Reiki Natural Healing

Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy” and it is used to describe a system of natural healing.  We live in a world of energy that nourishes and maintains all living things.  When this energy flows uninterrupted there is balance and harmony within and around us and we experience a sense of well being.

​

As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing pain and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Sophia Russell MFHT is an attuning master of the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of natural healing offering hands on treatment, distance healing, teaching and attunement.  Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive treatment and there is no need to remove any clothing.

​

What happens during a treatment?
I will give a short explanation of what the treatment involves and ask you for some details, including a brief medical history. You will be asked to lie down (or sit if this is easier for you) but will not be asked to remove any clothing except for things which could restrict your breathing or comfort, such as shoes or spectacles. Reiki will go through clothing, blankets, or even a plaster cast if necessary!

Treatment is given by the practitioner placing their hands gently on your body in a pre-determined sequence of hand positions, spending several minutes holding each position. These hand positions are non-intrusive and cover both the front and back of the body and are sometimes varied to give Reiki to areas where it is specifically needed. The touch is gentle, light and comfortable; there is no massage or manipulation. You may feel sensations such as heat, tingling, coolness or throbbing under the practitioners' hands or in other parts of your body, or you may feel very little. Many people experience a sense of well being and relaxation, or fall asleep; sometimes a treatment is energizing. There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. 

Reiki Attunement

Reiki attunement is an investment in your well being and self-development.  It is simple to learn and no specialist medical knowledge or specialist equipment is required.  Click Book Online to reserve your place or email sophia@hestiasflame.com if you need more information or want to propose a date for training.  If you would like to meet me before you enrol, please book yourself in for a Free Discovery Call.  Choosing a Reiki master is a bit like choosing a place to live or a community so it is wise to be sure!
