A Gentle Path Through the Change.

A Note From Me Before We Begin

I’ll be upfront about something straight away: I’m a man. That might raise an eyebrow when you see the subject matter of this article, and that’s entirely fair. What I can tell you is that everything I’m about to share has come directly from the women I’ve had the privilege of treating over the years. Session after session, conversation after conversation, a picture has emerged, one I feel compelled to put into words, because what these women have described deserves to be heard more widely.

Reiki is not a cure.
It is not a replacement for medical care.
But what it can be, as so many of my clients have told me in their own words, is a lifeline during one of the most physically and emotionally turbulent periods in a woman’s life.
This article is my attempt to honour their experiences, and to explain with reference to the research available why Reiki may be a genuinely useful complementary therapy for women navigating the menopause.

What Is the Menopause, and Why Does It Matter?

Before diving into Reiki itself, it’s worth setting the scene.
The menopause defined as the point at which a woman has not had a menstrual period for twelve consecutive months typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 in the UK, with the average age being around 51. The perimenopause, the transitional phase that precedes it, can begin years earlier and is often where symptoms are at their most disruptive.

According to the NHS, common symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, low mood, anxiety, brain fog, joint aches, reduced libido, and vaginal dryness and the list goes on.
The British Menopause Society notes that around 75% of women experience vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes, and for many, these symptoms can last for several years (British Menopause Society, www.thebms.org.uk).

The impact on quality of life can be profound. Women describe feeling like strangers in their own bodies. The emotional toll anxiety, irritability, low self-worth can be just as debilitating as the physical symptoms.
Sleep deprivation alone can cascade into dozens of other problems.
And whilst Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) remains a highly effective and increasingly recommended treatment in the UK (NICE Guidelines NG23, www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng23), not every woman can take it, not every woman wants to, and for many it doesn’t address everything they’re experiencing.

This is where complementary therapies including Reiki can play a meaningful supporting role.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early twentieth century, developed by Mikao Usui.
The word itself translates roughly as “universal life energy.”
In a typical session, a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the client’s body, with the intention of channelling energy to promote relaxation, balance, and wellbeing.

It works by influencing the body’s energy field, reducing stress, and encouraging the parasympathetic nervous system (our “rest and digest” mode) to take over from the stress-driven sympathetic response.
It is non-invasive, deeply relaxing, and requires nothing from the client other than to lie still and breathe.

Reiki is increasingly available within complementary health settings across the UK, and is offered at a number of NHS-affiliated cancer centres and hospices as part of supportive care provision.


What My Clients Have Told Me

Over the years, I’ve worked with a great many women who have come to me specifically because of the menopause.
Some arrived as sceptics, brought along by a friend.
Others had already tried everything they could find and were simply looking for some relief.
What follows are the themes that have come up again and again.

“I finally slept.” This is probably the single most common thing I hear after a first session.
Women who have been lying awake for months either unable to fall asleep or woken repeatedly by night sweats often describe a quality of sleep after a Reiki session that they haven’t experienced in years.
It doesn’t last forever, but it’s a reminder of what rest can feel like, and something to aim for.

“I felt calm for the first time in months.” Anxiety during the perimenopause and menopause is vastly underreported.
Hormonal fluctuations affect the brain’s chemistry directly, and many women find themselves experiencing anxiety that seems to come from nowhere. Reiki’s deep relaxation response appears to offer genuine relief here even if only for a window of time, that window matters.

“My hot flushes were less frequent that week.” I want to be careful with this one, because individual experiences vary enormously.
But it has come up enough times to be worth mentioning.
Some clients have reported a reduction in the frequency or intensity of hot flushes in the days following a session.
Whether this is attributable to Reiki’s effect on the autonomic nervous system, or simply the benefit of reduced overall stress (which is known to trigger flushes), I can’t say with certainty.

“I feel like myself again just for a bit.” This, perhaps, is the most moving thing to hear.
The menopause can rob women of their sense of identity. Reiki seems to offer a reconnection with the self a quieting of the noise that many describe as deeply restorative.

What Does the Research Say?

I’m aware that anecdote, however compelling, is not evidence. So let’s look at what the science has to say and I’ll be honest about where the evidence is promising and where it remains limited.

Stress Reduction and the HPA Axis

One of the most well-evidenced effects of Reiki is its ability to reduce stress and activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
A 2010 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that Reiki was significantly more effective than placebo in reducing heart rate and blood pressure under stress conditions (Baldwin et al., 2010 https://doi.org/10.1089/acm.2009.0007).
Since chronic stress is known to worsen menopausal symptoms particularly hot flushes, anxiety, and sleep disruption this is directly relevant.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which governs our stress response, is also closely linked to oestrogen regulation.
As oestrogen levels decline during the menopause, the HPA axis becomes more reactive, making women more sensitive to stressors.
Any intervention that meaningfully reduces the stress response may therefore have a downstream benefit on menopausal symptoms.

Sleep Quality

A 2012 systematic review in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine explored the effects of Reiki on various health outcomes and found promising results for sleep improvement, particularly in populations experiencing anxiety or chronic illness (Thrane & Cohen, 2014 https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/945231).
Whilst studies specifically focused on menopausal women are still limited in number, the mechanisms are logically consistent: Reiki reduces cortisol, promotes relaxation, and helps regulate the autonomic nervous system all of which are preconditions for good sleep.

Anxiety and Depression

A 2011 randomised controlled trial published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine examined the effects of Reiki on psychological symptoms in community-dwelling older adults. Participants receiving Reiki showed significant improvements in depression, anxiety, pain, and overall wellbeing compared to control groups (Richeson et al., 2010 https://doi.org/10.1089/acm.2009.0378).
Given that mood disorders are among the most common and most debilitating aspects of the menopause, this is encouraging.

The Menopause Charity (www.themenopausecharity.org) highlights that many women experiencing depression and anxiety during the menopause are initially misdiagnosed, as practitioners may not connect psychological symptoms to hormonal change.
Complementary therapies that specifically target anxiety and mood without pharmacological side effects therefore have an important role to play, particularly as an adjunct to other treatment.

Hot Flushes and Vasomotor Symptoms

This is where the research is thinnest, and I want to be transparent about that. There are few high-quality studies examining Reiki’s direct effect on vasomotor symptoms specifically.
However, there is a body of research on mind-body interventions more broadly, and the picture is modestly positive.

A 2019 Cochrane review on non-hormonal interventions for hot flushes found that relaxation-based therapies showed some benefit, though effect sizes were modest (Sassarini, 2019). Reiki, as a deeply relaxation-focused therapy, may reasonably be included within this category, though more targeted research is needed.

What we do know is that stress is a significant trigger for hot flushes, and that reducing stress through any means tends to reduce their frequency and severity. If Reiki reliably reduces stress and the evidence suggests it does it follows that it may help with hot flushes indirectly.

Cancer-Related Menopause

A significant and often overlooked group of women experiencing menopausal symptoms are those who have undergone cancer treatment particularly breast cancer, where hormonal therapies such as tamoxifen can induce or worsen menopausal symptoms and where HRT may be contraindicated. For these women, complementary therapies are not just a preference; they may be the only option.

Reiki is widely used within oncology supportive care settings in the UK. A study published in Oncology Nursing Forum found that Reiki significantly reduced pain, anxiety, and fatigue in cancer patients (Tsang et al., 2007 https://doi.org/10.1188/07.ONF.E36-E44). Macmillan Cancer Support (www.macmillan.org.uk) includes complementary therapies including Reiki among the support options it signposts for people living with cancer.

The Importance of the Therapeutic Relationship

Something that doesn’t always make it into research papers is the value of the therapeutic relationship itself and I say this as someone who has experienced it from the practitioner’s side.

Many menopausal women feel unseen.
They feel dismissed by healthcare systems, embarrassed by their symptoms, and isolated in their experience. Coming for a Reiki session offers them an hour of being completely cared for, with no agenda, no judgement, and no clock-watching. The space is theirs entirely.

That experience of being heard of having their symptoms taken seriously and met with compassion is itself therapeutic.
It doesn’t show up in clinical trials, but it matters. My clients have told me so, repeatedly.

Integrating Reiki With Conventional Care

It cannot be emphasised enough that Reiki is a complementary therapy meaning it works alongside conventional medicine, not instead of it. If you are experiencing menopausal symptoms, please speak to your GP.
The conversation around HRT has shifted significantly in recent years; the risks were overstated following a flawed study in the early 2000s, and current guidance from bodies like the British Menopause Society and NICE supports HRT as a safe and effective option for most women.

Reiki can sit comfortably alongside HRT, alongside CBT (which has good evidence for hot flushes see the menopause specialist CBT resources at www.ieso.co.uk), alongside lifestyle changes, and alongside any other approach you and your GP agree upon.

What it offers is something that most clinical interventions don’t: time, stillness, and a gentle invitation for the body to remember how to relax.

Practical Considerations for UK Readers

If you’re interested in trying Reiki, here’s some practical guidance:

Finding a practitioner: Look for someone you feel you can connect with, regardless of how well qualified a practitioner is or what bodies they are a member of, if you don’t feel comfortable with them then the results achieved may be compromised.

What to expect: A typical session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
You remain fully clothed and lie on a treatment table.
The practitioner works gently, often in silence or with soft background music. Most people feel deeply relaxed, and some fall asleep entirely.

Cost: Sessions typically range from £40 to £80 in the UK, depending on location and the practitioner’s experience.
Some practitioners offer discounted rates or packages for ongoing treatment.

How many sessions? This varies enormously.
Some women notice a significant difference after one session; others find that a regular commitment say, monthly or fortnightly provides the most sustained benefit.
I generally suggest giving it three sessions before drawing conclusions.

A Final Word

I started offering Reiki to menopausal women not because I had read a paper about it, but because someone close to me asked me to.
Then they came because a friend had mentioned it, or because they were exhausted and willing to try anything, or because they simply needed somewhere quiet to fall apart safely.

What I’ve witnessed over the years has been remarkable, not miraculous, not magic, but real and meaningful.
Women leaving sessions standing a little taller.
Women sleeping through the night for the first time in months.
Women feeling, briefly, like themselves again.

That’s not nothing. In fact, for many of them, it’s been everything.

If you are navigating the menopause and looking for ways to support yourself through it, I hope this article has been useful.
Please reach out to a qualified practitioner, keep talking to your GP, and know that you do not have to endure this alone.

In a world increasingly captivated by holistic healing practices, Reiki stands out as a beacon of tranquility and rejuvenation.
Yet, amidst its serene aura, confusion often arises regarding its essence and methodology.
At the heart of this lies a fundamental distinction: Reiki, the universal energy, and Reiki, the method of delivery.
This article embarks on a journey to unravel this distinction, shedding light on the profound benefits of embracing both aspects of Reiki, while intertwining the significance of a plant-based diet in this holistic tapestry.

Understanding Reiki: The Universal Energy

At its core, Reiki embodies the essence of universal energy – an omnipresent force that flows through all living things and the cosmos itself.
Originating from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy), Reiki represents the harmonious balance and vitality inherent in the universe.

  1. Intrinsic Healing: The universal energy of Reiki operates beyond the confines of time and space and permeates every aspect of existence. Practitioners tap into this boundless reservoir of energy to facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
  2. Balancing Energy Centers: Reiki practitioners believe that the human body comprises subtle energy centers, known as chakras, which regulate various aspects of our being.
    Through gentle touch or distance healing, Reiki helps realign these energy centers, promoting holistic well-being.
  3. Promoting Relaxation and Stress Reduction: By channeling universal energy, Reiki induces a state of deep relaxation, allowing the body to release tension and stress.
    This profound relaxation     creates a more conducive environment for self-healing and inner peace.

Reiki as a Method of Delivery:

While Reiki encompasses the universal energy itself, it also encompasses specific techniques and methodologies through which practitioners access and channel this energy to recipients.

Learn how YOU could use Reiki to help heal yourself.

  1. Hands-On Healing: The traditional method of Reiki delivery involves gentle laying of hands on or slightly above the recipient’s body.
    Through this tactile connection, practitioners serve as conduits for channeling the universal energy to the recipient, promoting healing and balance.
  2. Distance Healing: In contrast to hands-on healing, distance healing transcends physical proximity, allowing Reiki practitioners to send healing energy across vast distances.
    This technique underscores the interconnectedness of all beings and the limitless nature of universal energy.
  3. Symbols and Attunements: Reiki practitioners undergo an attunement processes, during which they receive sacred symbols that amplify their ability to channel and direct Reiki energy.
    These symbols serve as keys to unlock deeper layers of healing and spiritual growth.

Integrating a Plant-Based Diet with Reiki:

The synergistic relationship between Reiki and a plant-based diet lies in their shared commitment to nurturing vitality and harmony, both within the individual and the broader ecosystem.

  1. Purification and Alignment: Just as Reiki seeks to cleanse and balance the body’s energy centers, a plant-based diet promotes detoxification and alignment within the physical body.
    By consuming plant-derived foods rich in nutrients and antioxidants, individuals support their body’s innate capacity for self-renewal and healing.
  2. Compassionate Connection: Embracing a plant-based lifestyle aligns with Reiki’s principle of compassion and interconnectedness.
    By choosing plant-based foods, individuals cultivate empathy towards all living beings, hono    uring the sanctity of life and fostering a deeper sense of harmony with the natural world.
  3. Elevating Consciousness: Both Reiki and a plant-based diet offer pathways to heightened consciousness and spiritual evolution.
    As individuals purify their bodies and minds through Reiki and plant-based nutrition, they open themselves to higher vibrations of energy and awareness, transcending limitations and embracing their true essence.

Conclusion:

In the realm of holistic healing, Reiki emerges as a luminous thread, weaving together the universal energy that permeates all existence and the transformative methodology through which it is channeled.
By understanding the essence and delivery of Reiki, individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, embracing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
When complemented by a plant-based diet, this journey takes on deeper dimensions of vitality, compassion, and harmony, enriching not only individual well-being but the collective consciousness of humanity and the planet we call home.

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.

A Reiki box, also known as a healing box or manifestation box, is a tool used in Reiki practice to send healing energy, intentions, or manifestations to yourself or others. Creating a Reiki box is a simple and personal process. Here’s how you can make one:

Materials needed:

A small box: Choose a box that resonates with you. It can be made of wood, metal, or any material you prefer. Ensure it is big enough to hold small items like paper or crystals.

Decorative materials (optional): If you wish, you can decorate the box with symbols, crystals, colors, or any other items that have significance to you. This helps personalize the box and make it energetically aligned with your intentions.

Paper and pen: You’ll need small pieces of paper or sticky notes and a pen or marker to write down your intentions, wishes, or healing requests.

Optional items: You can include other items that hold significance for you, such as healing crystals, small objects, or photographs. These items can add extra energy and intention to your Reiki box.

Steps to create a Reiki box:

Cleanse the box: Start by energetically cleansing the box to remove any previous energy or vibrations. You can use methods like smudging with sage, palo santo, or any other cleansing technique that resonates with you.

Set your intention: Take a moment to focus on your intention for the Reiki box. It could be healing for yourself, others, specific situations, or manifesting certain desires. Clarify your intention and hold it clearly in your mind.

Write down your intentions: Take the small pieces of paper or sticky notes and write down your intentions, wishes, or healing requests. Be clear and specific about what you want to manifest or heal. Use affirmative language as if it has already been accomplished.

Place the intentions in the box: Fold or roll up the pieces of paper with your intentions and place them gently inside the box. If you have other items like crystals or small objects, you can place them in the box as well.

Close the box: Once you have placed all the items in the box, gently close the lid. Visualize or say a prayer, affirming that your intentions have been received and are being manifested or healed through the power of Reiki.

Optional: Decorate the box: If you wish, decorate the box with symbols, crystals, or colors that resonate with your intentions. This step is optional but can add a personal touch and enhance the energetic connection to your intentions.

Revisit and update: You can open the Reiki box from time to time to revisit your intentions, add new ones, or remove the ones that have been manifested or no longer serve you. Feel free to update the contents of the box as needed.

Remember, the Reiki box is a tool that supports your intentions and acts as a focal point for the healing energy. It’s your intentions and connection to Reiki that bring about the desired results. Use it with trust and an open heart, and let the universal life force energy guide you.

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century.
It is based on the principle that energy flows through the body, and by channeling this energy through the hands, a Reiki practitioner can promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

One of the most effective uses of Reiki is in helping with emotional healing. Emotional pain can be just as debilitating as physical pain, and Reiki can be a powerful tool in helping individuals to move through difficult emotions and find balance and healing.

Reiki works by helping to re balance the energy within the body.
Emotions can be thought of as energy, and when we experience intense emotions, it can disrupt the natural flow of energy within the body.
This disruption can cause physical symptoms such as tension, headaches, and even illness.

By channeling Reiki energy into the body, a Reiki practitioner can help to clear any blockages in the energy flow and restore balance.
This can help to release emotional pain and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.

One of the most significant benefits of Reiki is that it is a non-invasive and gentle practice.
There is no need for needles, medications, or invasive procedures. Instead, the practitioner simply places their hands on or near the individual’s body, and the Reiki energy flows through them.

Reiki can also be used in conjunction with other forms of therapy to enhance their effectiveness.
It can be especially beneficial for those undergoing psychotherapy, as it can help individuals to release emotional pain and trauma that they may not be able to express through words alone.

If you are interested in using Reiki to help with emotional healing, there are a few things to keep in mind.
For some people, it can be beneficial to find a qualified and experienced Reiki practitioner.
They will be able to guide you through the process and ensure that you receive the most benefit from the practice.
Although this is not always necessary as and individual can quite easily use Reiki to help heal themselves.
This is what the Reiki Level One process is all about.

Additionally, it is important to approach Reiki with an open mind and a willingness to receive healing.
Reiki can be a valuable tool in helping with emotional healing.
By re balancing the energy within the body, Reiki can help to release emotional pain and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
If you are interested in trying Reiki, you may want to consider our online course which will guide you through the process.

Not only will this awaken your personal empowerment we offer an exclusive Facebook group to give you ongoing support.

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.

Alternative methods of healing have existed since time immemorial. But with the help of the internet, they’re gaining recognition far from the lands of their origin. One such alternative healing method is Reiki. Many swear by Reiki, especially when it comes to relieving pain, healing injuries and building immunity. Reiki was developed in Japan, but today you will find its practitioners all over the world.

But, what is Reiki?

The Japanese term is made out of two words:

i) ‘rei’ which means universal

ii) ‘ki’ which means energy

The meaning of the term Reiki is universal energy. It is a form of healing that uses this invisible energy to bring relief to people, be it from physical pain or mental health issues. Alternatively, it is called ‘energy healing’ or ‘palm healing’.

Reiki concentrates on the flow of energy from the practitioner to the patient simply through the hands of the former!

As you’ve probably guessed, Reiki is mainly about the flow of energy which is believed to become stagnated at a single point in the body when a person goes through physical injury or emotional turmoil. So, it aims at removing these blocks to restore the flow of energy, thereby easing the discomfort.

It is believed to have been developed by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui in 1922 but due to people finding it effective, spread to other parts of the world. In fact, according to the site of the International Centre for Reiki Healing, India alone has about 10,00,000 members and the numbers keep growing!

What does a typical Reiki session look like?

In the beginning, you will be made to sit on a chair or lie down. The practitioner will then place their hands on or right above the problem area. So, let’s assume you hurt your knee but the pain won’t go away, then the hands will be placed on or above your knees. Similarly, if you’ve been experiencing stress due to your job, then the hands may be placed above or on your forehead.

The practitioner will move their hands on or over the affected area for about 4 to 5 minutes. It is believed that energy transfer takes place during this session.

Some people report feeling warm or tingly, especially over the area being treated.

Once the practitioner feels that energy exchange has taken place, they might move their hands to another region.

What to keep in mind if you’re going in for Reiki

Many people swear by Reiki when it comes to treating the harmful effects of stress and reducing pain in the body, it does bring about some relief and you should definitely give it a try to understand exactly why so many people believe in its healing powers.

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.
