Reiki

Reiki was ‘discovered’ and developed by Mikao Usui after he spent three weeks fasting and meditating on a mountain top.The word Reiki itself can be translated as meaning ‘universal life force energy’ and it is taught that anyone can access this once they have been through an attunement or initiation process.A reiki treatment does not involve massage or manipulation, it is a non invasive gentle laying on of hands which takes place when the client is fully clothed. In fact some practitioners do not touch their clients at all preferring to treat ‘hands off’, and distant healings are also done.Once you have learned reiki you can use it to self heal as well as to heal others.It is a spiritual practise, but is not related to any particular belief system or religion. There are 5 principals by which those who practise reiki try to live…Just for today…..Do not angerDo not worryHonour your parents, teachers and eldersEarn your living honestlyShow gratitude to all living things
