Reiki for insomnia

Having problems sleeping? Why not try treating your insomnia with reiki?

Reiki healing is a form of energy healing which focuses on removing energy blocks within the body. It uses life-force energy, or ‘chi’, to help cleanse a person's entire being by balancing the chakras, the aura, the mind and the physical body. Established in Japan, this energy has been handed down a line of reiki practitioners over the years and promotes safe natural healing of the body.

Reiki energy is very soft and peaceful. It helps with many conditions and removes blocks within the body and the chakra system. The healing reiki energy passes from the reiki practitioner to the client with ease, and knows where to go in order to heal that person.

During a reiki session a practitioner may touch your body lightly in some areas or not touch you at all. It is all dependant on where they feel the reiki energy needs to go, whether that be towards your physical body or your auric body. There are no known contraindications to reiki treatment, although if you are taking psycho-active drugs you may have an extreme response to reiki.
