Reiki is a form of hands on healing and relaxation.  It uses what we call the universal energy which is the same as the energy used in yoga.  The practitioner channels the energy through their hands.

You will not be asked to remove any clothing just your shoes and glasses if you wear them.  You will be asked to lie on a treatment bed or sit in a chair if you are unable to lie down.  The treatment lasts approx. 1hr - 1hr 30mins. 

At the start of the treatment you will be asked to set your intention.  This simply means that you say in your own mind what you would like to achieve from the session.  This can be anything e.g. "Please stop the pain".

Reiki can also be sent to the client so they don't even have to be present, which works well if a client wishes to continue with treatments but are on holiday or working away.  It has also been requested for a 3rd party if they are very ill in hospital and the practitioner is unable to attend.
