Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese discipline of energetic rebalancing developed by Master Mikao Usui at the beginning of the twentieth century. The practice is based on the use of Universal Life Energy through the laying on of hands, with the aim of encouraging relaxation, harmony and greater self-awareness. Reiki can be experienced both as a treatment and as a path of personal growth through daily practice.

No. Reiki is not a religion and does not require you to adhere to any particular belief. It is a discipline open to everyone, whatever their personal, cultural or spiritual path.

Reiki does not replace medical or psychological care and is not offered as a therapy. It is a practice of wellbeing and personal growth that can accompany you, encouraging relaxation, inner listening and harmony.

During a Reiki treatment you lie comfortably, fully clothed, while the practitioner gently places their hands in specific positions on or near the body, following the Usui Reiki Method. The session takes place in a quiet setting and encourages a state of relaxation and deep listening.

Every experience is personal and can differ from one person to another. Some people feel deep relaxation, warmth, lightness or greater calm; others simply experience a moment of pause and of listening to themselves.

The length can vary depending on the type of treatment chosen. A full treatment can last about an hour and a half, while other treatments may last longer or shorter depending on the person's needs.

There is no single number that suits everyone. Some people choose an occasional treatment as a moment of wellbeing and relaxation; others prefer to embark on a series of sessions to deepen the practice and their listening to themselves.
