A Beginner’s Guide to Reiki Healing

Reiki originates from Japan and is thought to have been practised for more than 2,500 years but was most recently rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui, in the early 20th century.

Translated Reiki means Universal life force. If we break the word into two; Rei means Universal wisdom/knowledge and Ki means life force energy.

Reiki is best described as a healing frequency of energy coming directly from source ( God/The Creator/The Universe/All that is). The healing effects of this energy can be channelled through a healer to connect with their client’s energy field. Reiki can only flow through those attuned to its unique vibrational frequency, and the attunement is passed energetically from the Reiki master to the Student, during a sacred ceremony.

What you could expect from a session

With me, at the Divine Reiki studio, you will remain fully clothed with the option of an additional lightweight blanket. At your first appointment, you will be given a complimentary Eternal Sunshine weighted eye pillow to aid relaxation. Eternal Sunshine essential oil blends and healing 432hz ambient music will also be used to complement your treatment. We use a fully immersive neckband speaker which helps to optimise the Dolby Atmos sound healing experience.

For returning clients, the aromatherapy (essential oil blends) may vary over the course of your treatments, depending on your requirements

We will begin with a meditation to help aid in relaxation. 

The healing session will last for 45 mins and conclude with a short grounding meditation when you are back in the chair. 

How will I feel during my treatment?

The experience is unique to the individual. However, most patients recount feelings of deep relaxation and inner peace. Some people report seeing lots of different colours and experiencing tingling sensations or eye fluttering. Some patients have told me that the pain from a physical condition felt like it was melting away as I moved around the body.

You may not feel anything out of the ordinary, which is also okay; the energy is still flowing.

How will I feel after my treatment?

The cleansing process following a Reiki healing treatment can affect people in different ways. Most will come away feeling deeply relaxed with a lighter, more optimistic outlook. However, it is not uncommon to experience mild headaches, and you may also notice repressed emotions beginning to resurface. This is all perfectly normal, and is in fact a good thing, as it points to the release of toxins from all levels of your physical and metaphysical being.

I hope you found this guide useful. And remember… Should you have any questions; just ask.
