Reiki
The history of Reiki
Reiki translates as 'universal life energy’. It is a system of energy healing originating from Japan which is now widely practiced around the world. This healing tradition was founded by the Buddhist monk Dr Mikao Usui at the turn of the nineteenth century and has evolved from his research, experience and dedication.
Life force energy
Reiki channels life force energy through the practitioner for the client’s highest good. The simplest way to explain Reiki is that it is an all-knowing form of energy and flows where it is needed. When our energy flow is uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us and we experience a sense of well-being. Uninterrupted energy flow helps to activate the natural healing processes in the body. Reiki works at bringing us into balance and is believed to reinforce the body’s natural ability to heal itself at all levels, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. The tradition is open to any belief system as it is not aligned to any religion.
Energy flow
Our bodies are energetic in nature. When a practitioner is performing Reiki the energy that flows from their hands produces a bio magnetic reading (7-10Hz – Theta and Alpha range) which is associated with physical healing.
What is Reiki and how does it work
Reiki flows through a purified channel within the body of the practitioner from the Universal Energy source. The channel has been opened in the practitioner via an attunement process. The Attunements are an ancient process for optimising the physical and etheric bodies to a higher vibratory level and open a purified channel in the body for the energy to pass through.
During a treatment
What I Offer
As a Reiki practitioner, I work directly with your seven main chakras. These energy centres influence everything from mood and mindset to physical health. Using intuitive hand placements and sacred Reiki symbols, I channel universal life force energy into each chakra, encouraging alignment, flow, and healing.
During your session, I’ll tune into the energy of each chakra, sensing where there may be blockages or imbalances. You may even experience sensations like seeing colours or feeling warmth as your energy begins to shift. Each chakra radiates a unique colour and vibration, and when balanced, they support your overall vitality and emotional clarity.
Why Reiki, Chakras & Tandens Work Together
Reiki is a healing method that channels universal energy (known as "Ki" in Japanese) to promote relaxation, release tension, and support healing.
Chakras are energy points within the body, originating from ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Though not a healing method themselves, they are essential to maintaining energetic balance.
Tandens In Japanese Reiki tradition, energy flows through three main centres called tandens located in the lower abdomen, chest, and forehead. These are similar in concept to chakras, which are described as spinning wheels or vortexes of energy.
Both tandens and chakras regulate how energy moves through the body. When they’re blocked or out of balance, we may feel unwell, anxious, or disconnected. Reiki helps restore this flow, bringing your system back into harmony. When Reiki is used to activate and balance your energy centres it helps clear stagnant energy and restore natural flow leading to improved emotional resilience, physical ease, and spiritual connection.
