Reiki

What is Reiki?

REIKI is defined as a technique commonly called palm or hands-on-healing as a form of body therapy. Through the use of Reiki, the Reiki practitioner transfer universal energy in the form of "ki" (meaning energy, in Japanese) through the palms of her hands, which is believed, allows for and aids self healing and a state of equilibrium and peace.

Reiki is derived from two words: "Rei" refers to the mysterious energy or power that exists in the universe and "ki" (in Japanese), is a type of energy that creates the body and causes the state of health. When "ki" leaves the body, this is the end of the living organisms life.

Variety of Reiki Modalities

From traditional Usui Reiki to specialised techniques, I provide a range of modalities or a combination thereof to best suit your needs and intentions.

Reiki compliments Allopathic and Homeopathic medicine, as well as other alternative types of treatments such as chiropractic, acupuncture, hypnosis and Chinese medicine. A definite healing of the condition the person may be suffering from cannot be guaranteed, however it can assist to improve the condition if not eliminate the issue.

It is a fundamental belief of the world that every living organism whether it is human, animal or plant, radiates energy which is a life force.

The Reiki practitioner has been taught to transfer universal energy, and not use her own energy to heal another. The practitioner has been taught to protect her own energy field, which means the transfer of energy does not deplete her, prevents and protects the client from transferring any experiences which the practitioner may have as she may be dealing with difficulties in her life.

Reiki does not interfere with any religious or belief systems a person may have. Reiki is a healing technique which compliments all religions and belief systems as well as homeopathic and allopathic based medicine. It is established on Tibetan healing methods which allows a person to tap into this infinite and limitless source of energy to heal.

Why Reiki?

Why not Reiki? Of all the modalities of healing I have experienced, Reiki is the most gentle, non invasive and soothing. Like anything in this world, people have preferences and different tastes and prefer one type of healing to another. For example, some people like milk chocolate, others like white chocolate while others prefer dark chocolate. The same applies to different healing modalities. Healing has different names and ways of being applied, but the end result is the same – it assists the client to heal and increase their energy levels, feel calmer, sleep better and think clearly.

I speak English, Brazilian Portuguese, Hebrew and understand Spanish.

The benefits

How can Reiki help?

  • Balancing of the body’s energy, which assists with relaxation and self healing.
  • Cleanses toxins of the body.
  • Emotions are brought to the surface of the consciousness – this enables one to deal with and re-pattern one’s behaviour, leading to balance and relaxation.
  • Healing accelerated – including, but not limited to, after medical procedures.
  • Increase in awareness – also assisting one to be ‘ín the now’.
  • Pain relief (physical and emotional) – for almost any pain, from burns and abrasions to hurt muscles.
  • Releases energy blockages and increases energy levels.
  • All of which leads to greater Relaxation and Stress relief

Ethics

An assessment will be conducted to ascertain the client’s need for Reiki / Crystal Healing / Counselling. Assessment takes place in form of a discussion between practitioner and client and it is kept strictly private and confidential. The only time confidentiality may be dishonoured is when the practitioner / facilitator notes that the client may be a danger to him / herself or to others. The assessment is conducted to establish what would be the best service which will benefit the client.
