Jikiden Reiki is a natural healing therapy originating from Japan which stimulates the body’s natural healing systems, promoting healing on all levels. Jikiden Reiki retains the original Reiki teachings and techniques from Japan, maintaining its grounding, simplicity and depth. Jikiden means “directly passed down” and is so named because it is practised in the same simple way as the original founder and his students. One of Mikao Usui’s prominent students, Dr Chujiro Hayashi, ran a Reiki centre in Tokyo and taught many students including Chiyoko Yamaguchi. Chiyoko Yamaguchi practiced Reiki for 65 years gaining a host of experience and helping many people. In later years she and her son established the Jikiden Reiki Institute in Japan to teach Reiki in Japan and the rest of the world. Treatments are perfectly safe. The practitioner places their hands on the fully clothed body, focusing energy where it is most needed. The treatment supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms and promotes relaxation. Practitioners do not diagnose any conditions. If you are worried about any symptoms, it is important that you consult your doctor. Reiki can be used alongside any conventional or complimentary treatments or therapies. Everyone’s experience of Reiki is different. Many people report a sense of wellbeing and deep relaxation. This feeling of inner calm can last long after the session is over. One treatment can last from 45 - 90 minutes. Reiki therapy is a process of healing; therefore a course of treatments is usually recommended. The first step is to try a session and see how the experience of a Reiki treatment feels. Consult with your local Jikiden Reiki practitioner who can make a recommendation based on your circumstances. Reiki can provide emotional support to help cope with life's challenges. It can create a feeling of being centred and promotes balance within the body. It offers peace and calm which can be helpful in times of stress or when going through longer term health challenges. People come to receive Reiki for a variety of reasons. It is often beneficial when relaxation is needed, to support sleep and to manage the challenges in life and work. In times of emotional stress such as grief and for those undergoing great emotional trauma, Reiki is particularly beneficial. It is also understood to assist the body’s natural healing capacity when challenges arise. For many people life is easier to manage when they receive Reiki. www.jikidenreikiuk.com
