Reiki practitioners will be level 2 or reiki masters. Reiki 1 level is for people who want to use reiki on themselves and encourage their own wellbeing.
So what is it?
Reiki is a therapy where you sit or lie fully clothed while a therapist places their hands on or above your body. The therapist has the intention of you receiving the energy appropriate for your highest good. They may place their hands on different points of your body, but ultimately the reiki will work on all the areas of your body where it is needed.
Scientists have discovered the body is made up of vibrating energies and it is at this level that reiki aims to work. If you have trouble believing or understanding our bodies' vibrational energies you may want to look at websites such as Math Institute, which is one research institute investigating the hearts magnetic field.
What happens?
Every person has a different experience, depending on what is needed. During my last reiki session I felt heat and tingling where the therapists' hands were placed, at times I felt a surge of energy and afterwards I felt energised. I often feel heat or tingling but I know some people who see colours depending on how they're feeling, have felt blockages move or have burst into tears or laughter. There is no right or wrong way but you should find the session gives you just what you need at that moment - even if it's not what you were expecting!
At Therapy Centre, we are privileged to have a reiki master able to offer therapies. Louise is reiki 2 trained and our reiki master Jane offers regular reiki 2 review days for those who may have trained to level 2 but have lost their confidence.
