Reiki

Jess practices USUI Reiki as a form of energy healing. It is a gentle, non-intrusive, hands on healing technique for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the person- body, mind, emotions and spirit – promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being. The treatment is performed with the intention that healing energy is directed to where the person needs it most.

Reiki Treatments
‍
Most people feel deeply relaxed during a treatment, and may even fall asleep. Reiki can lead to the release of emotions so it’s not unusual to cry or laugh, or feel emotional either during or after the treatment. Sometimes you might feel tingling, or sensations of heat or coolness where the practitioner’s hands are placed. After the treatment some people feel energised, while others may feel tranquil and sleepy.

As with all holistic therapies, the benefits of Reiki can be cumulative and you may find it helpful to have a course of treatments leading to a top up from time to time.
‍
After a treatment, take it easy and try to give yourself some time to relax. Keep hydrated with water. Try to avoid strenuous exercise, eating a heavy meal and the use of stimulants such as alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee etc. This will enable your body to make the most of the treatment and use its energy for healing.

In addition to feelings of relaxation and being uplifted, occasionally some people may experience the following after a session:
‍
• Short-term increase in symptoms
• Needing to sleep or rest
• Headache
• Feeling emotional
• Increased urination
• Temporary ‘flu’-like symptoms

These are all positive signs of the body bringing itself back into balance and if this occurs it’s recommended to allow the body to rest and keep hydrated.
