Reiki or energy healing, is a very popular complementary therapy used for health and wellness all around the world. It is increasingly being incorporated into modern medicine, because of one compelling reason: it works.

Usui (Shiki Ryoho) Reiki is a natural system of healing, founded in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui, whose personal search to understand healing led him to Reiki. The universal life force that flows through all living things is channelled during this therapy. There is an exchange of energy between the Reiki practitioner and the recipient, through a series of hand positions held for a few minutes in a specific order, leading to a sense of harmony and healing.

Angelic (Angel) Reiki is another form of healing that draws from the Usui and Shamballa traditions and combines these with the teachings of Kevin Core, its founder. It is a powerful healing modality, that uses a higher frequency energy linked to the Angelic Realm. Harmony and healing are achieved during therapy, with the practitioner being simply a bridge for the angelic healing energy to pass to the recipient, via three stationary hand positions.

Crystal Reiki is an amazingly simple, but powerful form of energy therapy, as it works intelligently with different frequencies to support wellness. All crystals have an innate energy of their own; and when combined with Reiki, they will collect this energy, multiply its effect and focus it. After discussing issues of concern, appropriate crystals are chosen and added to the Reiki healing, to bring everything in balance and speed the body’s natural healing ability.

Distant Reiki is similar to and at least as powerful as contact Reiki; apart from the fact that the practitioner and the recipient are not in close contact. An important element of distant Reiki is that it can be timed to work at anyone’s preferred time and within the comfort of their home. Distant Reiki is powerful enough to work unaided i.e., without the physical presence of the practitioner; all you need to do is participate.

Aura cleansing adds to overall harmony. An aura is the energy field that surrounds our body. It can act like a magnetic field of energy that picks up on emotions, health issues, psychic debris and circumstances around us. Consequently, our aura can experience stress as we exchange energies with those around us, which is exactly why we need to occasionally clean our auric field.

Chakra balancing supports wellbeing. This is a form of energy healing that focuses on helping the body channel energy efficiently into the main seven chakras or energy wheels. These chakras emit energy, which flows through the body and each one relates to a different part of our life and wellbeing. In time of stress or change the energy may stop flowing freely and cause blockages or imbalances, with specific symptoms.
