Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It is gentle and non- invasive. Reiki aims to promote balance, align the chakras and promote wellbeing by clearing and balancing the body energy. It can be used to address a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental issues along side other forms of medical treatments.
Reiki is hands-on-healing. Energy is channeled through the practitioners hands into the recipients body. Hands are placed on or near the body, depending on the individuals preference.
Reiki energy healing and how it works:
1. Energy - In Reiki energy is considered to be the life force that flows though all living things. Energy can become blocked or depleted which leads to physical, emotional or mental imbalances.
2. Chakra Balancing - Chakras are energy centres in the body that are associated with different organs and systems. There are seven main ones that run from your head to the base of your spine. In Reiki, we focus on balancing and clearing chakras to promote healing and wellbeing.
3. Relaxation & Mindfulness - Reiki sessions are often very relaxing and calming. Individuals may experience a sense of peace, relaxation, get inspiration, see vibrant colours or even fall asleep during the session.

What to expect after a Reiki rebalancing and how does it feel?
After a session it is common to feel balanced, relaxed, improved mood, increased energy or sleepy, improved sleep and general calm. Your body has now been reminded of its natural state. During a session some people may feel a lot or sense nothing, or warmth, tingling, or a gentle vibration in their body. They may have an emotional release resulting in body movements, jolting, twitching, exhaling or crying. The experience is different for everyone depending on their openness and sensitivity to energy, combined with their willingness to receive the energy. After the session any sensations or experiences that you have during the session can be discussed with the practitioner, helping the awareness and release process.
How often should you get Reiki?
The Frequency of your sessions can vary based on the individual needs or localised area they want to focus on. Some people may need weekly sessions, others occasional sessions. Some factors to consider include time and budget constraints, preventative care to support overall health and wellbeing, levels and frequency of stress you are experiencing, health conditions and pain management requirements. Tailored treatments in consultations will be discussed.
What Religion is Reiki?
Reiki is not based on any religion. It is a spiritual practice that originated in Japan from Master Mikao Usui in the Early 20th century. It is based on the belief that there is universal life force energy that flows through all living things and can be channeled to promote healing and balance in the body, mind and spirit. Reiki practitioners channel this energy to promote health, balance and wellbeing. Practitioners may incorporate elements of spirituality or meditation and visualisations from various traditions depending on their own belief systems, just as you have your own belief and self care practices.
The sound therapy frequency of Reiki or Love and Miracle Healing is 528Hz. Sound wave therapy reduces anxiety related behaviours and increases concentration. It can be played during a session to enhance the experience.

Reiki Energy Healing Options Available
In-Person Energy Healing : Is performed outdoors in a nature setting for maximum benefit. (Alternative indoor Reiki can be arranged at notice in Sutherland at Resonant Soul). During a session you lie down on the Earth on a mat while hands-on or hand-off placements on various parts of your body will transfer the healing energy.
Distance Healing : During a Distance healing treatment, we agree on a time when you can sit comfortably, close your eyes, take a drink of water and prepare for the session. We can perform it over google chat or zoom LIVE. Or I can call you after the session for healing discussions and insights.
Reiki should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment, but as a complementary therapy practice to support overall health and wellbeing.
