What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing practice that comes from Japan. There are different lineages and the one practiced at the clinic by Alexandra is Usui Reiki – Holy Fire III. A Japanese healer, Mikao Usui, founded it in the early 1900’s.

Usui Reiki is a universal life energy (Ki, also known as Chi, or Prana) that is channeled by the practitioner to the patient’s body via the hands, either using gentle hand placements, or hovering over the body. This helps to calm the mind, and relax the body. By working to restore the natural peaceful balance of the body, mind, and spirit Reiki helps to heal the whole person even as it helps that person to heal themselves. A Reiki treatment does not replace a medical treatment, but can be very much complementary to it, facilitating the healing process of the patient.

Usui Reiki session:

A Reiki session is booked for 90min. We first have a consultation and see if there is a particular area you want to work on – can be physical or mental or spiritual.

Then settle down for a guided meditation to anchor into the present moment. The reiki treatment follows with gentle hand placement – treatment is as efficient if the hands hover the body. After the treatment is done, we spend some time on integration – could be with breath, could be with a discussion.

Alexandra focuses on the chakras during her healing treatments, and is open to work on any other areas where the patient needs treatment.

Who can benefit from a Reiki treatment?

If you struggle with stress, are going through a difficult moment in your journey, have physical or mental ailments, you can benefit from a reiki treatment. Even if you just want to relax, reiki is a wonderful practice. The pure energy emanating from the practitioner will help remove the toxins and blockages in your energetic body, directly affecting your physical and mental bodies.

We recommend having monthly treatments for more efficient and lasting effects.
