Frequently Asked Questions
The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century, which is activated by intention. Reiki's natural healing energy works on every level, not just the physical, and promotes the body's regenerative self healing ability. 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, T'ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore homeostasis. Note: Reiki is being used in
various settings including private practice, complementary
therapy centres, GP surgeries, hospitals, hospices, cancer
support groups, post-operative recovery, drug
rehabilitation, prisons, HIV/AIDS centres, and in the care
of the elderly. Back To
Top The energy can be used to great effect in many ways. Whether one is suffering from stress or tension, and many symptoms associated with this, or wishing to improve the quality of relationships at home or work, the beneficial effects of Reiki occur on many levels. Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions, and free us from restrictive mental attitudes. It may also provide a closer connection with inner wisdom. Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as improving the diet, having more rest, exercise or leisure time, and may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco. Reiki can allow us to respond more calmly to all events, and build on a more resourceful state of being. Reiki is gentle energy and may be used safely by all ages, including the new born, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, regardless of their state of health. Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions help to ward-off illness and fatigue. Reiki is a non-invasive
therapy that can be used without fear of any side-effects or
overdose. It may be used with confidence alongside
conventional medication or natural remedies because it acts
in a complementary way.
Back To Top Once you have signed your consent form and handed it to your practitioner take a couple of minutes to set your own mind for the willingness to heal and it will also help you to relax. Example: "I am now ready and open to receive the treatment being given to me at this exact moment in my life." A session is usually carried
out with the client lying down or sitting, in a
comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to
remove any clothing. Jacqui places her hands gently, in a
series of positions, over the body. The client's system
automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed,
using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time.
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling ,
warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki
is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect.
Treatment is enhanced if one can rest for a while afterwards
and drink plenty of water to help the body's detoxification.

However, there is nothing that a practitioner can do to you only you can heal yourself. The practitioner only acts as a channel. Using an affirmation before your treatment will remind you of your personal power. Although even one Reiki
session can make a difference, it is usually more effective
to have a course of regular treatments. This may be
weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the needs of the
individual. A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and
reviewed as necessary.
Back To Top Reiki does not take the place of conventional medicine. Always consult a GP for acute or infections condition, and problems of urgent concern. Reiki is a complementary therapy that works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare, so expanding treatment options. If a practitioner makes inappropriate comments such as suggesting that your chakras are blocked or closed this indicates a lack of professionalism on the part of the practitioner and may be extremely unempowering to you as a client. Back To Top The ability to channel Reiki cannot be learnt from a book or by instruction. To be able to receive Reiki, students go through a special initiation which 'attunes' them to the Reiki energy. Over time this connection is improved through practice, and by actually using the Reiki energy on themselves - typical known as 'self treatment'. It is considered essential to treat oneself with Reiki, and indeed many people use it exclusively for reasons of personal development, healthcare and stress-management. Back To Top
