Reiki FAQ

Reiki is an ancient practice that emphasises the importance of personal spiritual development. Originating from Japan, this modality uses the universal life force energy to promote healing and well-being. Central to Reiki is the belief that everyone has the potential to connect with higher energy to foster spiritual growth.

I offer a number of Reiki treatments. Visit my Reiki in Liverpool page for further information and click on the book here button.

Absolutely NOT!

Reiki, crystals or any other type of energy healing does not replace a doctor or professional, health care treatment. It can be delivered alongside treatments to aid physical and psychological healing

The main benefits of a Reiki session are as follows: –

• Releases your stress, which if allowed to remain can lead to illness
• An effective way of creating a high level of well-being by balancing your mind and emotions
• Heals your body, mind, and spirit
• Develops a positive attitude
• Expands your creativity
• Enhances your personal growth
• Increases your energy
• Is extremely calming and relaxing
• Reiki can help you to relieve pain and insomnia
• Reiki can also speed up recovery from surgery or long-term illness
• Using crystals doubles the healing energy

Reiki can be likened to that feeling you got as a child when someone you loved, comforted you with their hands. They soothed away your pain and they made you feel a lot better. These are the sensations I feel when I receive Reiki, however, we are all different.

The most common reported sensations are: –

• A deep relaxation
• Feel sensations of heat
• Sensations of tingling
• Seeing colours
• Feeling emotional, which is OK as this means the harmony is being restored

A Reiki attunement is a sacred ritual that facilitates a deeper connection with universal energy. During an attunement, a Reiki Master transfers energy to the student, raising their vibration and opening their chakras. This process enables the individual to channel Reiki energy more effectively, allowing them to promote inner healing within themselves, and others.

Please visit my Reiki Attunement FAQ page for further information.

During Reiki, the life force energy flows through your body synchronising and energising your energy body. It promotes balance of mind, body, and soul.

• A consultation will take place
• You can have Reiki stood up, sat down, or on a massage bed
• You remain fully clothed at all times
• The setting will include relaxing music and lots of crystals
• Reiki will flow while you relax for a period of 30 to 60 minutes

A Reiki treatment can last days, if not weeks and regular treatments will usually take place on a monthly or fortnightly basis. It really depends on you and your requirements.

You may feel emotional during or after a Reiki treatment session, which is down to the release of toxins from the body. It’s the same as receiving a massage and you should drink plenty of water afterward and not drive straight away.

Some people and practitioners can experience what is known as a healing crisis. This is the release of toxins or pent-up emotions that have been deep-seated for years. A better terminology would be a healing cleansing as the phrase healing crisis is in my opinion, negative and worrying.

Common symptoms of a healing cleansing can be mild flu symptoms, emotional release, headache or tiredness and they don’t last more than a day or so. Please feel free to ask me questions about this so that I can put your mind at ease.

Due to the flow of healing energy, you must not be under the influence of alcohol or recreational drugs.
Other considerations will be discussed during your consultation.

No!

It’s spiritual.

I have received training and attunements from a Reiki Master to allow me to do this for you.

I’m also an approved member of the UK Reiki Federation, who have validated my Reiki lineage and I adhere to their professional standard.

As I practice Reiki every day in my own self-care routine, I have the knowledge and experience to help you. I also continue my professional development at all times as evidenced in my Reiki Journal.
