So how can Reiki help?
"Reiki" (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, a term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal. This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication. It is a tradition that is open to any belief system and benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of wellbeing.
The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body using their intuition and training as a guide. There is no massage or manipulation. Reiki can be used on the person as a whole, or on specific parts of the body. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance.
Reiki is taught by Reiki Master/Teachers, who have trained in the tradition passed on, in person, from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation/attunement to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a personal and emotional perspective, but also as an aid to individual development and spiritual growth.
The main reasons people come to me for Reiki treatments is the following:
Stress and Anxiety
Pain Management & recovery from operations
Emotional Healing
Help with Sleep & Insomnia
Spiritual Growth and Connection
Support During Medical Treatments
Clearing Energy Blockages
Increasing Vitality and Energy
Personal Growth and Self-Discovery
Better Mental Clarity and Focus
Healing After Trauma
General Well-being and Relaxation
Detoxification and Cleansing
Support During Life Transitions
Curiosity or Seeking New Experiences

How can Reiki help?
There are many scientific studies and Reiki specific ones reporting on Reiki's effectiveness; with many sharing a variety of benefits from Reiki treatments. Here's how Reiki can potentially help:
1. Stress Reduction and Relaxation
This is one of the most common benefits people experience from a Reiki treatment. Deep relaxation due to the fact that Reiki helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the "rest and digest" state. Therefore, leading to reduced anxiety, stress and tension; allowing the body and mind to relax and recharge.
2. Emotional Healing
Often people ask to feel “balanced” due to feeling “out of sorts”. Reiki helps emotional imbalances and blockages through channelling Reiki energy. Reiki practitioners can support with releasing pent-up emotions such as anger, fear, frustration, sadness or trauma. Helping people feel “lighter” and “more balanced” after just one session.
3. Pain Relief
Reiki can be used as a complementary therapy for pain management. Of course it doesn’t replace medical treatments, but can help alleviate physical discomfort through enhancing relaxation, reducing inflammation and so encouraging the body’s natural healing process. Often people share with me how it’s helped with chronic conditions along with headaches and muscle pain.
4. Support for Healing and Recovery
Used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments; Reiki can enhance recovery as it support our body’s natural healing abilities. This then speeds up the recovery process, providing emotional and mental support also during times of illness or after surgery.
5. Improved Sleep
Through its calming abilities, Reiki can help people suffering from insomnia or disturbed sleep patterns. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety; promoting better sleep quality and therefore more restful and restorative nights.
6. Mental Clarity and Focus
Many people share they experience improved mental clarity, focus and a greater sense of peace after Reiki sessions. Reiki can help clear mental blockages and make it easier to focus, think clearly and so make decisions through a sense of calm.
7. Spiritual Growth
Reiki can be found to be supportive as a spiritual tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth; helping to deepen connections to self, higher self, or the Universe. It can help in meditation, with spiritual clarity and a greater sense of connection with the Universe.
8. Balance and Harmony
As Reiki works with the Energy Centres (chakras) of the body it helps restore balance and harmony / alignment. I see daily how when energy flow is blocked or disrupted that this leads to physical or emotional issues / dis-ease. Reiki supports with opening and balancing these energy channels in the body and so a greater sense of well-being and balance.
9. Boost the Immune System
Reiki can support the immune system by encouraging relaxation and reducing stress. Since stress can impact the immune system negatively, promoting a balanced and relaxed state through Reiki could potentially aid the body's ability to combat illness and disease.
10. Complementary to Other Treatments
Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medical, rather used alongside other medical, therapeutic, or wellness practices. It doesn't interfere with medical treatments and can enhance their effects. Many people find that it helps them manage side effects from treatments like chemotherapy or enhances the overall feeling of well-being during conventional treatments.
11. Increased Energy and Vitality
Reiki is said to enhance the flow of vital energy; leading to a sense of well-being. Many share they feel energised, revitalised and clear-headed after a session.
12. Healing After Trauma
Reiki can be a supportive for individuals recovering from trauma, whether physical, emotional or psychological. Many try Reiki to help process and heal from past experiences, releasing stored trauma and therefore finding emotional balance.
13. General Well-being and Relaxation
Even without any specific condition or issue, people have explored Reiki for general wellness and relaxation. This is because it can help with overall well-being, ease, peace and calm. Truly making it a great therapy for people seeking deep relaxation and balance.
14. Detoxification and Cleansing
People pursue Reiki for its benefits in aiding the detoxification process. Reiki can assist in the removal of emotional or energetic "toxins" that may accumulate over time; resulting in an overall feeling of lightness and balance.
15. Support During Life Transitions
Major life changes, such as moving, changing careers or experiencing major loss, can be stressful. People have found comfort, clarity and emotional support through Reiki during these challenging times.
16. Curiosity or Seeking New Experiences
Sometimes, people simply try Reiki out of curiosity, to experience something new, or to explore alternative healing practices.
Due to its holistic and non-invasive nature; Reiki is an appealing choice for those open to trying different forms of wellness treatments.
A Global Reiki Survey from Reiki Rays of nearly 1,300 Reiki users were asked to rate their levels of improvement since beginning a Reiki practice.
Results reported:
92% of Reiki users experienced more peace
85% less stress
87% less anger
86% less anxiety and worry
84% more happiness

“I really loved the Reiki experience with Victoria. I booked a session when I most needed it. She is such a good listener, gentle and calm and does the right thing for you in terms of setting the right intentions before the session. Her stones are very therapeutic and her touch is very healing. The findings she gives out later are helpful too. Thanks Victoria. I would see you again!”
In conclusion:
Although Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, it can serve as a valuable complementary therapy. Numerous individuals report experiencing reduced stress, emotional healing, and physical relief through its practice.
