By inAlan Slater, Complementary therapies, Healing, Holistic Vet

REIKI (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy‘.  It is a system of natural healing, founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.

We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things. When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us, and we experience a sense of wellbeing. It is a tradition open to any belief system.

Reiki treatments are gentle and soothing. Clients regularly report feeling peace, balance, positivity and wellbeing at the end of a treatment. They leave feeling more able to cope with the stresses in their everyday lives.

Clients perceive the Reiki energy in different ways. Here are some of the things they have described:

  • A wonderful glowing radiance flowing through and around them
  • Fizzy energy
  • Warmth/Heat
  • Being bathed in colours
  • A deep sense of relaxation
  • Intense light
