“Teaching Reiki is not just about teaching students the art of Reiki healing, but equally about empowering the individual student to believe in themselves, their ability to think about Reiki logically, and their ability to make positive changes in and around themselves.” Denise Allen, Caring Palms
What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese method of hands-on healing that gently encourages the body back to an optimal balance. Originating at the turn of the 20th century, Reiki energy is given when a trained practitioner places their hands on or above the energy centres on the client’s body. The practitioner transfers the healing Reiki energy to the recipient who may feel a gentle warmth, coolness, or a wave of relaxation.

Reiki is a holistic treatment which treats both the cause and the symptoms of illness, benefiting the body, emotions, mind and spirit. During the treatment most people experience a deep state of relaxation and wellbeing with many reporting miraculous results.

How does Reiki work?

Reiki treatment is based on the concept that a life force, or biofield, flows through and around each of us. When our life force is strong and vibrant, we feel well, relaxed and at peace. But when it is disrupted, our ability to cope with physical and mental challenges is reduced.

When we receive Reiki or give it to ourselves, the body is given an additional source of energy to rebalance and replenish its life force or biofield, which strengthens its ability to heal and increases resistance to stress.

Do I need to be religious or spiritual to benefit from Reiki?

Reiki is not a religion, nor do you need to be any particular religion to benefit from Reiki. Some people do find that Reiki is a spiritual experience; many simply enjoy the relaxing and healing benefits of Reiki without any spiritual expectations.

 

Can Reiki help in stress management?

Yes, Reiki is a wonderful tool for stress management. There are a number of studies that have proven that Reiki can significantly reduce blood pressure and anxiety levels. Reiki sessions are incredibly relaxing and calming and are ideal for nurturing and healing both physically and emotionally.

How many sessions will I need?

This is very dependent upon the individual and their needs. It is recommended that when you first receive Reiki, you follow up with another two sessions within a couple of weeks.

When you receive Reiki, your body is given a boost of energy which increases its ability to heal at a faster rate and to restore and maintain a natural balance. Reiki also increases the body’s vibratory rate to match that of the Reiki energy which is the vibration of health and balance…

By receiving several initial Reiki treatments within a short period, the body is better able to utilize this healing energy and regain its natural balance. From there, you can arrange to have sessions weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or whenever you feel the need for a ‘top up’.

How long does a Reiki session take?

Expect your Reiki session to take an hour. Clients will also have the opportunity to discuss their experience and ask questions after each session.

What is Karuna Reiki?

Karuna Reiki® can best be described as the ‘next step’ in Reiki. As a more intensive form of Reiki it provides the practtitioner with stronger, more flexible healing tools.  it is the natural next level training progression for students who have been a Usui Reiki MASTER for at least one year.

Denise, thank you so much for a special few days learning Holy Fire Karuna Reiki. I felt welcome from the first day of arrival through to completion. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated your relaxed and uncomplicated teaching style; all our questions were answered. Your love and belief of Reiki shone through and I left feeling confident and excited for what lay ahead for me with Karuna Reiki.

 Denise is a great, warm teacher with the ability to put everyone at ease while at the same time remaining very professional. The night after my Reiki II training and attunement I felt like I had the best sleep of my entire life, it felt like I healed during my sleep and after my training felt a new sense of being completely at peace. I am now using Reiki on clients in my natural health business, family and friends.  I would highly recommend Denise as a teacher to anyone.

“I have found Reiki wonderful. The heat/energy is so soothing and healing. I have ulcerative colitis and Reiki has helped my condition considerably. I feel healthier, happier, freer, more energetic and more creative. I would thoroughly recommend Denise to anyone wanting to receive some amazing energy.”

“After not using my Reiki knowledge for many years, and knowing that now was the time to start practicing, I needed help to refresh my skills and update my technique. Denise was the ideal teacher. She tailored her teaching specifically to my requirements in a comprehensive and thoroughly professional manner. My confidence is restored and I am now using my Reiki skills with friends, family and acquaintances. Many thanks Denise for your help and support in helping me to return to the Reiki journey.”
