How does Reiki work?
A Reiki healer is attuned to Reiki energy, which means their channels are opened up to universal life energy. The client automatically draws this universal life energy from the healer. Kirlian photography, invented by Semyon and Valentina Kirlian, has been used to photograph the aura and the energy exchange between healer and patient during healing treatments. (Note: I do not provide Kirlian photographs.)

How can Reiki help me?
The nature of Reiki means that it can be beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions. I have found particular success in helping clients cope with anxiety, stressful periods in their lives, feeling drained and tired all the time, and to speed up recovery after illness, operations or injuries. It is important to note that for a successful Reiki treatment the client does not need to believe in Reiki or the concept of auras and life force energy. In addition, Reiki is compatible with all religious beliefs.
Reiki – Mechanisms of Healing – Part 1
In the past series on Reiki I discussed whether Reiki was a placebo, and cited a variety of scientific experiments to demonstrate it is not. Now I would like to discuss the mechanisms of healing. Like all other aspects of healing, the mechanism is little understood. So I would like to discuss the range of ideas concerning such mechanisms. At one end of this range, is the belief, held by many healers, that they are channelling a higher spiritual energy that ultimately derives from God. This energy is often referred to as “divine love” or “unconditional love” by healers. At the other end of the range there are many theories which are based on our knowledge of science, particular physics. The possibility that any conventional electromagnetic energy may be a candidate for “healing energy” seems unlikely as healing has been shown, at times to operate outside the dimensions of space & time. For example there are a wide variety of scientific experiments were healing procedures were partly or wholly undertaken at a distance1. Between these 'spiritual' and 'material' poles there is a middle ground of ideas concerning healing mechanisms based on the concepts of subtle energies, the subtle energy bodies of all living organisms and the universal energy known by names such as prana and chi. . I personally believe that I act as a channel for universal energy that comes from the natural world. References Dossey, L. (1993). Healing Words. The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine.

Are their any side effect of Reiki treatments?
The aim of Reiki is to restore harmony within the client and instil a sense of peace. During the process of restoring harmony you may notice subtle changes in your mood, appetite or sleeping pattern. All of these reactions are very short lived and subtle as Reiki is one of the gentlest treatments available.
