Not every pain or physical dysfunction we experience can be traced to a physical cause such as injury trauma or disease. Medical professionals have recognised for decades that in some patients the pain has a psychogenic root. Psychogenic pain is defined as a pain disorder associated with psychological factors. Clients will often come to complementary therapists for support with their physical issue after feeling dismissed by the medical profession once tests such as MRI scans have failed to...
I have several friends who suffer from this unfortunate condition who have benefitted a great deal from regular Reiki and so I wanted to bring awareness to other sufferers too. For those of you who do not know much about fibromyalgia (FM), it is a condition that presents intense, chronic muscle pain in various, or all areas of the body at the same time, and other symptoms include sleep disturbance, IBS, depression, constant headaches, lethargy and inability to move; for instance, if the legs...
When stressed we often feel as if we are spinning out of control, as we rush from one thing to another, struggling with concentration and maintaining focus. This is often a sign that our energy is stuck in our higher chakras and we have become ungrounded. Being grounded brings us into the present moment and is important for good physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. A simple grounding exercise can be extremely useful at work too, before big meetings or presentations or simply to...

All life is energy and energy can travel through our systems and create balance. This is why reiki and crystals have became so popular within health care and our lives in general. Crystals are a part of Mother Earth, connecting, balancing and harmonising. They also connect with all living things not only within, but interconnecting with the energy fields around us too. We are not always aware of the energy around us from the earth, crystals or other people, but our energy systems and higher...
Open, clear and balanced chakras support our physical body in many ways. They help our immune system to work at its optimum, they encourage steady blood flow which in turn benefits the health of our internal organs, and they give us the ability to handle stress and our emotions more effectively. So, what are chakras? Simply put, chakras are wheels of energy that act as pumps, valves or mini engine rooms, regulating the flow of energy through our entire energy system. The word...
Reflexology and Reiki are both wonderful treatments on their own. Reflexology is so very relaxing, having 50 minutes reclining in a reflexology chair and a skilled therapist, release tension in the reflexology points in the feet, is sheer bliss. Releasing this tension, which has built up over time, allows the energy trapped in those reflexology points to release, once that energy is released the body can then begin to heal itself. Some clients feel an immediate relief for example - shoulder...
Within the system of Reiki, three levels are taught. These are taken from ancient Japanese practices and esoteric teachings. Mikao Usui brought the teachings into modern life, giving them more structure and guidance. The first level is (Shoden) and means the 'entrance' or the 'beginning' and is the start of the student's Reiki journey. Shoden teaches a student to 'self-treat' and how to treat others. This is the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, and will continue throughout your Reiki...
