Crystal Clear Healing of Clear Quartz

In the enchanting world of energy healing, the marriage between crystals and Reiki has become a captivating avenue for those seeking holistic well-being. Among the myriad of crystals, Clear Quartz emerges as a radiant and versatile gem, revered for its purity and ability to amplify energy. As we embark on this exploration, let’s unravel the transformative benefits of incorporating Clear Quartz into the practice of Reiki healing.
Understanding the Essence of Clear Quartz:
Clear Quartz, often referred to as the “Master Healer,” is a crystalline mineral with a transparent or translucent appearance. Its name is derived from the Greek word “krustallos,” meaning frozen ice, reflecting the ancient belief that Clear Quartz was eternally frozen water. Renowned for its high vibrational frequency and clarity, this crystal is celebrated for its ability to enhance spiritual growth, amplify energy, and promote overall well-being.
Benefits of Combining Clear Quartz with Reiki Healing:

1. Amplifying Reiki Energy: Clear Quartz is celebrated for its unique property of amplification. When strategically placed during a Reiki session, it magnifies the healing energy, creating a more potent and expansive experience for both the practitioner and the recipient. This amplification can intensify the benefits of Reiki, promoting a deeper state of relaxation and balance.

2. Balancing and Cleansing Energies: With its purifying energy, Clear Quartz acts as a potent cleanser for stagnant or blocked energies. In Reiki healing, the crystal helps to balance the subtle energy fields, ensuring a harmonious flow of life force energy. This balancing effect contributes to a sense of rejuvenation and vitality.

3. Chakra Alignment and Activation: Clear Quartz is associated with all chakras, making it a versatile tool for chakra alignment and activation. Placing Clear Quartz on each chakra during a Reiki session facilitates a balanced energy flow throughout the entire energy system, promoting overall health and well-being.

4. Enhancing Clarity and Intuition: Just as Clear Quartz is transparent, it is believed to enhance mental clarity and intuition. In Reiki sessions, the crystal can assist both the practitioner and the recipient in gaining insights into underlying issues, fostering a deeper understanding of emotional and spiritual aspects that may require attention.

5. Strengthening the Connection to Higher Realms: Known as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, Clear Quartz aids in establishing a clear channel for spiritual guidance. Incorporating this crystal into Reiki sessions enhances the connection to higher frequencies, promoting a sense of spiritual awareness and allowing for guidance from higher sources.

6. Elevating Emotional Healing: Clear Quartz’s high vibrational frequency extends to emotional healing. In Reiki sessions, the crystal assists in releasing emotional blockages and promoting emotional balance. Its pure and uplifting energy can help individuals let go of negative emotions, paving the way for a more positive and serene emotional state.

7. Boosting the Immune System: Clear Quartz is believed to have a positive impact on the immune system. In Reiki healing, the crystal’s energy can be directed towards supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and defend against illness, contributing to overall physical well-being.

Conclusion:
As we traverse the realms of energy healing, Clear Quartz emerges as a beacon of purity and amplification. Its crystal-clear essence enhances the transformative potential of Reiki, creating a radiant symphony of healing energies. Whether you’re seeking balance, clarity, or a deeper connection to your spiritual self, Clear Quartz stands ready to guide you on a journey of holistic well-being. Embrace the crystal-clear healing power of Clear Quartz in your Reiki sessions, and let its luminous energy illuminate the path to a harmonious and rejuvenated life.

A Guide to Amplifying Healing Energies.

Crystals have been revered for their unique energetic properties, and when combined with the ancient healing art of Reiki, they become powerful tools for promoting balance and well-being. Selecting the right crystal for a Reiki session is a crucial step in enhancing the therapeutic effects of the energy work. In this article, we’ll explore the factors to consider when choosing a crystal for your Reiki session, helping you harness the synergistic energies of crystals and Reiki to foster healing and spiritual growth.

1. Intention Setting: Begin by clarifying the purpose of your Reiki session. What specific healing or balance are you seeking? Whether it’s emotional healing, stress relief, spiritual growth, or physical well-being, having a clear intention will guide you in selecting the most appropriate crystal. Each crystal carries its own unique vibrational frequency and is associated with different properties, making certain crystals better suited for specific intentions.

2. Understanding Crystal Properties: Familiarize yourself with the properties of various crystals. For example:
◦ Amethyst: Known for its calming and spiritually enhancing properties, it’s often used for stress relief and promoting a sense of peace.
◦ Rose Quartz: A crystal of love and compassion, perfect for emotional healing and enhancing relationships.
◦ Clear Quartz: A versatile crystal known for amplifying energy and intentions, making it a great choice for general healing purposes.
◦ Citrine: Associated with abundance and positive energy, ideal for manifesting goals and boosting confidence.

3. Personal Connection: Trust your intuition and
personal connection with the crystals. When choosing a crystal for a Reiki session, hold different crystals in your hands and pay attention to how each one feels. Notice any sensations, vibrations, or intuitive messages that may arise. Your body and spirit often have a natural affinity for certain crystals, guiding you toward the ones that align with your energy and intentions.

4. Chakra Alignment: Consider the chakra system when selecting a crystal for your Reiki session. Each crystal is associated with specific chakras, or energy centers in the body. Aligning the crystal’s properties with the corresponding chakra can help address imbalances in that particular area. For example:
◦ Amber or Citrine: Associated with the solar plexus chakra, aiding in confidence and personal power.
◦ Rose Quartz: Aligned with the heart chakra, promoting love and emotional healing.
◦ Lapis Lazuli: Connected to the throat chakra, enhancing communication and self-expression.

5. Energy Sensitivity: If you’re particularly sensitive to energy, pay attention to how each crystal resonates with your own energy field. Some individuals may find certain crystals more stimulating or calming based on their unique energy signatures. Trusting your sensitivity can guide you in selecting crystals that complement and enhance your natural energy flow during a Reiki session.

6. Combining Crystals: Feel free to experiment with combining crystals to create a synergistic effect. Combining crystals that resonate with your intentions can amplify the overall healing energy during a Reiki session. However, be mindful not to overwhelm the energy field; sometimes, a single, well-chosen crystal may be more effective than multiple crystals.

Conclusion: Choosing the right crystal for a Reiki session is a deeply personal and intuitive process. By aligning the crystal’s properties with your intentions, understanding the chakra system, and trusting your own energy sensitivity, you can enhance the therapeutic effects of Reiki and crystals. Remember, the most effective crystal for your session is the one that resonates with you on a profound level, facilitating a harmonious flow of energy and contributing to your overall well-being. Explore, trust your intuition, and enjoy the transformative journey that comes with the union of crystals and Reiki energy.

Anxiety is a very common problem.

This is especially true at the moment with us all having more and more demands made on our time.

With all the bad news on TV and rising prices many of us feel some form of anxiety on a daily basis.

This can range from feeling a little nervous, but able to go on with our day-to-day lives, to feeling massively overloaded, which is it is a little more serious.

Although Anxiety is a normal human emotion, it can massively disrupt your everyday life, and may sometimes even be crippling.

Most of us have probably experienced Anxiety at one time or another.

Most commonly stressful thoughts about the past or the future are two of the biggest contributors to feeling anxiety, so let reiki help you practice staying in the present moment, which will allow you to calm down significantly.

How can Reiki help me?

Reiki is an ancient energy-based healing practice that uses touch and/or visualization to channel universal energy through your body.

Although some of the mechanisms by which Reiki may be working are unknown, research has suggested that it may be linked to changes in brain activity and heart rate, as well as the release of endorphins.

Either way Reiki is popularly used for relaxation and stress relief.

It can also help to boost your mood and support a healthy immune system.

There are more and more people seeking out reiki for anxiety relief because of it’s benefits such as being drug-free, non-invasive and doesn’t require any special equipment.

Here’s how to get relief with Reiki.

Take a look at where you are – and your levels of anxiety – right now.

  • Reiki can help you learn how to clear your mind and become more present.

  • Reiki will not only help with stress, but will also positively affect your physical health.

  • Reiki is an incredible tool for overcoming or managing anxiety.

  • There are many benefits to Reiki, including reduction of anxiety symptoms.

So what exactly happens?

In a full Reiki session, you’re usually lying down on a massage table fully clothed or sometimes sat in a chair.

The practitioner will gently rest their hands on or just above different areas of your body for a few minutes at a time.
A full treatment can last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour.

Some practitioners will perform a full hands-on session while others simply place their hands in the air above your body.

It is important to note that not everyone who practices Reiki applies it in the same way.

It seems everyone these days is aware of the “Law of Attraction” and people are much more comfortable with the idea that they can manifest the life they want and even the things they want in it.

What they are less sure about is “How to do it”.

Much has been written on the subject if fact there are many books and YouTube videos on the subject, so to cover it all is really beyond the scope of this post.

However I will endeavour to explain what I personally do and have had enormous success with.

First of all lets just get ourselves clear on what we mean by “The Law Of Attraction” and “Manifesting” as getting clear is going to useful later on.

What is the Law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction is the ability to attract and draw into our lives whatever we are focusing on. It does not recognize any faith or religion not does it discriminate between ages or genders, it does however recognize what you are giving your attention too.

So as to keep this all as brief as possible and you can get on with drawing whatever it is into your life, here goes.

Before you get going you may want to watch this 1967 film with Peter Cook and Dudley Moor called Bedazzled which excellently demonstrates what happens when you aren’t clear enough…and its funny.
The Method.

  • Decide what you want, spend some time on this and become really clear, in as much detail as you can.
  • Hold the image in your minds eye as clearly as possible.
  • Now try and introduce feelings to the picture. ( how would you feel when you achieve this goal).
  • Remember to keep a clear image of yourself in your visualization.
  • Now invoke your reiki as you would normally do so, rub your hands together for around 30 seconds and feel your energy ball between them. Not only will this energy act as the engine to power your drive your intention into reality but it will also help remove any blockages that may prevent it reaching you.
  • Work with your energy ball building up the energy within it, breath in the air and breath out the reiki (I know it’s impossible but do it anyway) down your arms and into the energy ball.
  • When it feels sufficiently full of energy imagine the thing you want to manifest in this energy ball as clearly as you can.
  • Let go of any doubts or restrictions on how this will come about.
  • Ask the Energy ball to go and do it’s work in a way that brings harm to none. Let it leave you and go about its work.

Allow yourself a moment to know that this is working and then go about your day.

 

I have used this method countless times and it has served me well. It has brought me work, finances and love.

Give it a go and see what happens.

When we talk about Reiki we often speak in general terms and don’t often differentiate between Reiki the pure energy and Reiki “the system”.

This is not usually that important as we are working towards a common end which is to help ourselves and others to heal.

Whilst those that have been through their Reiki training will be aware not everyone else will. So for the benefit for everyone trying to attain better health both physical and mental here goes.

We are all familiar with the idea of you are what you eat, and we generally understand that what we consume will affect our general heath and well being.

For example on those days when I eat junk food I feel sluggish and tired and just want to eat more, I certainty don’t feel like doing any exercise.

Every now and again this is not a bad thing none of us are perfect.

But in terms of being a useful channel for Reiki it makes sense that the fitter and in better health we are, the better can can channel Reiki energy.

When we are full of heavy to digest foods our energy is much denser and so we do not channel energy as efficiently as we could.
The same goes for our general level of fitness. Again on those days I don’t exercise I feel a little more sluggish than when I do. This is a double edged sword because before we increased our energy perception we didn’t notice this as much, but now we are aware what do we do?

Like most people these days life is busy, full of distractions and demands on our time.
With these increased pressures we can really benefit all the more from a bit of time to ourselves.

The problem is we all too often use that time to sit down have a coffee and watch a bit of T.V then before you know it it’s time to jump into action again.

So what is the solution?

Well Tony Robbins always talks about “no extra time” by which he goes on to talk about stacking things so that they take up “no extra time” such as listening to an audio book whilst running on the treadmill, or reading an actual book when on the train. In this same way we can do ourselves a big favour and help both our mind and body with Yoga.

I know…. But hear me out, while we are doing our yoga which is great for building muscle strength and core stability it is also an amazing method to increase our flexibility and boosting our metabolism as well.

We also benefit from the mental calmness and focus it helps to produce.

All these benefits also make us become more aware of the foods and drinks we are consuming… which bring us neatly back to the main point…to be better channels for Reiki.

If like me you don’t have much time to spare but would still like to do something then maybe Shapeshifter Yoga: with Kris Fondran is for you.

She has an incredible website and make it clear, you don’t need  “one or two hours — just 10 minutes”! (Even the busiest professionals have time for that) is all that is needed to yield results.

If you are interested I will leave the link to Shape Shifter Yoga here for you

Energy healing is a holistic practice that helps in activating the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated.The human body is a complete energy system in tune with the Universe. Any imbalance in the body creates an obstruction in the flow of energy, which results in illness. Energy therapies try to ensure that energies flowing within the body moves unobstructed.The most popular types of energy therapy are music therapy, reiki and therapeutic touch. Energy therapies can help people relax and improve their quality of life.

1. Cultures have studied the body’s energy centres for thousands of years.
Reiki is a Japanese tradition of energy healing and dates back to early 20th century. Chakras that are the seven energy transmission centres of the body, are extensively explained in the ancient Hindu texts. Meridians, the energy superhighways of the body are the roadmaps on which the Chinese practitioners have based acupuncture.

2. Energy healing is based on scientific principles, everything is made up of molecules. Even something as solid as a table is vibrating all the time and as humans, we, too are vibrating.When we say something has good vibes, it’s really about the person’s vibrating energy. Happy people vibrate on a higher frequency.Even places have vibes. When you enter a room in which a terrible fight has taken place, you can feel the dense energy and may want to leave right away. Beaches have a light vibe due to the salt and moving air. The air at the beach also vibrates at a higher frequency.

3. Anyone can benefit from energy healing. You don’t have to be spiritual to benefit from energy healing. It’s recommended to go in with an open mind for maximum benefits and any time is a good time to visit an energy healer.If you are anxious, stressed or physically drained, an energy healing session can help you relax and feel more balanced. And if you are already feeling good, there is always a chance to feel better.

4. Energy healing is always accessible There are many different types of energy healers that you can find almost everywhere. Reiki practitioners can be found all over the world and the best part about Reiki is that it can be given or received even if the practitioner and client are not in the same room. Acupuncture practitioners are also very easily available but the client needs to be physically present for the therapy. The modality stimulates the flow of chi to re-balance the body. Even massage is a type of energy healing practice as it releases the tension in muscles and the flow of lymph and allows for deeper relaxation.

5. You can maintain your energetic health at home Just like eating and brushing your teeth, energy cleansing is also a daily commitment. Once you meet an energy healer, you can keep the good vibes flowing by taking a bath in Epsom or pink Himalayan salts for 20 minutes whenever you feel heavy or stressed. Smudging or burning sage around you also clears your negative aura. High-vibe crystals have their own healing properties.

What are the three levels of reiki?

When I started my journey into the wonderful world of Reiki, I wasn’t sure what to expect, all I knew was, I needed to find out…
My first experience of Reiki was some months earlier when my sister gave me a reiki treatment.
I had never had anything like this before ,not even a massage and truth be told I was a little nervous.
As it turned out I needn’t have been it was a truly beautiful life changing experience that I still remember with absolute clarity after all these years.
With my first Reiki treatment completed I wanted to know more and my Sister arranged for me to meet with her Reiki master an amazing lady named Jennifer.
After I told Jennifer all about my experience and how I wanted to be able to continue on this journey of healing she told me that she had a level 1 class starting in a couple of months and I was welcome to join the class.

Without further hesitation I paid the fee in advance and eagerly waited for the weekend of my first degree to arrive.

Level 1. The First Degree (Shoden)

I have met several Reiki masters over the years and my understanding is that Reiki, as with many other practices are regarded as “healing arts” and as such have a certain amount of interpretation and intuitive adaptation.

Having said that there are many standardized elements to the proceedings which one must learn if one is to become adept at practice of Reiki.

What to expect during a Level 1 Attunement:
First of all you will learn a brief history of Reiki including an introduction to Mikao Usui the Founder of Reiki.

Level 1 is a practitioner’s first step into reiki and is open and available to anyone.
The focus during Level 1 is on opening the energy channels called chakras on a physical plane, allowing the practitioner to connect to the universal life force energy, (Rei” + “Ki” = “Reiki”,”Rei” translates as “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” “universal” or “cosmic life force” and “Ki” means life energy).
This energy flows from the Divine through the crown Chakra down to the heart and hands.
Many reiki masters emphasize self-reiki as the goal of the Level 1.
This is where we can begin to heal ourselves of our past and deal with our problems such as emotional, physical and spiritual maladies.
You are strongly advised to practice your Reiki on yourself every day for at least 21 days after you attunement as this will help to strengthen your connection to the Reiki flow

Reiki Level 2: The Second Degree (Okuden)

Level 2 is where students will learn the skills to practice reiki on others and open energy channels more deeply. (This is also the point at which you can charge money for Reiki as a service).
During your level 2 attunement you will receive the symbols of this level.
There are different schools of thought on how many symbols are given to the student during level 2.
You will receive at least 3 and at most 5 Reiki symbols, each one corresponds to a specific energy. Students are expected to learn these symbols and use them to bring the universal energy of reiki into their everyday lives in practical ways.
Perhaps the most exciting of the symbols can also help people provide reiki over long distances or send healing energy wherever it may be needed in the world.
However you can also use your symbols to bless your food and drinks before consuming them and as such take in the Reiki energy making you feel more energised and balanced.

Reiki Level 3: The Third Degree (Shinpiden) & Reiki Master

For many, the Third Degree and Reiki Master are considered to be the same and the names are used interchangeably. And for a lot of people the term Reiki Master imply that there is different or better quality Reiki energies available and lets not forget that Reiki Master sounds very cool and some people love the Ego trip.

However, some Masters separate Level 3 from Reiki Master.
The Reiki Master Level is traditionally considered the teacher’s level and masters are able to walk away and attune new Reiki practitioners.
Nevertheless many don’t feel comfortable or compelled to train and attune new students and their motivation is to receive the symbols associated with the level 3 and deepen their practice.

It is worth emphasizing at this point that becoming a Reiki master represents a deep commitment to the Reiki practice.

It is also considered good practice to allow a period of time to elapse between each level.
This gives the student time to practice their new skills and deepen their knowledge of each new level and enjoy each step of their journey it also help the Ego form running riot and going from novice to master in an afternoon.

Take time to enjoy your Reiki as it is a gift, use it for the good of all and the harm of none.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a traditional form of Japanese energy healing sometimes refereed to as Reiki healing.

The name “Reiki” pronounced “Rei” + “Ki” = “Reiki”,”Rei” means approximately translates as “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” “universal” or “cosmic life force” and “Ki” means life energy.

Reiki can be administered by “laying on hands” and is a non invasive technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

Reiki is NOT religious and safe which means it can be used by ANYONE regardless of their own chosen religion.

Reiki symbol

Reiki is an elegant, natural, reliable and safe form of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Reiki is an incredibly simple technique to learn, however it is quite unique in that it is transferred to the student “or vessel” during a Reiki class given by a Reiki master.

During the Reiki session the student is “attuned” by the Reiki master.

This Attunement allows the student to connect with an infinite source of divine energy thus improving ones overall health and well-being.

As I mentioned earlier Reiki is NOT a religion, however Mikao Usui the founder of Reiki decide to issue some guidelines to help us stay respectful and sincere in our practice.

It is IMPORTANT to realize that healing the spirit by consciously deciding to work on oneself is a necessary part of the Reiki healing experience.

In order for the Reiki healing to have the most benefit the client must accept a responsibility for his or her own healing and actively participate in it.

This can be as simple as not continuing with people, places or things which are known to be unhealthy for us.

Therefore, the Usui system of Reiki is more than the use of the Reiki energy. It must also include an active commitment of continual improvement.

Here are the 5 Reiki principles which are good to live by and will not cause any conflict regardless of whatever faith you follow.

The 5 reiki principles

Just for today, I will not worry.

Just for today, I will not be angry.

Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.

Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing.

Depression is an all to common affliction affecting around 400,000,000 worldwide according to W.H.O ( World Health Organization) figures. If and when it is left untreated it can lead to some serious problems which in turn can compound the sense of despair and isolation.
Depression can affect ANYONE regardless of age, sex, status or religious beliefs. It can affect any at any time and sometimes there is an obvious trigger such as a trauma and sometimes there is not.

Lady with head in hands
Sad lonely feeling depressed

Depression is a complicated condition and can have a wide range of effects upon the individual and to make it more difficult these effects can change resulting with times when you may fell some or all of the symptoms.

However there are some commonly agreed indicators that you may be experiencing depression, this is not a comprehensive list.

How you might feel.

  • down, upset or tearful
  • restless, agitated or irritable
  • guilty, worthless and down on yourself
  • empty and numb
  • isolated and unable to relate to other people
  • finding no pleasure in life or things you usually enjoy
  • a sense of unreality
  • no self-confidence or self-esteem
  • hopeless and despairing
  • suicidal.

How you might behave

    • Avoiding social events and activities you usually enjoy
    • difficulty speaking, thinking clearly or making decisions
    • losing interest in sex
    • difficulty remembering or concentrating on things
    • using more tobacco, alcohol or other drugs than usual
    • difficulty sleeping, or sleeping too much
    • feeling tired all the time
    • no appetite and losing weight, or eating too much and gaining weight
    • physical aches and pains with no obvious physical cause
    • moving very slowly, or being restless and agitated.

It is important that we clarify here that we are in NO way suggesting that Reiki is the only way to deal with depression Although it IS my personal preferred method.

What we ARE saying is that it can have a significant positive benefit.

Benefits of Reiki for Depression.
  • Reiki is relaxing and sometimes, this alone can be a a significant contribution to us feeling better.

  • When we are experiencing Reiki we are on the most basic level interacting and connecting with a compassionate person. It is easy to overlook the impact of this simple connection but not everyone has someone they can relax and feel vulnerable with.

  • Reiki is shown to relieve stress and this alone can lead to us feeling restored and more balanced. We can feel as though we have take a step back and this can help us find a fresh perspective on life events.

  • As a person that has lived with depression at various levels for the past 40 years, I found that both giving and receiving Reiki helps strengthen my connection with the divine. This alone make me “Feel” and gives me a feeling of hopefulness.

    In conclusion I can only offer my personal experience and that of documented cases but Reiki may be for you if you would like to know more please check out other articles on this site.

Is Reiki a scam.

Like many people there was a time when I thought is Reiki a scam.

Reiki was a word I had heard many times and had thought nothing much about, it was all part of some “new age” stuff which at the time was not a good fit with where I was in life.

Yes I was tired all the time, distracted and full of aches and pains but I was “alright”. I knew I was because I kept telling myself “your alright…you’re doing fine”.

I wasn’t though..I was far from alright, I was feeling more and more anxious and disturbed and rarely managed to sleep more than a couple of hours without waking up.

Eventually my Sister asked me if I would like her to perform a Reiki treatment on me.
Of course I didn’t want her to perform anything on me…it all sounded weird and NOT for me, but I was

in need of something and it was easier to say “ok” than it was to put up a polite but convincing argument.

So that was that my fate was sealed the following evening I was to go to her home for tea and get my Reiki treatment, I didn’t know what to expect and when I arrived, everything was “normal” just like it was any other day.

We had our tea and She asked if I was ready , I took a deep breath and said “Yeah” then followed her into her spare bedroom.

The only thing different to this room that I had stayed in many times was the addition of a foldaway massage table. I was instructed to lie down and relax, as I did she put some gentle music on and I closed my eyes.
Slowly I started to relax and mentioned that I had a pain in my neck which had been giving me a lot of pain over the past 8 or 9 months and had been diagnosed as Spondyliti.

She said “ok” and carried on as I lay there with my eyes closed I noticed some beautiful colours appear behind my eyes and there was a lovely warm relaxing feeling came over me.
Although it was very nice it was not what I was expecting and it certainly didn’t feel like anything had happened. After some time about 30 minutes or so my sister said all done…how do you feel? I feel good I replied relaxed, quite content and at peace.

We went back to the kitchen to have a cup of tea and I then realized my neck…it isn’t hurting. I thought it could be just that I’m relaxed and tomorrow it will be back to normal, but it hasn’t come back unless I am doing something very physical which puts a lot of pressure on my neck and that was 11 years ago and counting.

So for me Reiki is a very real form of energy healing, its name is Japanese made up of two words,Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”, So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy”.
There are many words for the energy we work with… Ki, Chi or Qi, Prana and Melam Holy Spirit to name but a few.
They are sometimes referred to in the West as vibes and we all feel like this is something we can understand.

The objective of Reiki is for the practitioner to channel the energy through the person or animal that is in need of treatment, this helps in clearing any blockages either emotional, physical or spiritual thus allowing the body to return to it’s natural state of balance.

Reiki is no longer confined to the “new age movement” it is firmly established in main stream culture and none more high profile than the N.H.S.
In many hospitals Reiki is now being recognized as having genuine benefits to patients suffering with stress and mood disorders and many long term heath issues.
