UK Reiki Federation definition:
"The Japanese word ‘Reiki’ literally translates as universal life force energy. The Reiki system of healing was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It is a non-invasive complementary therapy that has been taught and used in the UK since the late 1900s, but Eastern medicine has for thousands of years worked with this energy, recognising its flow through all living things. Reiki supports orthodox medicine or can be used alone but is not a replacement for traditional medication or treatments."
Reiki for me
Reiki, for me, is a beautiful, gentle and non-invasive way of helping the body, mind and spirit to naturally heal. It gently, kindly and with love, helps some magical healing happen. It's not a quick fix, and it takes an element of commitment (in having a series of sessions), but it has genuinely transformed my life and enhanced my 'spiritual journey' in ways I could not have foreseen.
I feel very blessed to be able to offer Reiki to people, honoured to be part of people's healing journey and i love what Reiki has brought into my life.
Different types of Reiki:
Usui vs Holy Fire III World Peace
(and Womb Reiki and Angelic Reiki to follow!)
There are many 'types' of Reiki, but they all work with energy and offer healing to the client for their highest good. They all help get the body, mind and spirit to the best state possible for healing to occur, whether it's physical, emotional or deeper 'spiritual' healing (such as past life, ancestral or simply from the person's past)
From a practitioner's viewpoint, Usui Reiki is the lineage that is best known, and that is used by the majority of Reiki practitioners (in my experience). It is channelled through the practitioner to the person, either hands on or hands off. It can be very powerful, and energy can be moved on a deep level - some of my clients have had truly amazing healings using this technique.
Holy Fire III World Peace Reiki was given to William Rand in 2014, and is best explained as an 'upgrade'. Holy Fire comes direct from Source to the client (I'm not used as a channel for it). The best way I have found to describe it is that I am attuned to open a portal for it to come through (and yes, I'm aware that can sound a little strange!). It is a very gentle, beautiful energy and I really enjoy working with it.
Holy Fire Reiki also offers 'Experiences', whereby I guide you in a meditation to open the opportunity for healing of a specific issue/challenge to happen. There are seven different Experiences in total (descriptions can be found on the Usui/Holy Fire page)
During a Reiki session, I will call in BOTH energies, and then I am able to use my intuition to see what is needed where. The Experiences are however separate to a normal Reiki healing session.
Finally, I am currently training in Womb Reiki and will be training in Angelic Reiki 1 & 2 in July 2024, so watch this space for more offerings!
