Questions & Answers

Some common questions about Reiki Treatments

How to explain Reiki?

The truth is that no one really knows how or why Reiki works. It is clear that it works, but currently modern science has provided no explanation, but they are working on it! The best way for anyone to understand Reiki is to receive a treatment from a Reiki therapist. I encourage you to try this wonderful healing modality and decide for yourself.

Reiki is not a belief system. It is not necessary to belong to any religion or hold any particular religious beliefs to benefit from Reiki, everyone can benefit from Reiki.

Reiki healing treatments are hands on and non intrusive - usually the Reiki healing treatment is given with the client laying down on a treatment couch. No massage is involved and the client remains fully clothed.


How long does reiki healing treatment last?

Reiki healing treatments can last for as little as 20 minutes but generally last for about 45 - 60 minutes, though sometimes longer healing treatments are required - this depends on what is needed by each individual client.


What can a Reiki healing treatment do for me?

Reiki healing treatments can offer you a relaxing and soothing healing that calms the mind and clears away stress and other negative emotions. Reiki healing treatments provide deep and powerful healing, working on all levels. Reiki healing treatments can help with any condition, whether it is physical or emotional.


Can you treat any condition with Reiki?

Reach Out To Reiki can provide healing treatments for many people with a wide range of illnesses and problems, including: stress, depression, bereavement, back pain, spina bifida, ME, arthritis, sports injuries, broken bones, sciatica, ankylosing spondylitis, nerve damage, cancer.

A complete cure can never be guaranteed with any form of medical treatment or healing method, but Reiki healing treatments will help, whether in a physical way or an emotional way. In some cases a physical problem will be caused by an emotional trauma and once that is healed the physical pain dissipates also. Acute injuries can be helped to heal very quickly but more chronic illness takes longer.

In terminal illness, there is usually great benefit and enhancement of the quality of life giving a sense of peace and acceptance during the time remaining. Reiki can be used on people of any age.


Can you treat clients with medical conditions?

Where a client is receiving medical treatment, we will, if required, work with the client's doctors to ensure we give the best and most effective treatment possible. In all cases we will never contradict or go against a doctor's advice.

A Reiki treatment comprises a few Reiki sessions with the purpose to help the healing of a particular disorder. The effect of Reiki is cumulative and therefore most people need at least 6 sessions to see results, although some will need more.

These sessions are normally taken once a week. In special cases, it is recommended to have them twice a week .


Where do the Reiki healing treatments take place?

Leigh on Sea home visits can also be arranged if required.
