Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki [which is pronounced ray-key] is a Japanese word that means "Universal Life Force Energy". It's an ancient form of healing which works to create spiritual, mental and physical harmony in the mind and body. It was re-introduced to Japan in the mid-nineteenth century by Dr Mikao Usui.
It is system of healing that is either completed by placing a hand gently on the body or hovering over parts of the body, depending on your preference. Reiki triggers instant healing power; it can be used for self-healing, healing others, animals, plants and even situations past and future.
Though Reiki isn't just for when you are ill; it can assist in you living your life to the fullest, encouraging a sense of balance, control and management throughout your days. Reiki is a holistic approach to your health and helps you to promote, prevent and manage symptoms of your general health and/or long term illnesses.
What's brilliant about Reiki is that it channels itself wherever it is needed most. By stimulating the body's natural healing ability at the deepest level, it removes physical and emotional blockages that may have been causing illness, inflammation or emotional upsets for a very long time.
Reiki practitioners are not healers; because of its attunement procedures practitioners can be considered an instrument to channel Universal Life Force Energy from the source to the you.
Sophie's Reiki Experience
Sophie has been using Reiki as a source of healing since 2018, following her training and attunement from Marilyn Heginbotham. On this page you can see Sophie's lineage of teachers, or masters as we say in Reiki.
Sophie has observed first hand how Reiki can:
- Support the body's natural ability to heal itself
- Re-establish emotional wellbeing and spiritual connection
- Revitalise the mind, body and soul
- Balance the body's energies
- Cleanse the body of toxins
- Travel to where healing is needed most
- Cultivate a positive attitude
- Promote a state of total relaxation
With over 10 years of professional experience in the NHS, Sophie is more than aware that Reiki does not replace conventional medicine. However, Sophie has clinically used Reiki as a non invasive therapy alongside OT with confidence, seeing wonderful results for her clients.
With healthcare moving away from the medical model and more in the direction of a biopsychosocial approach; Reiki is now being used in GP surgeries, hospices, cancer support groups, post operative recovery centres, drug rehabilitation programmes, prisons and in care of the elderly.
