REIKI / ANIMAL REIKI AND FEATHER STONE ENERGY HEALING

SPACE TO RELAX

When you need to relax and unwind or restore your dwindling energy levels, Reiki is a beautiful therapy that supports the body’s own natural healing system and creates a deep state of relaxation, promoting physical and emotional wellbeing. As a complementary therapy it is safe to work alongside traditional medicine and is growing in popularity within the NHS following research supporting its benefits to patients on Oncology wards.

Reiki restores our energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. It gently and effectively opens blocked meridians and chakras and clears the energy bodies, leaving you feeling totally relaxed and at peace. This natural therapy is powerful, yet gentle treating not only your body, but also your emotions, mind and spirit. 

Nurturing greater inner harmony and balance, regular Reiki treatments promote a calmer response to life’s challenges. Its gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages, including newborns, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, and the elderly. Reiki can enhance everyday living, and regular sessions may help to promote development of a healthier, more resourceful state of being. 

Reiki can also be combined with Feather Stone Energy Healing, a type of energy healing which uses the energy of feathers to serve as a blade to cut cords and stagnant energy and stones which are placed on the body to absorb and release energy. Crystals can also be incorporated into reiki sessions to boost the energy and healing properties. Your practitioner will discuss these options with you prior to your first session.


What will i experience?

All of our Reiki treatments are carried out by our Professional Reiki Master Practitioner who is also the UK Reiki Federation Representative for Edinburgh and the Lothians and a Medic-Care Distance Reiki Practitioner. 

Your practitioner will begin your session by taking a short case history and discussing any areas of concern before talking through your treatment options. Taking into account your personal preferences and needs, a bespoke treatment plan will then be discussed and agreed with you.

You can receive a Reiki treatment seated on a chair or lying down on a therapy table.  Most people prefer to lie down so they can completely relax, but for those who struggle with using therapy beds or have mobility issues, sessions can be carried out while sitting in a chair. There is no need to remove any clothing other than your shoes as Reiki energy passes easily through all materials, but you may wish to wear something loose and comfortable so you can feel at ease throughout your treatment. 

Your practitioner will then place their hands gently on your body and you will experience the energy flowing through them into you. For those who would prefer no contact, the therapist can hover their hands above your body and you will still benefit from the treatment. Usually your practitioner will use a mix of hands on and hands off placement. 

Reiki involves your practitioner using meditative techniques and the use of symbols and you may see them tracing symbols above or over your body to help focus the energy. There are various techniques your practitioner will work such as aura clearing or soul retrieval. If you would like to know more about the techniques, your practitioner will happily discuss these with you, either at the beginning or end of a session. 

As energy transcends time and space, Reiki can be sent to heal the past and also sent to support future events that will benefit from relaxation and healing. Reiki can also be received through distance healing and we offer distance healing via Zoom so that you can experience it in real time. We can also combine Reiki with crystal healing or any other of our treatments. 

During the session you might experience Reiki energy as warmth, heat, tingling, coolness or coldness at certain parts of your body and this is all completely natural. You may also experience an emotional release, and could feel tearful, crying or even laughing, and again this is a natural way of your body releasing suppressed emotions.

We are all individuals, and each and every treatment is a different experience every time. A full body treatment usually takes 60 minutes but for deeper relaxation or if there are areas that would benefit from more time being spent on them, 90-minute sessions are available.

A single Reiki treatment can make a difference to bringing your body into balance, and with every treatment, it helps your body maintain balance longer. You can choose the frequency of your treatments. Some clients come for Reiki as and when they feel the need, while others prefer a shorter session but attend more regularly. It really is down to your preference and, as you start to recognise how ‘well’ you feel after each treatment, you will know when you are starting to feel out of balance and that it’s time to come for another treatment.
