What is Reiki & how can it help with change?

Re-discovered in the late 1800’s by Dr Mikao Usui, reiki is an ancient system of natural healing using the laying-on of hands originally believed to have been used by Tibetan Monks.

Reiki is the Japanese word for Universal Life Force Energy and is available to everyone. No tools are required only the healers hands. It is complementary to standard medicine and can work on emotional, mental, physical and spiritual levels.

Reiki energy moves through the healer’s body to comfort, soothe, relieve pain, speed up physical healing, stop bleeding and release emotional trauma from the present and the past. It never causes pain or ever does harm.

Illness and disease in the body are blocks of lower vibrational energy in the person's energy field. Any block in the person's meridians will cause dis-ease. These blocks are usually caused by negative and out-worn thought patterns, emotions or reactions to experiences. Reiki works by raising the vibration of the block in the energy field and releasing it on all levels and bringing forth any problems that can then be dealt with.

Each treatment is different and clients will report differing effects, such as increased warmth, or cold, or tingling sensations.

Reiki can be delivered directly or distantly to a client, with clients being in a different location to the healer but still receiving the benefit of the reiki.

Since reiki works not only on a physical level, it can help with unblocking energy which is creating resistance to change which arises from emotional, spiritual or mental blocks helping clients think in a different way once they have had these channels unblocked. It can help to calm the mind allowing different thought patterns to emerge.

Whether you have just reiki or incorporate it into a coaching session, there are definite benefits to be had!
