What is Reiki?

The word Reiki is made of 2 Japanese words.
​
Rei - Higher Power Ki - Life Force Energy
​
Which translates to: 'Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy'
​
Mikao Usui is the founder of the Usui System of Natural Healing and his teachings can be traced back to Japan during the early 20th century.
​
Reiki is a safe, gentle, natural and yet powerful method of stress reduction, promoting deep relaxation feelings of peace and harmony. Reiki supports and brings healing to all the energy systems, the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
​
'Life Force Energy' or 'Chi' flows constantly through and around us. When our 'Life Force Energy' is low, illness and stress can arise.
​
The Reiki Practitioner gently places their hands on or above the recipient. Reiki energy flows through the practitioner's hands and into the recipient clearing energy blockages and rebalancing.

What is Reflexology?

We live in a society today which is moving at such a fast pace that we are experiencing high levels of stress and tension. This is impacting negatively upon our health and wellbeing. More and more people are seeking Complementary Therapies in order to bring relief from everyday stresses and strains.
​
The theory behind reflexology is that specific reflex points and areas on the feet mirror the organs, glands and structures of the body. The reflexologist gently applies pressures to the reflex areas on the feet, whereby encouraging health and balance in the corresponding organs.
​
Reflexology brings about deep relaxation and stress relief, whilst allowing the body to balance itself and healing energy to flow freely and smoothly throughout the body.
