Reiki can heal a person on many levels.

1). It can heal the physical body; muscles, bones, skin etc and such physical problems as headaches, insomnia, aches, pains and much more.

2). It heals the emotional body; i.e. depression, grief, anger, lack of joy.

3). It heals the mental body; the thoughts, the beliefs which hold a person back from living their life as fully and happily as possible, instances of too much thinking, when the brain never slows down or relaxes.

4). It heals the spiritual body; the sense of being alone in this world, it brings about a sense of connection to the universe, a sense of belonging, an acceptance of oneself and therefore others.

So it heals on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level.

Treatments usually last for an hour.  On receiving Reiki the client lies on a treatment bed fully clothed whilst the practitioner rests their hands lightly on the body in a sequence of positions, each one being held for a few minutes.  Treatment can be carried out sitting if lying is not comfortable.  The energy transferred is usually felt as heat, but other sensations such as coldness or tingling are not uncommon.
