What can reiki do for me?

Reiki is becoming more and more popular as people realise its ability to help us heal in so many ways. Not only can reiki help enhance our own natural healing by speeding up recovery from short and long term problems of the mind, body and spirit, it helps our minds and bodies bring us back into balance. You don't even have to be ill to receive the benefits of reiki as it promotes relaxation and stress relief, helping us cope better with life and feel whole again. 

What is reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key and can be translated 'as spiritually-guided life-force energy') was rediscovered about 100 years ago by Mikao Usui (above right) in Japan. Reiki is energy which can be channelled through anyone who has taken at least Reiki I training, and out of their hands, which are placed on or near the person who needs healing; perhaps concentrating around the chakras or main energy centres around the body, or to a place it is intuitively felt needs healing. This gentle yet powerful energy is not guided by the practitioner, but finds it's own way to where it is needed the most and stimulates the person's own healing response. A receiver draws exactly the energy they need, which can make it feel different for everyone. Most people feel deeply relaxed, while some feel invigorated. Most feel warmth from the practitioner's hands, some feel the tingling energy as it goes where it needs to go; others see beautiful colours, images or memories. It works only for the person's highest good and it heals what is ready to be healed, at the root cause of the problem on emotional, mental, physical or spiritual levels. 

Reiki can therefore help any condition and works in complement with any other treatment. Full treatments usually last around an hour for  adults (usually less for children and animals) and it can, by intention, also be sent to people over distance. Anyone can 'learn' reiki, the process of which stimulates a healing response in itself and can change your life in so many positive ways. It's a wonderful tool to have available to help throughout life; on hand all the time!

We also practice KarunaTM and Traditional Japanese Reiki (involving separate training courses). KarunaTM Reiki was 'developed' by Willliam Rand and other reiki masters in the States, where they channelled 12 new symbols for 3 different levels. These connect to high vibration energy which has an impact on deep healing issues.  Traditional Japanese Reiki is an Advanced course that covers techniques that Dr Usui used to use in his practice. We teach elements of these in our Reiki I and Reiki II classes.


How do I arrange a session?

Sessions are £25 for up to an hour and a half (concessions available) and held here in our healing room in Porthtowan. You can come for a FREE initial consultation to learn more about reiki and see if it is for you. Or phone us on 01209 891346 to book an appointment.
Need more information?  Mail us for more details. 

Costs too much? Soon (April 03) Wheel of Light Healing sessions are going to be starting up all over Cornwall offering low-cost healing to the community at £5(£3 conc) for about 20 minutes. We are co-chairing one in Porthtowan. Contact us for more details.


Can I learn reiki?

Anyone can! No special talents or gifts or experience are required to learn reiki as a simple 'attunement' connects you to the energy and facilitates you as a channel so it can pass through you. Click here to learn about the multitude of benefits of doing reiki yourself!

Reiki truly is a gift to us all, and we are so fortunate that we are can all 'learn' the basics in a weekend. Click here for more details and how to book a class in our stunning part of Cornwall.

There are many variations on the history of reiki. Many of the early books on reiki in the 80s and 90s came from a 'Western-Takata reiki' viewpoint before Traditional Japanese Reiki was unearthed. There are, therefore, many variations in practical viewpoint which may be expressed in reiki books. Frank Arjava Petter, a Western reiki master living and teaching in Japan (and colleagues) have undertaken extensive research which could point to the actual origins of reiki.  However, each reiki master brings something of themselves and their experiences to their practice, which could be of interest to readers of books written by other authors.

Frank Petter's books on Reiki are down to earth and useful for the Reiki practitioner. This one is the best Reiki book I have read to date, it dispells many of the so called rules that have been attributed to Dr Usui through the Western Masters.

An Amazon reader review says:
If you are a Reiki practitioner, this is definitely the book to read. To some it may be controversial, but bringing together the thoughts of three Reiki Masters in one publication makes for fascinating reading. Lubeck, Rand and Petter have spent many years researching and have discovered some fascinating information concerning the evolution of Reiki from Dr Mikao Usui to the present day. Well worth reading more than once!

An Amazon reader review says:
'Reiki Fire' is a classic amongst Reiki books.. I found it engrossing, inspiring and pleasantly down to earth. Frank Arjava Petter writes with an affable enthusiasm for his subject, drawing on his own life experiences to demonstrate the power that Reiki can have in your life, if you let go and allow it to work. What I really like about 'Reiki Fire' is the lack of self absorbed pseudo-spirituality which pervades so many New Age and alternative books. Reiki is actually very straightforward - certainly it can be dressed up in all sorts of ways - but Arjava describes it in its pure form.

What's the difference between the various  types of reiki?

Numerous forms of reiki have evolved from the Usui reiki that was brought to the west in the 1940s. The 'Western' reiki that developed is very much different from reiki as it began in the early 20th century. The energy vibrations of subsequent 'new' reikis may be slightly different, and be useful for healing different things (just like the 'Mental and Emotional' symbol in Usui Reiki is useful for healing these problems), but the end point for them all is the same: to help heal a person for his or her highest good.
You will be drawn to whichever one is right for you.
