THE REIKI EXPERIENCE
Reiki means 'Universal Life Energy'. A system of natural energy use and balance, Reiki is relaxing and soothing to body and mind. Reiki is given with the client fully clothed. The intention is to create a state of deep calm and relaxation, so the person has a body that is in an excellent state to heal and repair itself, with a mind at peace.
Although Reiki is often given with hands touching the client, it is just as effective used without direct contact, the therapist placing hands within the energy field. Some of Jen's clients have said they can even feel it through a plaster cast.
Reiki may be felt as local heat, tingling, or even coolness. Often there will be a feeling of stillness and calm, and it is quite common for people to fall asleep. A full session takes about an hour.
Suitable for all ages, from babies on, even pregnant women can benefit from this gentle treatment. Reiki can also be used to great effect on animals - as in humans, healing can occur physically or in the psyche.
Compatible with any other system of healing, whether western or alternative, Reiki can support healing and personal development at all levels. It is completely safe and non-intrusive.
