REIKI AND HEALING

What is Reiki?
USUI REIKI RYOHO

Reiki, the word, is Japanese in origin, and is comprised of two kanji: rei, meaning “spiritual” and ki, meaning “energy”. Reiki can also refer to a system of healing and spiritual development that was established in the early 1900s by Mikao Usui, a Tendai Buddhist and renowned healer. Usui referred to his system as Usui Reiki Ryoho, meaning “Usui’s spiritual healing method” in Japanese.

In the West, the word Reiki may be used to describe spiritual energy itself, or a system which works with that energy for the purpose of enhancing well-being. Most Western variations of Reiki as a system are rooted in the teachings of Usui, though this is not the case with all methods.

The therapeutic application of Reiki, known as tenohira (hands on healing) in Japanese, has been gaining popularity in recent years as a complementary therapy. This is the aspect of Reiki that is generally the most familiar to people in Western societies, and many people find it beneficial to see a Reiki practitioner for treatments. Reiki treatments from a qualified and experienced practitioner can be an incredibly positive experience, resulting in deep relaxation and often a marked improvement in one’s overall well-being.

Reiki as a concept can be defined in many ways, and opinions among Reiki practitioners may widely vary as far as its nature is concerned. Ki can be understood as a vital force which animates all of existence, and flows through all living creatures. Many Eastern cultures are familiar with the concept of ki: it is known as chi or qi in Chinese and as prana in Sanskrit.

Reiki’s approach to the understanding of ki is a simple one. When ki is allowed to flow freely and unimpeded through one’s body, then a natural state of of well-being is experienced. The strong and unrestricted flow of ki throughout one’s body results is good health, a calm mind and high energy levels. However, due to the stress of modern living, it is easy for one’s ki to become weakened and blocked, resulting in poor health, anxiety, depression and exhaustion.

As a system, Reiki is simple, yet highly effective practice that can be easily learned by anyone. Traditionally, the practice is centred on building awareness of one’s ki and working with different methods (meditation, breathing and hands on healing) to ensure health and vitality on all levels. Different people may be drawn to Reiki for various reasons, and the practice has a positive impact on one’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

While there is a spiritual element to the system of Reiki, it is non-religious in nature, and there are no beliefs nor any dogma that practitioners must subscribe to in order to have an effective and positive practice. The teachings of Usui-sensei have their origin in Tendai Buddhism and Shinto, but are accessable to persons of any or no faith. Most practitioners find their Reiki practice very helpful in understanding their spirituality in a unique personal context, as well as being beneficial for their physical or mental / emotional health.

JIN KEI DO Jin Kei Do is the spiritual lineage and system of Reiki that emphasizes the development of compassion and wisdom within one's own life. Its profound teachings contain a depth of knowledge and understanding that is not present within other traditions of this unique healing artIt is a method of healing that is built in part on ancient techniques that have thus informed the modern day expression of Reiki Jin Kei Do. As a form of traditional Usui Reiki, Reiki Jin Kei Do has much in common with other methods of Reiki but recognizes its indebtedness to the Buddho system which was discovered by the former lineage bearer; Seiji Takamori.

ANGEL REIKI
The purpose of Angel Reiki is to bring a "lightness" to the heart and to allow the joy of the soul to shine through. Often, in Life, we get bogged down by problems, issues and disappointments. Our hearts become heavy and our minds become constricted. We start taking everything very seriously. Life becomes a problem to be solved rather than a joyful experience to be lived fully.

When we get into that space of struggle, it becomes difficult to find joy in life. Sometimes we get so caught up in problems that it leads to depression, anxiety and malaise. Even if we haven't gone into a full-blown depression, we may be feeling "the blues" or just living a life of constant low-grade stress. The solution to this problem is not to buckle down more and berate ourselves for not having our live "more together." This just leads to more frustration, low self-esteem and a feeling of "stuckness."
Angels are thought to be higher vibrational beings who exist only in spirit and do not incarnate into form as humans and animals do. Angels are here to help guide human development and uplift and protect the people they serve.

A guardian angel is a personal angel – an angelic being that is assigned to look out for the welfare of one particular human being. It is a popular notion that everyone has one guardian angel looking out for them throughout their lifetime. Actually, consider that this may not be the case. First, some people have more than one guardian angel. Sometimes this means they have a few guardian angels at a time, or sometimes their solo guardian angel changes over the span of their lifetime. Sometimes, however, a person becomes disconnected from an angelic guide due to negative energies and thoughts.

Archangels are very powerful and only called upon when things are severe. This can be for protection of yourself and family, healing relationships, major problems, loving yourself as a person and many other situations. Angel Reiki is very Spiritual and Loving so imparts a great sense of tranquillity on the recipient, falling asleep is quite common.

REIKI - KUNDALINI (Chakra Clearing Reiki)
Kundalini is a very powerful but gentle healing sysytem. Kundalini means that the chakras and other healing channels have been opened, and you have thereby gained access to the Earth's energy which is a part of the universal energy. Kundalini Reiki is often called Kundalini Fire as it blazes through the chakras burning away the old blockages and leaving you full of clean energy.

The Root chakra, which is the energy centre located near the coccyx, acts as an entrance for the Kundalini energy. Hereafter, the energy runs all the way up through the body, through the main energy channel, and out of the Crown chakra. This energy channel goes from the Root chakra to the Crown chakra on the top of the head. An open Kundalini means that over a period of time, a complete cleansing of the chakras, the body parts and the energy channels is obtained. It may take several sessions to fully complete this process, 4 - 6 is normal.

Sessions are carried out with the recipient laid on their back on a comfortable couch. The Reiki Master, (Richard Wain), works in the Aura and usually no contact is made with the person. However, in some circumstances, and only with expressed permission, he may have to use light touch to open the flow fully.

REIKI - KI MANNA, (Reiki Massage)
Ki manna touch uses both the spiritual and the physical vibrations to activate release and healing. With Ki manna touch, I work on the body in a gentle massage* and apply Reiki healing at the same time. It relaxes, de-stresses and allows the recipient to gently heal with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Ki is a type of Universal life force energy that links us to an energy that works through light, sound and vibration. Ki is an energy that does not take away a person’s own storage of energy which all humans have to help them in their own personal healing.

Manna is a type of 'solid' life force energy that links the universal energy together to help manifest the sounds, light waves and frequencies into a 'solid' energy that can be worked upon in a body. This aids and benefits both the person having the healing and the healer themselves, as they are able to sense the negative energy and understand it better, as well as heal it more efficiently. Many people drift off to sleep with this gentle healing system.

*The massage is performed on top of light clothing. If prefered it can be performed on the skin using light Almond oil. Modesty is protected at all times. Richard Wain is a skilled and very experienced professional massage therapist

CELTIC REIKI
Celtic Reiki is a variation of Usui Reiki, using vibrations of specific trees and shrubs along with other Earth energies to assist in healing and manifestation. The frequency of the plants and trees work to channel energy up through the Base Chakra, rather than down through the Crown Chakra as in the traditional form of Reiki.

Celtic Reiki is an energy therapy that combines the principles of Reiki (working with the Universal Energy of all existing things) and the particular energies of nature. The Celts believed that nature (trees in particular) were very sacred and based much of their way of living on these “standing people” and the energy they seemed to emanate. Therefore, Celtic Reiki is a therapy that uses the energy of trees and nature and combines it with universal energy to benefit a person both therapeutically and also helps him/her to manifest things in life.

The Reiki energy mimics the frequency of various trees and plants to create a healing environment - one that is condusive to manifesting desired results in one’s life. Celtic Reiki uses symbols derived from the Celtic Ogham (the ancient alphabet used by the Druids) which correspond to the trees and other nature sources used in a Celtic Reiki healing session.

This is a very powerful and natural form of healing and ideal for those that care for the Earth and its inhabitants.

What is Healing?
It is the use of natural energies to heal a person in mind, body or spirit. It is generally referred to as Intuitive or Spiritual Healing as it frequently imparts a feeling of love and being taken to a 'higher plane'. It is truly Holistic, is very relaxing and stimulate the body to begin self-healing.

The energy used is the same 'Universal Vibrational Energy' which gives us life and is utilised in Reiki, Chi Gung, Homoeopathy and other therapies. It is channelled through the healer to the recipient thus energising and treating the whole person at all levels.

Intuitive Healing is not by definition Faith Healing. Faith Healing requires the belief in a God and it is the energy from that deity causing the healing to take place. It is akin to Spiritual Healing and is Universal so cannot be linked to any one religion therefore will treat people of all or no faith with equal results.

Richard is a Natural or Intuitive Healer and openly admits he has had no formal training but has always been told he has 'special' or 'healing' hands ever since he was a child. He also tells everyone he has no idea of how he does what he does - it just happens. (Richard is a Reiki Master and Teacher of several Reiki Systems and also teaches to Master level in Energy Healing).

Richard also offers a special Healing Massage which increases the effect of the healing by attuning the person to the energies being used. Please see the massages page.

What Happens During A Consultation?
The initial consultation may take up to 75 minutes and sessions thereafter are around 50-60minutes.
The session is performed in a calming environment with the recipient lying on a comfortable couch, or sat in a chair. The therapist then places the hands over the body and the receiver draws in only the energy they require. The whole process is performed fully clothed as the energy will pass though most things quite easily, even plaster casts on broken limbs.
The frequency of visits will depend on your condition and recovery.

We have a very strong commitment to client aftercare. With this in mind, after your course of treatment, you will be offered an appointment for six weeks time for a check-up and 'tweeking' if required. The receptionist will then make an appointment for three or six months time for another precautionary check to sort out problems before they get chance to become serious again. (Rather like the six month check given by dentists).

From what we are told by our clients those that choose to have regular sessions of Reiki or Healing lead happier healthier lives compared to those who only come to see us when they need to.

If you want the ultimate Healing Experience then you need to have Experiensis Reiki ^(TM).

Richard makes no claims that he can cure any diseases or ailments - he is just a conduit for healing energies and it is the recipient who draws on these and uses them in the healing process.
