Reiki is not a religion and anyone from any cultural
background can receive, learn and give Reiki
treatments.
"Rei" means universal and "ki" means life force
energy, therefore Reiki means universal life force

Reiki is a system of natural healing involving the
laying on of hands. Reiki assists us in balancing our physical energy
and emotional bodies, and inducing deep relaxation in
Swansea.
It is believed that the technique was first used by
Tibetan Buddhist monks and was rediscovered in the 1800s by Mikao Usui.
There is an energy field around every human being which
is described as the "Aura". This may be seen in colour or as a vague
light. Much of the colour and energy of the auric field is supplied by
the chakras. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning 'wheel' and denotes a
point of intersection where mind and body meet.
There are
seven major chakras. They are located at the base of the spine, at the
reproductive centre, at the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the
brow and at the crown of the head.
A reiki treatment usually takes about an hour. The
therapist will move around you working over your chakras offering reiki.
The first half of the treatment you will be asked to lie on your back
and then you will be asked to lie on your front.
You may feel
heat, tingling or slight pressure over the areas that your therapist is
working but more often than not you will probably feel nothing at all,
this does not mean that the treatment is not working. Reiki is offered
through the therapist's hands, sometimes she/he may place their hands on
you.
Following your treatment it is advisable to relax if you
are able to. This allows you to gain full benefit of the healing which
has been offered to you.
