“I’m 21 weeks pregnant and had a reiki healing session with Laura. I’ve never had reiki before so wasn’t sure what to expect but Laura immediately put me at ease! She explained what she’d be doing and gave me several options for how I could be most comfortable. Laura has such a calm healing energy around her, and I felt it as soon as I walked in the room. After the reiki I felt so light and relaxed, and although haven’t slept so well during my pregnancy, the following nights of sleep were some of my best. I had also just finished moving house when I had my session, so it was an amazing stress relief to reset me. I would recommend Laura to anyone, pregnant or not – but it was definitely something everyone should get to experience!” Katherine solihull
The Principles of Reiki:
- Universal Life Force Energy: Reiki practitioners believe that there is a universal life force energy that flows through all living things. This energy is said to nourish and support the body’s natural healing abilities.
- Energy Channels: Reiki practitioners are trained to access and channel this energy through their hands. By placing their hands on or near the recipient’s body, they aim to facilitate the flow of energy and promote healing.
- Balancing Energy: The goal of Reiki is to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. It is believed that imbalances or blockages in the energy flow can lead to physical or emotional ailments, and Reiki aims to address these imbalances.
The Reiki Session:
- Relaxation and Comfort: Reiki sessions typically take place in a quiet and peaceful environment. The recipient remains fully clothed and lies down or sits comfortably.
- Hands-On or Hands-Off: The Reiki practitioner may place their hands gently on or slightly above specific areas of the recipient’s body. The hands-on approach allows for direct energy transfer, while the hands-off approach is used for those who prefer not to be touched.
- Sensations and Experiences: During a Reiki session, recipients may experience various sensations, such as warmth, tingling or a sense of deep relaxation. Some may also have emotional releases or feel a sense of calm and clarity.
- Individualised Experience: Each 1 hr Reiki session is unique to the individual receiving it. The practitioner may focus on specific areas of concern or work on balancing the overall energy flow in the body.
