Welcome to Bearsden Reiki

Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) is a traditional Japanese healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: Rei (霊), meaning "universal" or "spiritual wisdom," and Ki (気), meaning "life force energy." In the traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho system, this energy is believed to flow through all living beings, and imbalances in this energy can lead to emotional, physical, or spiritual disharmony.

As a practitioner of Usui Reiki Ryoho, the original Reiki system founded by Dr. Mikao Usui, I work with this universal life force energy to balance the body's natural energy fields. During a session, I use gentle hand positions either lightly on or hovering above the body to channel Reiki energy, facilitating the release of energy blockages and restoring harmony on multiple levels.

Reiki is non-invasive and deeply relaxing, supporting your body’s innate ability to heal while bringing peace to your mind and soul.

Central to the practice of Reiki are the Five Reiki Precepts, which offer guidance for living a balanced and mindful life:

Just for today, do not anger

Just for today, do not worry

Be grateful

Work hard and honestly

Be kind to all living things

These precepts, taught by Dr. Usui, emphasise the importance of mindfulness and compassion, reminding us to remain present and peaceful in our daily lives. When combined with the energy healing practice of Reiki, these principles contribute to a holistic approach to wellness, fostering a greater sense of inner peace and alignment.
