The Usui System of Reiki is a Spiritual practice with tools and meditations supporting a person to align with their True Self. It was created in Japan in the late 19th century by Usui Mikao. This is system was put in place as a self-healing practise to develop personal perfection.

Through the practice of this system, which includes connection to life force energy, breathing practises and mantras, the student would develop the spiritual awareness and mental connections he needed to reach perfection or enlightenment. Learning the Usui System would be the start of the personal growth path and a life long journey.

Over the years as the reiki system moved and evolved in the Western society, the way reiki was taught, changed. During the 1980’s, the ‘New-Age’ movement added the Chakra system to the teachings, trainings became shorter and the system became a way of healing others and not just the self.

I teach and share the some of the Usui System of Reiki alongside the newer tools and self inquiry techniques as I feel they are important and relevant in today’s culture. I have also added my own elements to the teachings and offerings, as I feel we have moved forward in our emotional and body awareness.

THE BODY & REIKI

Our bodies are actually made up of distinct parts that form our energy body - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. One of the basic teachings of healing with Reiki is that we are more than our physical bodies. We also have an energy body made up of our aura (energy fields), the chakras (energy centers) and the meridians (energy pathways.) Like our physical body that takes in food to nourish it and give it energy, our energy body does the same. The energy fields take energy in, the chakras break it down, and the meridians distribute it throughout the body.

Our ultimate goal is to have all parts balanced, all are as important as each other and reiki works on all levels of the human body and experience at the same time.

THE EMOTIONAL BODY

The emotional body is the bridge between the physical and the mental, it is where our experience of the world is interpreted. It represents our feelings and relationship to all things.

If we are out of balance reiki helps to release suppressed emotions, and long stored emotions that can lead to stress, anxiety and depression over time. So almost all physical illnesses have an emotional aspect to them.

Reiki will help to clear these blockages, releasing long held beliefs and negative emotions, leaving you with a renewed sense of balance and inner calm.

THE PHYSICAL BODY

Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called chakras and meridians. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more organs and tissues of the physical body.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. When our physical body is balanced we feel open, flexible, pain free and healthy. 

THE MENTAL BODY

The mental body consists of our thoughts, attitudes, judgments, and prejudices, it is also how we perceive our worth and value in the world. Our mental body also includes focus, clarity, direction, and contributions to creation and society. It is a key element in thoughts becoming reality.

When someone is out of balance there is confusion, brain fog, doubt, lethargy and lack of purpose. Reiki can help to calm the mind from overthinking and overdrive, it takes the focus out of the mind and shifts awareness to our body and our inner world.  

THE SPIRITUAL BODY

Our spiritual body is a connection to all things including the earth and the universe, the divine, our higher self and beyond. It connects to all that is through all space and time. Connecting with reiki gives you a greater understanding, almost a knowing that there is something greater than yourself, that you are not alone. 

When our spiritual body is balanced we are calm, fearless and we operate without limitations. We tap into our creativity, our intuition and our higher self and we co-create with the universe. We bring our spiritual body into balance by meditating, breath work, regular reiki practise and connecting to our hearts which is the door to the universe and all that is. text goes here

SELF LOVE & REIKI

Self-love is not just a state of feeling good, it grows from our loving actions towards ourselves. It's our acceptance of self or the loving thoughts we have, it is in moving our body, the language in which we speak to ourselves and what we nourish it with. Through our growth in our self-love journey we attract people and experiences that reflect this state. 

When we don't love ourselves we look for external validation, we seek love outside ourselves: We put our self-worth in the hands of others. Decisions are made with other people's happiness in mind rather than doing what is right for us. When a person does not love themselves it not only affects their relationships but every area of their lives.  

With bringing Reiki into our life it shifts the awareness from the external to our inner world. It is opening us up to the love that is already inside. Our thought patterns change, we expand and learn and with this new growth, we no longer accept people or situations that deplete us. We respect ourselves enough to set boundaries and we grow to become the love, so that we never search for that love outside of ourselves.

Reiki & The Drum

I now use the Reiki Drum alongside my energy healing work and would love to share these techniques with you. It can help with illness, reducing stress and emotional trauma and can influence brain activity by bringing people into a meditative alpha state. Although the beats of the drum have powerful vibrations, the body is flooded with the protective and gentle, healing energy of Reiki.

The Reiki Drum is not part of the traditional Reiki system - this healing modality was created over 20 years ago by a Shaman who was also a Reiki Master.

Reiki Drum Sound Healing Treatment

This therapy works by drawing the brain waves into a more relaxed and calm state by means of listening to the beat of the drum.

Drumming can help people access and address emotional issues. Unexpressed feelings and emotions can form energy blockages in the body, so the physical stimulation of drumming removes blockages and produces emotional release.

Reiki Drum Journey

Traditionally a drum journey has its roots in Shamanism but with the Reiki drum it is a gentler way of accessing the non ordinary reality we find on the journey. Although it is just as powerful, the use of Reiki with the drumming technique makes it different by supporting us and flooding our bodies with the subtle, protective energy on this visual and sensory journey.

The Reiki Drum Journey can be used for many purposes. The journey can be taken to help shift blockages or to receive guidance on any personal issues such as illness or relationships.

Distant Reiki

Reiki is a natural healing energy that works on every level. Reiki connects to our spiritual and energetic levels - it is not limited by distance. Distance is only a physical limitation. We accept other energy frequencies that we can not see such as electricity, radios, mobile phones and wifi. The Reiki flows through the energy currents that exist naturally. Distance is not an obstacle.

We can discuss before the treatment what specific areas you would like to work on, whether you have any emotional or physical blockages that need clearing. It will help you to make the changes you need in your life and bring a sense of clarity to any decisions that you need help with.
