Reiki is not religious, and it does not entail any conversion or adoption of spiritual beliefs or practice from any religion or set of beliefs. Science is reluctant to accept the validity of energy work, but double-blind studies have often shown significant improvement from energy treatments.

What does Reiki do?

Reiki can alleviate suffering on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. It helps the person to heal themselves. It does not guarantee that a person will be relieved of all ailments with single or multiple reiki treatments. It can also enhance the effects of medical treatments when used in conjunction with it. The overall principle is that reiki can do no harm and cannot be used for any harmful purpose.

​

Illness happens when the mind, body & spirit are not balanced. True wellness is reached only by returning the entire being to balance & harmony with itself. We begin healing by finding our desire to be well and whole. Without motivation and intention to be well we cannot become well. Reiki can empower us to become whole in all ways.

Reiki does not offer an instant or miraculous cure of any condition. It works with the person to restore balance and repair blockages and tears in the energy field. This can therefore take time, but people will feel the benefit straight away and many greatly benefit from a single treatment. It is advisable to get commitment from clients for a course of 3 sessions to help to restore balance & harmony. Conditions that have taken years to develop are likely to require consistent treatment over a period of time. Any amount of reiki is good but for most people the greatest effects comes from frequent treatments.
