Contained in the Reiki days are a variety of meditation practices, energetic exercises, group discussion and table work. Emphasis is put on the practical application of Reiki and body observation and calibration techniques and ideas. This is a warm, friendly and enthusiastic group day.

What is Reiki Reiki is an eastern healing art, which involves the practitioner generating surplus vital energy through intent and breathing techniques. It is directed by the practitioners hands into areas of the patients body that are perceived as blocked or deficient in energy due to long held emotional issues or day to day stresses. This helps to restore balance and a sense of well being.
How can Reiki help you
Reiki can be used as part of a maintenance program, keeping everything optimized and in balance and is also very effective when used in unison with more conventional medicine to help with more serious illnesses such as cancer. One of my patients who is a doctor herself: Dr Anna Donald, recently made a remarkable recovery from cancer in the lungs, bones and liver she says "I think Reiki helped not only healing from cancer, but also in diminishing the chemo side effects, with the possible exception of hair"
Richard is available at the Centre for one to one treatments by appointment on thursdays.
