Reiki

Reiki wakes up your Divine Essence so you can see your spirit behind the veils.Reiki has been around for thousands of years. Its current form was first developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui, who reportedly taught 2,000 people the Reiki method during his lifetime. The practice spread to the U.S. through Hawaii in the 1940s, and then to Canada and Europe in the 1980s.
The word "Reiki" means "mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign." It comes from the Japanese words "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy). Reiki is a type of energy healing and is often referred to as palm healing or hands-on healing and it targets the energy fields around the body.
A persons energy field that surrounds their body can become stagnate when there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain leading to energy blockages in the body. In time, these energy blocks can lead to illness and Reiki helps to remove blockages and restore the bodies flow of energy in much the way as how acupuncture or acupressure works.

How long is a Reiki session?

Session is 1 hour.

How often are sessions recommended?

The number of sessions will vary, depending on what a client wishes to accomplish. Some clients prefer to have one session while others have a series of sessions to work on a particular issue. 

What can I expect during a Reiki session?

During your Reiki session you will lie on a massage table fully clothed. The setting is very peaceful with soft Reiki music playing in the background. Reiki involves the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs and torso using different hand positions, each position between 2 and 5 minutes. The hands are placed over 20 different areas of the body. The transfer of Reiki energy takes place while the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body. During this time, you may feel warmth and tingling coming from the practitioners hands. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy is flowing smoothly. If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the hands can be held just above the wound.

After I leave my session, should I do anything special?

Please drink plenty of water to hydrate your body as your body’s energy system may be moving at a more optimum rate, so please care for yourself with water and healthy food during the day. It is beneficial to spend some quiet time that day or evening after your session to journal or to contemplate as you may have some insights and further mental clarity as your body continues to process the Reiki session.

What clients are saying.

Depression Reduced Dramatically  I sought out Reiki whilst looking for an alternative to reduce the prescription medicine I was taking for anxiety and depression. Being naturally sceptical I decided however to approach Reiki with an open mind, and am very pleased with the results so far. The Reiki sessions are extremely relaxing and the severity and duration of the depressive episodes has reduced dramatically. Also I am able to deal with challenges at work with much more confidence and reduced anxiety.  - CarlAt Peace with Myself Reiki changed my state of spirit significantly. It helped me clear my thoughts, calmed me down and improved my wellbeing. The most important effect it had was on my emotions. After six sessions of reiki healing I feel much more relaxed, more tolerant, more loving and it’s a lot easier to cope with the day-to-day stress.
I feel very much in peace with myself.  - Jennifer

Helped Deal with Cancer Ordeal I have been having regular Reiki sessions with Sharon since being diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2010. I can genuinely say that Reiki has really helped me, both physically and emotionally, to get through this very challenging time. Following two operations and 20 sessions of radiotherapy, I expected to feel extremely tired and run down, and I am convinced that the regular Reiki sessions have helped me to keep up my energy levels, and helped me remain positive throughout the ordeal! I am now back at work, pretty much back to “normal” and feel very well! - ClaireImproved Sleep & Headaches After reading about Reiki over many months I decided to give it a go! Each session I have had has been different, it is extremely relaxing and has given me a calm peace within. I feel my sleep pattern and persistent headaches have improved greatly.Sharon is a very caring person who is very passionate about what she does. I have no hesitation in recommending her services. I think people should experience Reiki and feel the benefits of this truly healing service! - Karen

Can Bowen Therapy help Asthma & Allergies?

What happens in an Asthma Attack?

Asthma has become a common condition. Almost everyone knows someone who is suffering from this debilitating condition. Some develop it from childhood and then grow out of it by adulthood whereas others develop it as adults.

Certain things can trigger the sensitive airways in asthmatics to ‘flare-up’, causing the muscles around the airways to contract making the airways swell and become narrow, making it harder to breathe.

Key organs involved in an asthma attack are not just the lungs but also the diaphragm. Normally the diaphragm contracts when breathing in and then relaxes to allow expiration. However, with asthma, the diaphragm goes into spasm and may

be at a level of constant contraction. This allows the asthmatic to breathe in but becomes increasingly difficult to breathe out.


What Causes Asthma Attacks?

Asthma can be caused by various factors like;

  • Pollution

  • Allergies (pet, food, dust, chemicals)

  • Food intolerances

  • Infections

  • It can also be hereditary

Asthma attacks build-up starting from an initial difficulty breathing, dry cough, tightness and pain in the chest, cough during the night, difficulty breathing and wheezing. The heart rate increases as the body struggles to breathe. The cough can cause capillaries in the face to get damaged which can be seen.


How Bowen Therapy Can Help Asthma

Bowen Therapy is a natural and gentle way to manage Asthma. The Bowen moves act directly through (the nerves in the fascia onto) the nervous system by relaxing and soothing it, which in turn relaxes and releases the tension in the diaphragm allowing the asthmatic to exhale and therefore breathe easier.

Over time this:

  • Improves breathing

  • Reduces the number of attacks and their severity

  • Reduces the sensitivity to the triggers

  • Helps them respond better to the medication when needed

  • Reduces the need for medication

  • Improve overall health

I like to teach my clients how to perform a small Bowen emergency move they can do themselves when they feel a tightness beginning to build so they manage the condition themselves. This move is also excellent for hiccups or coughing, even anxiety or panic attacks to help relieve and tight chest and normalize breathing.


Research Study on efficacy of Bowen Therapy in managing Asthma 

A National Research program (between October 2002 to March 2004) was launched to determine the efficacy of The Bowen Therapy in the treatment of the Asthma condition. The research was carried out over a twelve month period. The research was aimed at recording any changes in the Volunteer’s symptoms in terms of frequency, severity of attacks and reliance on medication.

The majority of 24 volunteers had been suffering from Asthma over 5 years, most for over 15 years.  The results were very positive.  

  • 83% reported a reduction in the frequency of their asthma attacks

  • 75% reported a reduction in the severity of their attacks

  • 75% reported using less medication than before the Bowen Research project. 

Of the 24 volunteers who completed the program, 22 reported that secondary health concerns had also improved, including back, neck and shoulder problems; knee and joint problems; headaches and migraines; hay fever; irritable bowel syndrome and digestion; circulation; insomnia; anxiety, stress, depression and energy level improvement.

The outcomes of the study are highly encouraging, as indicated by the unanimous recommendation from every Volunteer to suggest the Bowen Therapy to other individuals with Asthma. Unlike treating a particular ailment in isolation, Bowen Therapy influences the individual’s integrated biodynamic system. Since Asthma can be triggered by a multitude of factors such as emotional distress, stress levels, exercise, food, and environmental allergens, it is crucial to consider a holistic therapy like Bowen as a viable alternative for enhancing the well-being of Asthma patients.


Bowen Therapy Clients with Asthma


Girl, 2 years old, 4 Bowen Therapy treatment. At her first treatment she was very wheezy and had been prescribed steroids, which her mother was reluctant to use. Both parents smoke. The wheezing reduced after the first treatment and has now disappeared, though there was a period of mucus being produced. Her breathing has improved after 4 treatments, so much so that the school have commented on it. The steroids were discontinued before the first treatment. It is very difficult to treat a two-year-old child who is sitting and squirming on her mother's knees. However, it seemed to work well despite those difficulties. Normally, the child has had asthma attacks every two weeks or so during the winter. She has had none for over two months now. Her mother wrote: "My 2.5 year old daughter has suffered from asthma and also an over-production of mucus from birth. She has Ventolin and also Becotide on occasions. In November 1999, her asthma worsened and the GP advised restarting steroids at a higher dose. She took a severe reaction to steroids so we stopped them immediately. That week she received her first Bowen and has had treatment once or twice a month since. She has not needed any medication since; she has a very slight period of wheezing occasionally which is managed with essential oils. It has been a remarkable improvement, particularly as she is a lively two year old who doesn't always stay still for the treatments." Signed BC - Feb 2000

Boy, 6 years old, 1 Bowen Therapy treatment.  Jacobs' asthma was worsening and his mother did not tell him that his visit to a Bowen therapist was connected to his breathing problems. As he is normally quite a stubborn little boy and wary of anything new, his mother was surprised when he accepted the treatment and did as he was told. The next evening, when she reminded him to take his usual dose from his inhaler, he announced: "I don't need my puffer any more". He then enjoyed a summer free of asthma, including hour-long football practices with his brother, and a mountain-biking holiday.

Girl, 8 years old, 3 Bowen Therapy treatments. Suffers with asthma and chest infections. She was small for her age and had a poor appetite. She had 3 inhalers: 5 puffs of one twice a day; 3 of another twice a day and the last one every 4 hours. Distressed with the amount of medication Fiona was taking, her mother was looking for an alternative and discovered The Bowen Therapy. After one treatment, Fiona became full of life, energetic, hungry and didn't need the last 4 hourly inhaler. At the end of treatment 3, she was off all inhalers, had grown, was still full of life and hungry. At a routine check-up with the GP, just after Bowen treatment 3, he immediately picked up the difference. The bright, alert look in her eyes, weight and height gain, clear, good, strong breathing. He was so pleased he wanted Bowen information to give to other patients.

Boy (teenager), 2 Bowen Therapy treatments.  A teenager, Kirk had had asthma, a constant backache and severe 'morning motivational' problems for years. He often had problems getting to sleep, but after a 6.30 p.m. treatment he fell sound asleep till next morning. After two sessions he complained of little result, but carried on. After the third treatment, he drank a lot of water and has not looked back. His backache and asthma are gone and, amazingly, for the first time in his life he is experiencing a sustained motivation to get up and going in the mornings

Girl, 17 years old, 1 Bowen Emergency treatment. Junior Basketball Team Member, Katey, was involved with the multistage fitness test used to analyze an athlete's aerobic performance. A standard is expected at this level and the peer pressure to achieve the necessary grade is immense. Katey was struggling for breath soon into the test causing some concern early on. Determination kept her going until she had to stop because she could not gain a breath at all and had commenced a panic attack, which complicated the situation. Katey was removed from the concerned crowd and the Bowen emergency asthma move carried out. Immediately a normal breathing pattern resumed and after 30 minutes Katey carried on training with no further symptoms.
