Reiki in Bedford

Reiki is a natural healing energy activated by intention. The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century.

The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being; known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. Acupuncture, Tai Chi and Yoga are also based on the free flow of this energy in a person.

Reiki is non-diagnostic, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied. It is gentle and safe and may be used alongside orthodox healthcare treatment.

What happens during a session?

A session is usually carried out with the person lying or sitting in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing.

The practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body. The recipient automatically draws in only as much energy as is needed, using it in what ever way is most appropriate at the time.

Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, a combination of all these or nothing at all.

Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect. It is good idea to rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water over the next few days.

Reiki treatments can be carried out as often as you feel necessary.
