Reiki & Reflexology Therapy
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive, foot massage involving thumb and finger techniques. Alternating pressure is applied to reflexes shown on reflex maps of the body located on the feet and hands. Reflexology is a holistic way to support your good health and help you feel better. It releases tension and maintain the stresses of your everyday life.
Reflexology has been known to decrease stress, increase relaxation, and improve circulation. Improved circulation can result in decreased muscle soreness and tension. It reduces swelling from illnesses or injuries. It also cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, revitalizes energy and boosts the immune system. Reflexology works with subtle energy flows, therefore the body heals itself.
Why a holistic approach?
Reflexology treats the body as a whole with interrelated systems. For example, working on one particular reflex point such as the neck and back, does not just address body stress there. By stimulating all of the reflex points, your entire system benefits by allowing healing energies go where they are most needed.
Will reflexology interfere with my current health care?
Reflexology is considered complementary care for people with many conditions. Be sure to tell your practitioner if you may be pregnant or have a medical condition. Reflexology is non-invasive. Meaning that no needles or tools are used – just the hands. In many countries such as Great Britain, reflexology is considered a standard part of their National Health Service. Japan also offers reflexology in their health program.
