Reiki means ‘universal life force energy’.  The practise of Reiki is an ancient method of healing founded at the beginning of the 20^th century by a Japanese doctor Dr Mikao Usui.

It has long been accepted that every living thing has it’s own energy life force.  Quantum physics suggests that the actual make up of the universe is a form of energy and that all living things are part of this energy force.  Hence, it can be said that if we are part of that force, then, that force is also part of us.

In our best state this vital energy flows through our bodies and we enjoy good health and harmony within ourselves.  However, during times of stress and or tension this flow is interrupted and we experience discomfort, distress and pain.

The Reiki practitioner uses their hands to guide this energy, channelled through their own body, to balance and harmonise the energy with the client, thus assisting the clients body in harmonising and healing itself.
