What is Reiki?

Reiki, pronounced ‘ray-key’, is a Japanese energy healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 20^th century. A Reiki master (who has undergone formal training in this healing art) uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (what’s known in Reiki as life force energy) through the client’s body to reduce stress and promote healing.

In a standard treatment, the client is usually laying on a massage couch fully clothed, but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the client’s body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the client’s needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position.

Some practitioners describe reiki as acupuncture without the needles.
This gentle therapy can help with:

Stress and tension

Reiki promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress and tension, which can have positive effects on overall health.

Sleep disturbances

People often report improved sleep quality and overall rest.

Pain management

Many people report that reiki helps to alleviate pain and discomfort.

Low energy levels

Reiki practitioners believe the body’s energy flow is balanced and restored which leads to improved energy levels.

Spiritual growth

Reiki is not associated with any specific religion but is often associated with spiritual growth and self-awareness.

Green Ray Reiki

Green Ray Reiki works with Nature’s energy, the Green Ray, a powerful, life force energy that comes from nature that can be found in everything that grows.

This system of Reiki draws specifically upon the Earth energy vibration and is used in the regeneration and healing of the physical body and to some degree the emotional body. It can assist us to fight against illness, disease and pollution.

It primarily focuses on repairing, regenerating, rejuvenating, harmonising and balancing our physical form and it can smooth one’s emotions and bring clarity and awareness. It is a gentle, yet powerful Reiki system that can bring much joy into your life.

As with other Reiki systems, through gentle touch or non-touch techniques, practitioners aim to clear energetic blockages, promote relaxation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Violet Flame healings

The Violet Flame is the active principle of the 7^th Ray (the rays are a manifestation of divine power on earth, each holding a different quality and force). The Violet Flame is an esoteric fire used in spiritual alchemy. It has the power to transform a state of energy into its polar opposite, for example, negativity into positivity, sorrow into joy, sickness into health, obstacles into opportunities and it transmutes these negative energies by going through a simple 7-stage alchemical process.

The Violet Flame therefore has the ability to clear and cleanse negative energies within people and spaces. If a person or a space has become full of heaviness, full of sadness, pain or grief for instance, the Violet Flame can be used to dramatically alter the dynamic within that person or space. It can be used to transform or alter these states into the lightest, best version of itself such as, love, light, peace and joy. If a person or a space has become traumatised by an event and is full of shock, this can be transmuted into freedom, hope, optimism and positivity. Any energy that we encounter that is not serving our greater good, can be transmuted into its polar opposite. The Violet Flame is able to powerfully cleanse negative emotions such as fear, doubt, anger, grief, depression, low self-worth and loneliness.

Crystal Healing

Crystal healing is a holistic practice that uses various crystals to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Crystal healers believe that each crystal emits its own unique energy frequency, which can interact with the body’s energy field to bring about balance and healing.

Practitioners may place crystals on specific parts of the body, known as chakras, or around a person’s environment to clear negative energy, enhance positivity, and stimulate healing. Each kind of crystal are believed to possess distinct properties and benefits; for example, amethyst is associated with calming and intuition, and will aid healing wherever it is needed within the body. While rose quartz is a very gentle crystal often used for promoting love and harmony. It can release any imbalances where there is stress.

Many people find crystal healing extremely beneficial for relaxation, stress relief, and personal growth. It can aid you in addressing any kind of dis-ease such as suppressed emotions, relieving physical ailments as well as promoting good health.

Chakra Balancing with Crystals

This gentle energy therapy supports emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing by working with the vibrational properties of crystals. Each crystal is placed along the body’s chakra system to help release energetic blockages and encourage natural flow and balance.

Crystals are chosen for their resonance with specific chakras, for example, Clear Quartz for clarity at the crown or Tiger’s Eye to activate confidence in the solar plexus, creating a personalised and restorative experience.

Other healing therapies may be intuitively added to enhance the session’s impact, including Reiki & Seichem, Violet Flame healing, and Green Ray Reiki. These modalities work alongside the crystal energies to support deep clearing, realignment, and healing.

Parminder Kaur : Reiki Master

Reiki is a gentle, powerful form of energy healing that promotes balance, relaxation, and natural healing. This holistic practice originated in Japan and is widely seen as a complementary practice for emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

The word ‘Reiki’ comes from the Japanese words, ‘rei’ meaning universal or spiritual and ‘ki’ meaning life force energy; Reiki is thus a ‘spiritually guided life force energy’ and holds the belief that when a person’s energy is balanced, their body will naturally heal and function at its best.

As a Reiki master, I can channel or guide this healing energy to you by lightly placing my hands on or just above your body so that it flows where it is needed the most – physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Reiki is known to help with reducing stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and better sleep, supporting emotional healing and clarity, relieving physical pain or discomfort, and enhancing spiritual growth and connection.
