Reiki History

Reiki is an ancient secret which is thought to have been rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan. There are many Reiki schools, many of which are used to complement the Usui school of Reiki. The art of Reiki healing was brought over to the west by Mrs Takata, who became a Reiki master after receiving incredible Reiki treatments herself. However, the roots of this history were lost during World War II and stories now differ, without Mrs Takata we may have had no knowledge of this wonderful gift at all. She passed the gift on to more healers and created Reiki masters to carry on this ancient healing through out the world.

How it Works

The treatment works by the healer placing their hands either on your body or just above it and allowing energy to flow into the person or object being healed, acting as a flowing channel of Reiki. Energy cannot be taken from you or put in the wrong place, Reiki will channel your energy in the way that will benefit you the most.

Everyday life as well as traumatic events can put us out of balance. Energy is constantly running through us, through our bodies as well as our mind and spirit. There are seven major energy centres in our bodies, these are called Chakras. If these energies become unbalanced they can cause physical and mental symptoms, the natural flow of energy is blocked and therefore preventing the body from functioning freely, Reiki can rectify this allowing the energy to flow from each Chakra with no interference or blockage.

Benefits

Reiki cannot cause any harm at all, and will always be used where it is needed and as much as is needed. It can be used on anyone and anything: people, animals, plants, food etc. All people can receive Reiki healing, no matter what age or how frail or unwell they are. It can help anyone, whether suffering a serious or minor condition, both physical and mental. Reiki is powerful, but cannot change destiny, it will work with the higher powers for the best for you.
