Reiki

Reiki is an ancient self-development, meditation and healing system that was rediscovered in Japan early last century. Its core purpose is creating more balance and vitality in all aspects of your life; your mind, your emotions, your body and your relationships.

Reiki means 'Universal Life Energy'. Eastern medicine, yoga and martial arts have always worked with this energy; it is known as 'Ki' in Japan, as 'Chi' in China, and 'Prana' in India.

As a complementary method, Reiki is being used in GP surgeries, hospices, cancer support groups and drug rehabilitation.  However, Reiki treatments do not replace the need to seek medical advice if you have a health problem.​

Reiki Treatments

Andrea is an exprerienced Reiki practitoner and teacher, and offers treatments in Hanwell, West  London 
​If you cannot travel, sessions in your home in/around London might be scheduled (travel fees apply).

What happens in a Session 

The first step of every session is making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. You choose whether you want to sit on a chair or lie on the massage table, whether you want some music, extra blankets or pillows. There is no need to remove any clothing.

I will then put my hands gently in a series of positions - on or over the body (you can choose this as well). In some positions, I will remain for a while, in others, I will move on quite quickly. You don't have to worry about the timing and intensity at all: Your energy system will only draw in as much Reiki energy as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time.
​
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, a mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. After the session, you will feel relaxed and calm, and may want to rest for a while.

You may benefit from Reiki if:

  • You feel worn-out and tense and may suffer from stress-related illnesses.
  • You have had a tough week. You would like to pamper yourself and get your emotions back in balance.
  • You need an energy boost for improving a relationship or following through with a personal change effort (such as adapting your diet, reducing the need for alcohol or tobacco, building more exercise or leisure time in your calendar, etc.).

Sessions / Costs

  • Regular Treatment: £70 (one hour, with a short chat before/after - minimum of 50min Reiki guaranteed).
  • Reiki with Mentoring: £90 (90minutes; Reiki session with longer debrief,  possibly additional elements, such as breathing exercises and guided meditation).

Training: Reiki for Self-Treatment

Giving yourself Reiki - either hands-on or through breathing and meditation exercises - is a great way to release stress, balance your emotions, practise mindfulness and generate more energy. It can re-generate your self-healing ability and help release tension, anxiety and pain. It helps you focus, find new solutions and overcome inner barriers. 

Reiki is a  great supporting tool that can be used every day. You don't have to set aside a special time, it can be done in a ten minutes break at work, on public transport or before you fall asleep. It is ideal for you if you...
  • work a lot and feel under pressure
  • juggle different roles and responsibilities
  • are challenged with relationship issues

  • aim to release an addiction or an eating disorder
  • live with a long-term illness

Reiki Share

If you have a Reiki 1 degree or higher, you are welcome to join our monthly Reiki Share. This is a peer-exchange, where we give each other Reiki. We always start with a guided Reiki Meditation or Self-healing session. 
  • Dates: 5 March, 2 April, 7 May, 4 June, 17 Sept, 29 Oct, 3 December 2023
  • Time: Sunday afternoons: 3.00-6pm
  • Cost: £18

Training: Reiki 1 Course

Learning Reiki 1 feels like a celebration of yourself: supported by Reiki energy, you will re-connect to your strength and beauty, and explore your ability to transform and heal. The course will inspire you to create a regular practice of self-development. This will help your restore the balance on all levels of your life, release stress and foster inner harmony and self-confidence.

If you are new to self-development or energy work, you may gain a whole new perspective on who you are and how 'things' work around you. If you have done energy work before, Reiki offers an additional tool that is simple and effective and can be used without any preparation or effort.

What you can do with Reiki 1

  • Use Reiki on yourself - including Reiki Meditations
  • Give Reiki to friends and family (not to clients - you cannot take money for Reiki with Reiki 1 degree)
  • Give Reiki to your pets, plants, etc. 
  • Attend Reiki Shares to exchange Reiki with other practitioners. 
  • Attend Follow-up courses  and workshop, up to practitioner or teacher level.

Content of the Course

You will learn the basics of energy work and Reiki history and principles. You will explore methods of meditation and self treatments, which will enable you to create a regular Reiki practice for yourself. You will also learn how to treat others - both with the traditional hand positions and in an intuitive way. We will discuss the ethical and practical aspects of offering Reiki to others.

The most important aspects of this training are the attunements: the strengthening of your energy-channels (crown, third eye, heart and palms), which allow Reiki to flow freely.
I will also give you a Reiju empowerment in the style of Mikao Usui, which will connect you to Reiki energy even more.

Course Schedule

  • Weekend Course: Saturday:  10am-6pm, Sunday 1.30-6pm (you will join our Reiki Share group at 3pm)
  • Dates: 6/7 May; 16/17 Sept; possibly also 2/3 Dec (to be confirmed)
  • Location: Hanwell, West London
  • Costs: £145, Course materials included (£50 deposit upon sign-up, non-refundable unless I have to cancel the course). You can also buy a Reiki book for £15 to support your learning (also on Kindle)
  • Sign-up: Vitalityleap@gmail.com
After Reiki 1, you can do additional training to become a Reiki practitioner. If you learned with another teacher, we will first have a conversation about your experience and skill level.  Next Reiki 2 training: 23/24 September 2023, next Reiki 3 practitioner training: 11/12 November 2023. Visit our Fireside Lodge website for more info. ​

Reiki is well researched and many health care professionals (including the NHS) accept it as a complimentary therapy. The UK Reiki Federation has published a summary of a variety of studies that measure the impact of Reiki as a Healing Art. Please note: Reiki does not replace a visit to the GP or a mental health care professional if you feel unwell.   Download the study here (pdf file).
We would love to hear from you.
