Why a Jikiden Reiki® Treatment is Worth Exploring: A Holistic Approach to Wellness

What is Jikiden Reiki®?

Jikiden Reiki® is the original Japanese Usui Reiki free from Western Influence or modification. It uses the authentic, simple, down to earth techniques as they were passed down by Mikao Usui.

What happens during a Jikiden Reiki® treatment?

You remain fully clothed in a relaxed position (usually lying down on a treatment couch but you can sit in a chair if this is more comfortable for you). Hands are placed directly on your body on/near to the area of concern. Reiki energy is focused where it is needed most to support your body's natural healing processes.

Most people report feeling warmth from the hands when they are placed on the body and general feelings of warmth/coolness, waves of energy and a sense of profound relaxation.

Why would I want a Jikiden Reiki treatment?

Jikiden Reiki supports and encourages your natural healing processes on all levels. When people are stressed, ill or injured their natural healing ability may be disrupted and by introducing reiki energy we are reactivating your body's own natural healing abilities. As well as working on a physical level Jikiden Reiki can be supportive and helpful in balancing psychological conditions such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, trauma, grief and unhelpful habits. This mind/body approach is what makes a Jikiden Reiki a holistic to gaining and maintaining wellness.

Our lives are so busy these days that many of us are constantly overriding our parasympathetic nervous system (often called the rest and digest system) leaving us in a constant state of fight or flight. Our parasypathetic nervous system controls the functions of the body that happen automatically without us having to think about them such as breathing, digestion, pumping blood around, waste removal. It is responsible for calming the body down. But we can interrupt it. Have you ever been so busy you barely had time to use the loo only to end up with a UTI? Or had a really annoying colleague made your blood pressure rise every time their name is mentioned? Do your worries wake you in the middle of the night?

By going for a very relaxing treatment such as Jikiden Reiki we allow our parasympathetic nervous system to take over and regulate and calm our bodies. Reiki may help us to reach that state of relaxation faster.

When we feel busy, stressed or unwell just going for a treatment can feel like a faff. With Jikiden Reiki as soon as the hands are placed on us the treatment starts. There is nothing to do but get comfortable. If you really can't face going for a treatment or aren't feeling well enough then there is the option for Enkaku Reiki (distance healing).

How does a Jikiden Reiki treatment differ from other Reiki treatments?

In Jikiden Reiki treatments we are feeling for areas where toxins are building up in the body and providing a boost to the way our bodies naturally process those toxins. We are also feeling for how much toxic build up there is and how chronic it is.

In Jikiden Reiki treatments if we are treating areas of bare skin such as the face we use a light cotton cloth called a tenugui. This provides you with an extra layer of hygiene and my clients who have tried Jikiden Reiki say it feels cocooning and nice and cosy.

In Jikiden Reiki we can use a short 10 minute fully clothed massage to enhance blood and lymph circulation. This is a light touch massage and helpful for people who feel light headed or ungrounded after reiki.

As a practitioner, working with Jikiden Reiki feels effective, simple, pure and immediate. So much so it is now the only reiki I work with.

Are there times I should avoid a Jikiden Reiki treatment?

There are no known contraindications to Jikiden Reiki making it suitable for all. However, Jikiden Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions nor will they make any recommendation regarding medication. If you have any concerns or are worried about any symptoms or your medication you should consult your doctor.

Overall Jikiden Reiki treatments are relaxing, easy and can safely be used alongside all conventional and complementary therapies. It is a drug and supplement free way of supporting your own natural systems to optimise your wellbeing. The relaxed, peaceful feeling often lasts beyond the treatment room and people report sleeping well after their session. Sound good?
