The Usui system of natural healing 

 

Just for today, I will not anger 

Just for today, I will not worry 

Just for today, I will do my work honestly 

Just for today, I will honour and respect myself and all living things 

 

Reiki is an ancient healing therapy. It was founded in Japan in the early 1900’s by Dr Mikao Usui who discovered it as a way to give and receive ‘healing energy’ without draining the energy of the practitioner. 

 

About energy healing 

 

Thoughts and emotions are stored in the human energy system. If not released, blockages can form in our energy field and ‘meridian’ energy pathways. The meridians carry the life force energy throughout our body to keep us healthy and alive. ‘Chakras’ are points in the meridian pathways where energy can enter and leave the body. If this energy system is blocked or not functioning smoothly, dis-ease can manifest around the energy blockages; affecting us spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. Energy healing works by helping to remove energy blockages and restore the natural life force energy flow, which is essential for optimal health and happiness. 

 

Treatment 

 

The treatment involves laying down fully clothed and covered with a blanket on a massage couch. It works by channelling natural healing energies through the practitioner and transferring this energy to the recipient via the practitioner’s palms, using very light or no touch and occasional light tapping. Reiki is an very relaxing, stress relieving treatment and is used to stimulate the natural healing process of the body, working on many levels and helping to restore physical and emotional well-being. 

 

Emma often uses gentle sounds to enhance the release of blocked energy pathways and to restore balance. This includes using voice and musical instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and drum.
