Reiki for Children

The wonderful healing energy of Reiki can soothe babies when they are crying, reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of colic or the inflammation of teething. Children usually enjoy the Reiki energy and respond quickly to a treatment that can help with headaches, stomach-aches and colds.

 

Testimonial: 'During my Reiki sessions I have always felt very calm and nurtured, this feeling usually lasts for several days afterwards. I have had ten sessions and after four my nausea had completely gone. I am now in my 3rd trimester and feeling fantastic, with more energy and more able to cope with everyday chores. My feet feel particularly great and I’m sure the baby enjoys it as well because it’s always very quiet when Anne is working over my tummy. We always have a wonderful relaxing treatment and I feel very blessed that I am experiencing a beautiful pregnancy.'

Reiki

 

Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing, originating in Tibet and arriving in the West via Japan. Reiki treatments are beautiful powerful experiences that benefit individuals on many levels including, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.

 

During a treatment the practitioner places their
hands respectfully and gently above or on the client’s body and will act as a channel for the Reiki energy which finds its way to the areas of imbalance, stimulating the body’s own natural healing potential.

 

A client may experience deep relaxation, heat, coolness or mild tingling sensations. There can be a feeling of protection, clarity and often, visual experience of seeing colours or shapes.

 

Reiki can be used safely alongside conventional medicine or natural remedies without side effects and is appropriate for all ages including children and babies.

 

Reiki for Pregnancy

Reiki gives incredible nurturing support during pregnancy, helping to drive away feelings of anxiousness and apprehension towards the ensuing event of labour and becoming a “mum”. It will calm and settle the mind with its subtle healing energy helping to encourage more regular sleep patterns, drive away muscular fatigue and deeply relax the body. It can relieve the unpleasant symptoms of morning sickness and headaches, ease lower back pain and swollen ankles.

 

We would recommend treatments in the 1st and 2nd trimester that concentrate on the abdomen, heart, solar plexus and the temples to energise the mother and growing foetus. During the 3rd trimester Reiki has the potential to help in the adjustment for all the physical changes that are taking place during the pregnancy, so working all over the body will help to bring physical relief and give the client positive support for the looming childbirth.
