Reiki ("pronounced Ray-key") means 'universal life energy'. It is a simple Japanese energy-balancing method that is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. The Usui System of Reiki Healing is a hands-on healing practice that enables the energy to be channelled through the practitioner's hands for the benefit of those being treated. Reiki is effective in enhancing your physical health as well as promoting mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Reiki was developed by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 1900s in Japan.  He created a simple self-healing, spiritual development and treatment system that anyone could use.  Eventually Reiki passed to the West and its is now practised all over the world.

Reiki promotes our bodies own healing process to help bring relief from any ailment.  Treatments are very relaxing and soothing and will provide you with comfort and ease.  Anyone can benefit from Reiki, whether you learn it or receive a course of treatments.  Benefits of Reiki - deep relaxation, reduced stress and anxiety, boosted energy levels, a feeling of inner calm and contentment, a speeding up of the natural healing process.

Reiki can also help you to - feel more positive, confident and better able to cope, deal better with stressful people and difficult situations, develop a strong sense of purpose and clear-thinking.

Karuna Reiki® - Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as “compassionate action.” When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by parjna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.

Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus your healing is quickened as well.

Karuna Reiki® opens you to work more closely with all enlightened beings. This includes those enlightened ones who are physically present as well as those in spirit.  Karuna Reiki® is a registered trademark of The International Centre for Reiki Training.
