I am a Usui
Reiki Master, using traditional methods, as taught by Dr. Mikao
Usui.
The word
Reiki means universal life energy. It is defined as being that
power which acts and lives in all created matter. In the original
Japanese (left) it is two words. The first syllable rei describes
the universal, boundless aspect of this energy while ki is the
vital life force energy which flows through all living beings.
Many races,
cultures and religions are aware of the existence of an energy
which corresponds to the meaning of ki. Thus ki is named Chi
in China, and Prana in India, and bioplasmic energy by Russian
researchers. In the USA it has been called the Human Energy
Field. In Britain it may sometimes be called the vital spark
or essence. I prefer the more commonly used Chinese version:
Chi.
Throughout
the history of mankind healing methods have always existed which
were based on the transfer of a universal, all-pervading life
energy, the same energy which brings forth all life in the universe
and nourishes it. Thousands of years ago the Tibetans already
possessed a deep understanding of the nature of spirit, energy
and matter, using this knowledge to heal their bodies, harmonise
their souls and lead their spirits to an experience of unity.
We come across this knowledge later again in India and find
modified forms of it in the Japanese, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek
and Roman cultures, just to mention a few.
This knowledge
was guarded and preserved by the mystery schools of most ancient
cultures and was available in its entirety only to very few
people, usually priests or spiritual leaders who in turn passed
it on to their disciples by word of mouth.
Modern scholars often come across handed-down forms of this
inner knowledge but generally misinterpret it because it is
usually shrouded in cryptic language and symbols. The knowledge
of Reiki would have been lost forever had not Dr. Mikao Usui
at the end of the 19th century rediscovered the key in 2,500-year-old
Sanskrit writings which led to the recovery of an ages-old tradition
of healing.

How Can
Reiki Help You?
Reiki can be given for any illness, injury or stress, and there
are no bad side effects. It is complementary to all other therapies.
It can be given to anyone, any age, and can also be given to
animals.
Reiki gives
a holistic framework to identify and correct energy imbalances
and hence restore function or remove pain.

What
Actually Happens During A Treatment?
You will
simply be asked to sit or lie down fully clothed whilst my hands
lightly touch you. You may not even notice that you are being
touched, and indeed sometimes my hands will not be touching
you.
I work mostly
on the energy centres of the body known as the chakras. These
are points or areas on the body which have to do with how we
process chi, on the physical level, as well as on higher levels.
Reiki is
about healing the spirit, which in turn heals the body and mind.
Reiki is
not faith healing and is not connected with any
religion or religious group. It is not necessary to have religious
or spiritual beliefs in order to benefit from Reiki. All that
is required is your innermost desire to be hale and hearty
as we say in Scotland. The positive desire to be healthy is
the first step towards wellness.

Particular
Approach and Applications
My treatments
combine well with most other therapies, particularly homeopathy,
herbal remedies and flower essences. In addition where possible
I instruct my clients in self-help techniques. I like to combine
my knowledge of body-work and energy-work into a synthesis of
patient-centred care.
I have a particular interest in treating horses and other animals.
I am also
fully qualified as a Spiritual Healer, being a member of the
National Federation of Spiritual Healers of the UK.
