Is simply living your everyday life not how you expected it to be?

Is your body not allowing you to do what you used to do, what you might like to do, what you had hoped to be able to do? As I get older, listening to my body more closely is teaching me to take better care of myself, to be kinder in my treatment of it, leading me to make changes in my lifestyle and thinking. Could your body be trying to tell you this same thing?

Are you feeling lost or stuck? Perhaps you endure anxiety or depression that stops you from living a full life. Maybe you haven't been able to get beyond an experience of trauma or abuse. This can be a lonely place, the demons of our minds are our own, our sense of overwhelm, of aloneness, is our own. How do you find a way out of a place like that, a way back home?

Are you living with the experience of a broken heart? Maybe you've lost a dream, or someone who is close to your heart. This is something we all know and experience, it's simply part of life. The letting go, the finding new meaning in our lives, is often where we get stuck. How do you move from this stuck place ...in this crazy-making world?

Maybe you are none of the above, you feel like you are actually doing OK. Things are working ...and yet you feel like there is a vague something “out there” that is missing in your life. Activity, friends, parties, cover it up but it's there in the alone moments, a sense that there's more to life. What if you could put a finger on that missing piece that keeps you from being at peace?

If you are able to answer "yes, that fits for me" to any of the above situations ...then relax, this is what it is to be human. We all get to say yes to at least some of these things at some point in our life, and sometimes what feels like all of them at the same time. It’s OK to bend, even to fold, under life stresses. You are not broken and you don’t need “fixing”.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

You can live more fully, make peace with the painful experiences of life, find your joy and happiness. Doing things the same old ways isn’t going to work however. Deep in our hearts, we know that. The same old ways only make for more of the same old things. What is needed is a different way ...a way which brings comfort and healing and which allows us to face life anew.

One such "different way", is called “Reiki”. I have lived and practised this way for many years, have used it to navigate my own life’s ups and downs, through every single one of those very human things listed above. Reiki is not a “new thing”, it endures because it has made a real life difference for someone when it was needed. You don’t even have to take my word on that, you can know and experience this for yourself.

If you have never heard of Reiki, the practice is simple, easy enough for a child to learn and to do. Used as a daily personal practice, the lifestyle benefits of a less stressful mind space, and a more relaxed approach to life are many. It is simple and its absolutely safe. When used on others in a therapy fashion, the hands on practice of Reiki is a source of comfort and relaxation, and can be used alongside any form of conventional medical or other health treatment or procedure.

If you have heard of Reiki, and thought it was not for you, you’re not into learning some therapy “thing”- maybe you even thought it was all a bit improbable - then I would gently encourage you to take another look. People just like you, use this practice as part of their everyday life, just for themselves and their immediate family, as a self help system. The Reiki treatment industry, the “therapy face”, that is the public perception of Reiki, is not the way of this practice for most people who simply live it in their everyday life.

What to do now?

If you need more information about Reiki, to decide if this is for you, take a look at the Reiki pages ...nothing wild there I promise you!

If you are wondering if this is for you, or you simply would like an experience of how this feels, then schedule a treatment session. For treatment appointments, or any other enquiries please be in touch, details for this are on the Contact page.

If you have already decided Reiki is for you, or to help and support a loved one in a time of difficulty, then make arrangements to take a class. To check out what's involved with taking a class, go to the Classes page.

If you have already taken a class, maybe you have not been practising (very human, caught up in the busy-ness of life), and you simply feel drawn to be in a group Reiki experience again, or you may be seeking a different experience of the practice, take a look the Workshops page.
