REIKI
RELAX, DE-STRESS, UNWIND!
Stressed out from overwork and not
enough rest? Treat yourself to a session of Reiki (pronounced ray-key) – a
gentle and natural “hands on” complementary therapy developed by Mikao Usui
in Japan in the early 1900s which re-energises body and mind, and usually
leaves you feeling calm, peaceful and deeply relaxed. Benefits may also
include relief from pain, and restful sleep.
Janet Sutherland,
Master Practitioner, practices Reiki from her home in
the hills above Loch Ness, just over a mile from Evergreen. A Master
Practitioner she has a supportive, warm and nurturing approach. Enjoy:-
 |
Deep
relaxation |
|
Reduced stress & anxiety |
|
Boosted energy levels |
|
A feeling of inner calm, contentment and serenity |
|
A speeding up of the natural healing
process |
What happens during a treatment?
Reiki treatments are gentle and
relaxing. You only need to remove things like shoes, a watch, belt, glasses
or contact lenses. Receiving Reiki is a very simple process, but usually
produces quite profound effects. The session begins by lying down on a
treatment couch, fully clothed, closing your eyes and listening to gentle,
soothing music, which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. Then the
Reiki practitioner will gently rest their hands upon or just above you,
non-intrusively, in a series of positions from the crown of the head to the
feet.
Each hand position is held for a few
minutes, and during this time healing energy will flow into you, balancing
your energy system, releasing stress, soothing pain, and promoting your
body’s natural ability to heal itself. As the energy flows, you may feel
warmth, or heat, or tingling from the Practitioner's hands. It is usually a
deeply relaxing experience: some people fall asleep. Other sensations may
include seeing coloured lights or feeling as if you are floating.
Occasionally people have an emotional release of tears or laughter as
emotional turmoil is brought to the surface and dissipated. Reiki is not a
religion, and does not require any particular belief system. It does not
promise cure.
To gently close the session Janet
usually offers a short foot massage. (You do not need to remove socks or
stockings.)
How does it work?
Reiki harmonises and balances your energies at
all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. All these systems
interact and can affect one another. Reiki clears your system of energy
blockages which can arise from habitual negative thought or feeling
patterns. It is important to empower yourself by realising that positive
thoughts and feelings can have a beneficial effect on your general
well-being. Your intention to heal is of the greatest priority. Reiki is
LIGHT at many levels - sometimes a treatment may help you to understand
yourself and see the solution to any problem more clearly.
Anyone can benefit from Reiki treatments, no matter what
your age or your state of health.
