I am a Reiki Master based in Ellesmere Port in Cheshire. When I read the story of the man who founded Reiki in 1922, I had to learn more about this new healing concept.

Mr Mikao Usu was a Japanese Buddhist monk who found and brought this healing concept to many people.

He learned lessons, and it was his mission to help others before on his path of enlightenment. He was given the essence of the healing gift that is now renowned all over the world.

It was he who attuned Mrs. Hawayo Takat, who in turn decided the healing gift should be made accessible to everyone.

Mrs. Hawayo Takati decided to attune more individuals of the same mind as Reiki Masters before Reiki healing was brought from Japan to the West in 1937.

Mrs Hawayo Takata continued to teach her beloved Reiki healing until her passing in 1980. This legacy of this wonderful gift lives on and has now reached many parts of the western world taking their rightful place with other healing therapies.

I made up my mind to read as much as I could about Reiki, healing is part of my makeup being a sensitive medium. The next step was to find a reputable Reiki healer (master).

Now for me as a Reiki Master myself, seeing the results that a Japanese Buddhist found many years ago is quite humbling.

However much a person hears about Reiki healing and its success, I use it in many ways, but it can not be compared with my gift as a medium.

I realise I am able to direct a powerful energy thanks to this healing energy which flows through my hands.

The end result for many people is a change or a different attitude to life in general when their bodies work its own magic by taking this energy and distributing it to the parts that are tired or out of balance.

In answer to the most popular question asked of me about Reiki healing, a Reiki practitioner will lay his or her hands on or just over a person’s body, where the energy points in the body are based. The recipient can at times feel a slight heat or coolness which they find relaxing.
