed more points and another therapy in order to qualify. My tutor recommended I study Reiki. I was really ticking a box, but it turned into a passion.
Reiki is just an amazing therapy that I use in the clinic every day. I use it in all treatments, whether a singular treatment or in combination with other therapies.
So, what is Reiki? Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It is based on the belief that there is a universal life force and that this energy flows through all living things. This energy can be harnessed and directed by a qualified Reiki Master to promote healing and balance in the body, mind and soul.
During a session, the practitioner lightly places their hands just above the client’s body with the intention of guiding this energy to areas that may be out of balance.
Using Reiki in the clinic I find is most beneficial in bringing calm relaxation and excellent to bring about the release of negative emotion. It is extremely supportive to clients with:
Depression – Where a sense of lightness and release can be felt.
Anxiety – People with anxiety also feel a sense of calm ease.
Grief – Being able to go on and get through the day.
Loneliness – People feel that they are not on their own.
Pain relief – Some individuals find relief from chronic pain conditions as it helps to restore balance.
Stress – It’s known to bring deep relaxation and bring the nervous system into balance.
Sleep issues – As Reiki helps with sleep and relaxation, it can contribute to better sleep quality. People often remark on a good night’s sleep after Reiki sessions.
Balance – Reiki helps the restoration of balance in the physical body, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
Peace – Oh, to be at peace!
While Reiki is a treatment that brings a great sense of peace, I have often said to clients that if I could bottle the feeling after treatment, it would be a number one seller!
We all like to be in harmony, and I believe that Reiki is a great tool to restore just that. While Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, it definitely serves as a complementary therapy that can balance overall health and vitality.
Whether used to manage stress, support personal growth, or aid in recovery from illness, Reiki at the clinic has my respect as a transformative practise in a world of Wellness.
Some comments after treatments:
“I could stay here all day”
“Thank you for that, I feel amazing, I can’t describe how I feel. Wow!”
“I feel so much lighter in myself, like a weight has lifted off me”
“I feel so calm and relaxed”
