If you are considering Reiki for the first time, it is natural to wonder what actually happens during a session. Understanding the process can help you feel more comfortable and relaxed before your first experience.

A Reiki attunement is one of the most important aspects of Reiki training. It is a sacred process that connects a student to the Reiki energy so they can begin working with it themselves.

For people new to energy healing, it is natural to ask whether Reiki is safe. As Reiki works with energy rather than physical manipulation or medication, it is widely considered one of the gentlest complementary therapies available.

Reiki is widely known for promoting relaxation but the benefits of Reiki often extend far beyond simple stress relief. Many people initially seek Reiki because they are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained or physically tense. What they often discover is that Reiki supports healing on multiple levels.

The length of a Reiki session can vary depending on the practitioner and the needs of the client. While there is no single “correct” duration, most professional Reiki treatments follow a similar timeframe.

If you are preparing for your first Reiki session, you may wonder what you should wear. Fortunately, Reiki is a very relaxed and comfortable experience, so there is no need for special clothing.

Because Reiki has spiritual roots, some people wonder whether it is connected to a particular religion. This is a common question, especially for those who want to explore Reiki but are unsure whether it fits with their personal beliefs.

One of the most common questions people ask about Reiki is whether it is a special gift or something anyone can learn. Some people assume that Reiki healers must have psychic abilities or unique spiritual powers.

A Reiki healer, sometimes called a Reiki practitioner, works with energy to support physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. While many people imagine healing as something that is “done” to them, Reiki works very differently.

Today is Mother's Day in the UK and, as well as celebrating all mothers - present, past and in-kind, I feel moved to steer our attention to the ultimate mother - Mother Earth.

One of the most beautiful things about Reiki is that it keeps unfolding. Just when you think you understand this mystical modality, another doorway opens.

At the end of last year, I was exhausted! Not just “I need an early night” tired but deep, bone-level TIRED. When I sat down in meditation, the uncomfortable truth was shown to me - I run my own business, so I only had myself to blame...ooph.

The other day, I was talking to one of my Reiki students about how they were using Reiki, and they replied...“I only really think to use it when something’s wrong.” It made me smile, because I hear this so often.

From a young age I understood that everything, even our homes, absorb and hold energy and so emotional energy can linger, affecting those who inhabit or use the space.

The quality of our relationship with ourselves shapes every other connection in our lives, regardless of whether we're single or in a relationship.

Following on from my post about Reiki kotodama (spirit word) and the first Reiki symbol, today I’ll be sharing about the 2nd Reiki symbol - SEI HE KI, known as the Harmony/Emotional/Mental symbol.  

Facing conditions that frequently trigger us or make us feel less than like an unhealthy relationship or a job that doesn’t fulfil us, may result in a dutiful desire to be the better ‘spiritual’ person. We might desperately reach into our overflowing bag of spiritual tools and begin doing the work to shine light on the situation.

Have you ever wondered why some people live longer, healthier and happier lives? In certain areas of the world, known as Blue Zones, people routinely live to 100 or beyond - vibrant, active, and full of life. The question is, what are they doing differently?

In the Eastern tradition of Reiki, students are taught to practice a chant called a Kotodama for each reiki symbol they are attuned to. ‘Kotodama’ is Japanese for ‘spirit word’ or ‘soul word’. It’s a recognition that every word we speak forms a sound that contains energy which resonates at a particular frequency.

I’ve just completed the ‘Release Your Money Karma’ transition with my wonderful ladies in my Higher Goddess Ascension coaching group and I have to say, it was deep and incredibly shifting work.
