The 5 Principles of Reiki

Reiki is a healing technique that was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1920. The word Reiki is derived from the Japanese kanji alphabet where ‘rei’ means ‘universal life force’ and ‘ki’ translates to ‘energy’. So Reiki is actually ‘universal life force energy’. The energy exists within all of us and all that surrounds us. An excerpt from the translation on a monument to Mikao Tsui at the Seihoji Temple in Tokyo states:

1. Do not become ANGRY

2. WORRY about nothing

3. Express one's GRATITUDE

4. Be DILIGENT in work

5. Be KIND to others

These became the five Reiki principles used during each Reiki session.

How Does Reiki Work?

Using my hands, they are placed over your chakra centres where universal energy is moved into your body. The channeled energy may assist to move negative energy out of your body, grounding you and making you feel clearer and centred. The negative energy people often suffer from is stress, anxiety, and muscle tension and reiki can benefit these concerns.

What To Expect?

As the client, you will always remain fully clothed for the duration of the session. You will lay on a comfortable massage table with a blanket placed over your body to keep you warm. In the background meditative music will gently play as you begin to ease your mind when I start a 'meditative journey', with you to guide you into your 'scared space' where I leave you. I then begin Reiki by placing my hands gently on your chakra energy centres. During Reiki, crystals are applied over your energy centres to clear and balance your aura. The tesla purple plates are already under the blankets which help generate a positive energy field around your body. Most people, during Reiki report feeling a radiating warmth from my hands but it can also be cool as well, and sometimes your head feels lighter as the energy works its magic. Everyone has a different experience when they are open minded.
