REIKIREIKI

A unique healing practice addressing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual causes of disease and illness and the promotion of health and well-being

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a versatile, powerful, natural, holistic healing modality based on the premise that we are composed of mind body and spirit. As such, Reiki helps with physical issues (including pain), our mental and emotional relationship to our selves and others and our connection to a higher power - however one may define it

Where is Reiki used?

It is used by practitioners in their own practice and increasingly in healthcare settings such as hospitals and hospices - either by itself or complementing other treatments

How does Reiki work?

Truth is..no one knows exactly! General definitions of Reiki revolve around "intelligently guided spiritual energy". The Reiki practitioner does not use their energy...but calls upon Reiki to assist in healing. When I use Reiki, the best term that sums it up for me is "unconditional love". Reiki therefore can do no harm and will provide healing for your highest good..whilst respecting your free will.


What can Reiki help with?

In short Reiki can help with everything and can help everyone! It is perfectly safe and natural.

Studies show Reiki can help with a range of issues such as anxiety, pain, fatigue, chronic stress, low mood and strengthens our overall well being.

•⁠ ⁠It can help with all sorts of healing - including post-operative recovery by switching on the body's innate healing mechanisms

•⁠ ⁠It can help with the debilitating side-effects of cancer treatments- such as nausea, anxiety and fatigue

•⁠ ⁠It can help those facing "end of life" on both physical and emotional levels - and is regularly used in hospices for palliative care

•⁠ ⁠It can help us to manage our daily, and increasing, stress levels, so we are not in a perpetual cycle of "fight or flight" - minimising both physical and emotional issues for ourselves in the future.

It is far better to ACT NOW and maintain the body and mind in a healthy state of functioning, than to wait until we have a problem. Only then to 'treat " it through conventional means, such as pharmacology - which often only manages symptoms and can bring additional side effects. Drugs do have a role in modern medicine...but they should be used in addition to more natural ways of healing.


Is Reiki scientific?

Yes..100 peer reviewed scientific papers have established the benefits of having reiki, in addition to the anecdotal reports and experiences of both Reiki practitioners and their clients. Furthermore, the work of Torsten A. Lange at the ReikiScience Academy significantly demonstrated that Swiss and London tap water changed in both quality and structure after receiving Reiki. This is of great significance as we are composed of 70-80% structured water - is this the change that is occurring in us when we receive Reiki?

Note the granular structures have changed into more natural, organic shapes...clearly showing that Reiki is not merely a placebo


What is a Reiki session?

  • You will be fully clothed and Reiki can be conducted with hands on or off the body - whatever your preference.

  • You can be in a chair or lying down on a bed.

  • Sessions last 1 hour - £40

  • Recipient's commonly report feelings of warmth and tingling in the body, may see colours, images...they may have even deeper experiences...or they may feel very little. Regardless Reiki will be working. Effects may even be felt after the session. You may feel physical effects or it may be more mental...and may change from session to session. One thing is certain...you will feel more relaxed than when the session began...and that can only be a good thing!

  • I am willing to travel to you if you prefer, although there may be additional travel costs if outside of York.

  • I welcome all enquiries and offer free consultations to discuss how Reiki may be of help to you.

  • I am a Usui Reiki Master and ReikiScience practitioner


ABOUT ALEX

Alex Lishman - Reiki Practitioner

I have been a community nurse for 15 years and am therefore punctual, approachable, trust worthy and strive to deliver the highest standards of care. I practice Usui Reiki - the original form of Reiki - and can trace my lineage back to its founder, Mikao Usui. My mission is to promote the huge benefits that Reiki offers to EVERYONE regardless of their beliefs, health condition or situation. We live in a time of unprecedented levels of stress and chronic illness - which we become habituated to - and from which body and mind can only compensate for so long. So, in addition to helping those from all walks of life, my goal, through giving someone Reiki and their unique experience of it, is to enable them, if desired, to take greater responsibility for their own health and quality of life - rather than seeking help from external sources. Our modern way of living is way out of balance, and Reiki is the perfect, natural and intelligent way to redress this.


TESTIMONIALS

  • Gemma

    I attended my first Reiki session with Alex and I was extremely grateful. Alex was compassionate, understanding and provided a positive energy. After the session, I appreciated the read into my Reiki journey. Over a few sessions, I felt more connected to myself and conscious of how I'm balancing/unbalancing my energy. Alex doesn't just heal, he gives you a chance to explore beyond the heal.

  • Hannah

    This was my first Reiki experience and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Alex was fantastic from the moment I arrived. He made me feel completely comfortable, relaxed and at ease throughout the session. He took the time to explain the process and created a calm, welcoming environment that helped me feel confident and open to the experience. I left feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone considering Reiki, especially if it's your first session.

  • Jo

    Since starting Reiki with Alex, I know I have connected with the right healer for me. Reiki has helped with chronic pain I have had from arthritis in my foot and back for 15 years, I no longer need to take strong prescribed pain killers on a regular basis. During the sessions I feel very relaxed and can feel the energy moving through and around me. At times I have been extremely emotional and have cried during and afterwards but felt something in me is being healed and I am more grounded. Alex has a calm and relaxing way and always gives the time needed for the session.

  • Suzanne

    Reiki with Alex was a great experience from start to finish. Having arrived not knowing what to expect Alex put me at ease immediately and was thoughtful and clear in his approach introducing me to Reiki. The treatment itself was intuitive, respectful and responsive. The result was the feeling of a sense of deep relaxation and healing.

  • Lauren

    Alex was great! He was extremely professional and made me feel at ease straight away. Each session was relaxing and I felt a great sense of calm following each one. Alex took the time to explain everything and was very informative. I would highly recommend Alex! Thank you!
