Reiki and Guided/Intuitive Energy Work
Reiki and Guided/Intuitive Energy Work
When we are in excellent health, there is a powerful flow of energy, or ki, through the body. However, during stressful times, this energy flow is slowed down or restricted, manifesting as illness, mental or emotional upset or a general feeling of being “out of sorts”.
Reiki
The healing energy flows to wherever it is needed in the body; promoting deep relaxation and a feeling of profound wellbeing and greater inner calm. Reiki is suitable for people of all ages and in all states of health and can help to kick start your body’s own natural healing abilities, bringing you back to a more healthy and balanced state.
Where appropriate, I will often incorporate Reiki into other Approaches, including Massage, Thermo-Auricular Therapy (Hopi Ear Candling), Holistic Hypnotherapy and Reflexology.
Depending on your specific needs, targeted sessions, e.g. weekly or fortnightly may be advised. Regular monthly sessions throughout the year are a powerful way to utilise the benefits of Reiki.
I work with Usui Reiki and Usui Tibetan Reiki.
Guided/Intuitive Energy Work
I offer guided and intuitive energy healing which adopts the same intent but with a less “structured” approach (e.g. without the use of symbols and methods of any particular system). I am happy to work in both ways and might advise on this in any particular situation.
Frequently Asked Questions – Reiki and Guided/Intuitive Healing
The following questions and answers are based on my experience of working with Reiki – the questions that are most frequently asked. Should you be unable to find the information that you are looking for within the site, please use the General Enquiry Form and I will reply as soon as I can.
It is important with all medical conditions, particularly where prescription medicines are involved, that any changes you experience are monitored and discussed with your GP or consultant.
What does having a Reiki or Healing session involve?
Following a consultation about your health and your needs, the session will normally be carried out with you lying on a massage couch or on the floor on a futon mattress – you will be fully clothed, unless this is part of an integrated session where you may be removing clothes for a massage, for example, or if you choose otherwise.
You will be invited to lie on your back and may be invited to turn over at some point, but not necessarily. As you will see from my website, your comfort is up to you and, should you wish to change position at any point, I would welcome this instead of you remaining in a position which did not feel comfortable or “right”.
At the end of the session, you will have a chance to chat, reflect, feedback, or just be quiet.
Does Reiki and Healing Involve Touch?
Not necessarily, and certainly if you’d rather not be touched. I usually find that my sessions involve elements of both touch and non-touch, depending on what’s going on with you and how I may be guided to work.
If touch is involved, it will be a gentle “laying of hands” on the body, often around the main energy centres (Chakras), feet, hands and perhaps specific areas of injury, pain or awareness. There is no fixed way of working as we are all individuals.
I may also involve some gentle movements, manipulations and rocking techniques.
At times, I may be working close beside you or at the other end of the room.
Can Reiki/Healing be carried out as an online session?
YES. Reiki and Healing sessions can be carried out without you being present. This is often referred to as Distant Healing. Where possible, I find it useful to incorporate a 15 min or so chat/feedback on Zoom at the start and end of the session, however this is not essential.
Healing can also be sent to a particular time, place or situation.
