The word Reiki means universal energy and it is pronounced Ray-Key. Reiki is an ancient Japanese laying on of hands healing system which is gentle yet effective, its aims to clear, balance, strengthen and heal the natural energy pathways to allow the body to heal more efficiently. It produces a feeling of profound peace, calm and relaxation. Reiki is a safe and non-invasive therapy that not only relieves conditions such as stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia but many more. Reiki helps reduce or eliminate pain and accelerates the healing of physical injuries. It works on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level to heal holistically that is, the whole person, not just the symptoms. Reiki has no restriction regarding whom or what can be treated, but it is by no means a cure all, however, it is beneficial for balancing and personal growth. The treatment takes the form of the therapist gently laying hands on the person and clearing the energy blockages that have occurred in the body following disease, trauma or grief etc. It works like this the Reiki practitioner allows energy to pass through them to the person needing help, all that is needed is, a willingness of the person seeking treatment to receive the energy. The Reiki energy works by clearing and opening the chakras of the body.
Reflexology is an ancient holistic therapy in which pressure is applied using fingers or thumbs to the foot (sometimes hand) to treat a wide range of aliments and to promote psychological well-being and optimum health. There are reflex points on the foot which reflect all parts of the body, both externally and internally, and by using specialised massage techniques to these points, reflexology treats corresponding areas of the body to release blocked energy (Qi) correcting balance throughout the body. Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. The pressure massage stimulates the reflex points bringing about a balance of the eight bodily systems in order for the body to work together in harmony and unison to create a feeling of well-being and optimum health.
