Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of stress reduction. It is a Japanese technique used to increase relaxation and therefore promote healing. Dr. Mikao Usui rediscovered it in the early 1900s though it has been practised for centuries. It is based on the concept that an 'unseen life energy' flows through us. If this energy is low then we are more likely to become sick or stressed. If it is high then we are more able to be happy and healthy. Reiki can work effectively in conjunction with other medical or therapeutic techniques and may help to relieve side effects and promote healing. American hospitals are beginning to integrate reiki within treatments provided on the wards with good results (see 'Reiki in Hospitals' pp76-86 in Brand W. (1998), Reiki for a New Millennium, USA , Vision Publications, ISBN 1-886785-02-3)

Reiki is administered by the 'laying on of hands' or by the practitioner positioning hands just above the body. You remain fully clothed throughout and the sensation can be one of profound relaxation, temperature variations, tactile sensations or none of these. The balancing experience may begin a cleansing process on all levels - physical as well as emotional. Click here for more information about our Reiki Treaments.

Reiki Training

Reiki becomes a way of life allowing you to live your life in a more effective way, prioritizing the important things and learning to let go of unnecessary negative aspects of your existence. People who practice other therapies often find that reiki enhances their primary therapy. There are different levels of reiki which you progress through at a rate that allows you to develop your skills and awareness. The training at this centre is based on the developing core curriculum from the UK Reiki Federation which is working closely with national standard setting bodies to ensure professional competence.
