Reiki

Reiki is a practice that has been around for thousands of years and was re-discovered in Japan in the 1800s by Mikao Usui, becoming known as USUI Reiki

In its simplest meaning, Reiki can be described as Universal Life Force Energy

Some may call this God, others the Universe, Source or a higher power. Whatever language resonates with you is entirely your own

There are many different types of Reiki practiced around the world. The Reiki I trained in, and am a teacher and practitioner of, is USUI Reiki, which originated in the East and was later brought into the West

Reiki is an energy-based spiritual practice where I act as a conduit for this energy

The goal?

To support a greater feeling of overall wellbeing for the body, mind and soul

I am the conduit, but I don't heal you

You heal you

Some people experience Reiki as helping them to

Feel more relaxed and peaceful
Ease feelings of stress and overwhelm
Support a sense of emotional and energetic balance
Feel more rested or uplifted
Connect more deeply with themselves and their spirituality

Who can benefit?

Anyone, whatever your beliefs

You don't need to follow a particular religion or spiritual path. You simply need to feel open to receiving Reiki and comfortable with the practice

What will I experience?

Reiki is different for everybody

The intention is to create a peaceful, relaxing and supportive space. You may feel warmth or different sensations in parts of your body, see colours or simply feel deeply relaxed

Some people experience lots, some people experience very little, and some don't notice anything during the session at all

All of these experiences are completely okay

Every Reiki session is different

Where?

One of the beautiful things about working with energy is that Reiki can be offered both in person and remotely

I offer in-person Reiki from my healing room in Ireland, and distance Reiki for people anywhere in the world

How long is a session?

A session is usually around 1 hour

This includes approximately 15 minutes beforehand to chat and answer any questions, followed by around 45 minutes of Reiki

What happens during an in-person session?

You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on my healing bed, with a blanket if you would like one

You simply relax and close your eyes while I work through various key energy points

Reiki can be offered without physical touch, with my hands working just above the body, or, if you are comfortable with it, with gentle and appropriate touch at certain points

There is absolutely no pressure to have physical contact

What about distance Reiki?

If we have arranged a distance Reiki session, find yourself somewhere comfortable where you won't be disturbed

You might like to light a candle, play some relaxing music or use a favourite aromatherapy oil if that's something you normally enjoy

Put your phone on silent, have some water nearby and simply allow yourself some quiet time

I may ask you for a recent photograph with your eyes visible, or we may arrange a short call or video beforehand

Before your session

~ Keep hydrated

~ Avoid having a very heavy meal for a few hours beforehand

After your session

~ Drink plenty of water

~ Be gentle with yourself

~ Give yourself some quiet time if you can

~ Perhaps avoid vigorous activity for a few hours

And if you have any concerns following your session, please get in touch with me

How often?

There is no set rule for how often you should have Reiki

Some people like a monthly session, others may come every few months, while some choose to have several sessions over a period of time

It really is personal to you and where you are on your own life journey

There is no right or wrong

As with everything I offer, you are in the driving seat

Listen to yourself, notice what you need and trust your own intuition 💜
