FAQ

The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikaomi 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.

The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is a very simple process. The person receiving the treatment simply lies on a massage table and relaxes or any comfortable place at home. If they are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position, the main thing is for the person receiving to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even plaster casts. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes one hour.

Reiki is referred to as 'hands on healing'  some Reiki Practitioners place their hands on the client. However here at reiki-wellness when Reiki is channeled, hands are placed near the body but not in direct contact.

Reiki can be given remotely. Distance healing, also known as remote healing, is an energetic healing process that can be best explained through the principles of Quantum physics. It has been proven to be extremely effective, sometimes even more effective than local, hands-on healing.

Quantum physics shows us that everything is made up of energy, and everything is connected. Everything is part of the same, continuous whole. Distance healing is “wireless” healing. We accept that Mobile phones, televisions and even our tablets work in this wireless way.  All energy travels that way, including the energy of healing. 

In a distant Reiki session, the practitioner connects with the person or animal requesting the healing energetically. Every living being has a unique frequency, and the practitioner tunes into that unique energy. We are all part of the same unified field of consciousness, and it’s simply a question of “connecting ” to the correct frequency. Once the connection is made, the practitioner sends the healing energy to the recipient.
