Serenity Flow Reiki

A BRIEF HISTORY OF REIKI 

The word Reiki in Japanese script is formed by two Kangis. Rei and Ki. Rei best translates to Spirit, Divine or Source. Ki best translates to universal energy “Life The Force “.

Buddhist Priest Dr Mikao Usui the founder of the Reiki system (Ryoho) spiritual method, was born in 1865 in a village in Japan, from a long samurai lineage, he trained as a samurai from young age, at the age of 12 he began martial art. As an adult he became the personal secretary to the mayor of Tokyo who then became the minister for transport. With this began to travel and along the way he learned about other cultures and beliefs. Usui served as a Tendai lay Priest . He then married and had two children. Later became bankrupt ,despite coming from a samurai lineage and wealth he had a lot of suffering and was in search of a more meaningful life. He went in different retreats to find answers and only when he spoke to a Priest, he took his advice to go to Mount Karama to find solitude and meditate.  After a very long while and almost coming close to death he suddenly felt what he was been searching for. One day after 21 days of discipline and no eating he felt over his head Ryoho “Reiki”. He then practices and practices to himself and his family. He then realises that this energy healing practice was best shared with the world.  Was pass down from Master to student in a traceable lineage. I was taught by the 7 th Lineage of Mikao Usui in western and eastern attuned in both lineages.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A REIKI TREATMENT 

The treatment required the recipient to be fully clothed preferably soft non restrictive clothing to allow maximum comfort. We will ask you to remove Chucky jewellery and shoes so you can effectively relax. Prefer not to consume coffee two hours prior appointment.  
The recipient can be lay down or sitting down depending on preference and comfort.  I will take the client through a gentle meditation and once ready I will perform a sequence of hands movements  and Reiki will flow. The Reiki practitioners act like a conduit that creates the right environment for the energy to go where it needs. The client is in charge of its own healing I’m the facilitator. Different people may feel different sensation like tingling in some areas, warmth or cold, pass memory, or even fall asleep in a longer session that doesn’t affect or make the treatment less effective. It’s important for us to listen to each individual without judgement and opinion. We are here to create a safe space for you.
