"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly"
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy. It is a system of energy healing which encourages the healing of body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Reiki encourages and supports your positive personal choices such as

improving diet

taking more exercise

devoting time for rest or leisure activities

reducing your need for alcohol and tobacco.

To receive Reiki (pronounced ray-key) you simply lie down on a treatment couch, fully clothed. I place my hands gently and passively on different parts of your body, from the crown of the head to your feet. Each position is held for several minutes.
There is no pressure, manipulation or massage.

Typically, you will enter a very deep state of relaxation. Your mind will calm, your breathing will slow down and you will feel centred, positive and balanced.

Engendering greater inner harmony and balance, regular Reiki treatments may support you to have a calmer response to life's challenges.

Reiki's gentle energy is adaptable to most medical conditions and is safe for people of all ages, including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, in any situation.

Being complementary, Reiki is effective alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies, expanding treatment options.

Reiki can enhance your everyday living - regular sessions may help you to be healthier and more resourceful.

SOME MORE ABOUT REIKI...

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a healing system that channels universal life-force energy. This system was originally developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900's in Japan. Reiki is available to everyone. Anyone of any age or illness level can receive Reiki. Even newborn babies or people at the end of life can benefit from the relaxation that Reiki provides.

What Reiki Isn't.
Reiki is not religious. Reiki is totally nondenominational. You can practice any religion (or none) and still benefit from Reiki. It is an energy-healing system and not a manipulative system or massage.

Understanding how Reiki works.
Reiki works to heal you at the level of your energy to the root of any disease, imbalance or disharmony. Reiki is considered to be positive (no harm can come from Reiki) and intelligent (the energy heals what is needed even if you don't consciously know what you need). The recipient draws the right amount of energy to just the place where it's needed. Reiki not only heals diseases, but also amplifies innate abilities, balances the spirit, makes the body healthy, and thus helps achieve happiness.

The Reiki Principles
An important feature of Reiki, which is sometimes overlooked, is that Reiki was designed as a potent tool for personal and spiritual growth. To get the full benefit and value of Reiki, you may wish to aim to live by the Reiki Principles. These are five simple statements describing how to live:

Just for today, don't get angry.
Just for today, don't worry.
Just for today, be grateful.
Just for today, be honest in your work.
Just for today, be kind to yourself and others.

The most important part of the Reiki principles is the beginning statement: just for today. Today is really where it's at. Yesterday is over, and tomorrow hasn't happened yet. If your thoughts and energy are in the past or future, there's little time left to experience the present. When you're not in today, that's when you feel that life is passing you by.

Don't get angry.
Everyone feels anger at one time or another. Triggers for anger occur when someone does you wrong, hurts your feelings, or challenges your security. The goal of this Reiki Principle is to express your anger in a way that doesn't hurt anyone, including yourself. Anger that is properly channelled can be used to further personal growth. The anger is a signal that you have an imbalance or conflict that needs to be addressed.

You can transform your anger my making changes in your thinking or actions. Not getting angry doesn't mean to push away your anger. Suppressed anger can come back to bite you (and others). Like a smoldering flame, anger that is submerged will rise again, perhaps even stronger and more destructive. Feeling angry isn't pleasant. Sometimes you may be tempted to drown the anger in food, alcohol, or other addictive substances. You can't run from the anger. Use it instead to lead you farther in your spiritual journey. Your anger is actually a great teacher to lead you to your truth.

Don't worry.
A worrier is a person who worries about bad things that may happen. The irony is that worry drains the body and mind of the energy it actually needs to deal with any crisis! The best way to prepare for life's situations - and life always thrusts some some sort of challenge - is to be in optimum condition in mind, body and spirit.

Most of the time what you worry about never happens! Practicing the Reiki Principles regularly will keep you in better shape to handle what problems do arise in your life.

Be grateful.
Appreciating what you have, no matter what it is, is essential for happiness. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude helps develop humility because you're acknowledging that you're dependent on help from other people and spirit.

Be honest in your work.
Work is how you connect with the world around you and provide for the exchange of resources (money) that allows you to stay warm and well fed. The type of work you do is not as important as your attitude and dedication to the project.
And remember: just for today.

Be kind to yourself and others.
It may seem an obvious statement, but if you are kind to other people they are usually kind to you. This seems all the more reasonable when you consider that, at an energetic level, we are all connected. There is no place for prejudice, judgement, cruelty or indifference in a world where we are all connected, all a part of the whole, all One. All people, animals, insects and plants - and even the planet itself - have a vital role to play and should therefore be valued, respected and treated with kindness.

Start by being kind to yourself. You can't really love others if you don't love yourself. By loving yourself, you also demonstrate to others how you expect to be treated. The funny thing about cultivating loving thoughts is that they have a way of growing and making the world a place filled with love and light.

Love is the essence of Reiki.

Namaste.
