Reiki Practitioner | Usui System of Natural Healing

Reiki Practitioner | Usui System of Natural Healing

Eddie has been practising Reiki and exploring energy-based practices for over 10 years. He is a qualified Reiki practitioner in the Usui System of Natural Healing, with an approach that combines traditional Reiki practice with a deep understanding of the physical body.

Intentional Reiki practice can produce noticeable shifts in a person's state, from deep relaxation and emotional release, to changes in balance and energy flow, connection and physical wellbeing. Rather than approaching every person in the same way, Eddie works intuitively and responsively. His experience in both physical and energy-based practices allows him to consider the person as a whole, while providing a calm, supportive environment in which to rest, reconnect and simply allow the session to unfold.

His understanding of the physical body that he brings to the practice comes from his experience in sports massage, movement and biomechanics, as well as coaching within high-level sport. This knowledge of human physiology, movement and physical performance allows him to take an integrated approach to his energy work, recognising the close relationship between our physical state, nervous system, emotions and overall sense of wellbeing.

He also draws inspiration from developments in fields including neuroscience and quantum physics and his practice is informed by the understanding that our internal state is not separate from our physical experience. The way we direct our attention, regulate our emotional state and interact energetically with the world around us can have a meaningful influence on how we feel and function. 

What to expect from a Reiki session

Your session begins with a short conversation about how you are feeling and anything you would particularly like to focus on. You don't need to have experienced Reiki before and there is no pressure to arrive with a specific problem or intention.

You will remain fully clothed and will lie comfortably on a treatment table. Eddie will then work through a series of positions around the body, either placing his hands gently on the parts of the body or holding them a short distance above the body. 

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, heaviness or lightness, changes in your breathing, emotional shifts or a feeling of deep relaxation. Equally, you may simply feel calm and rested. There is no particular sensation that you are expected to experience, it is unique to the individual.

Afterwards, there is time to gently come around and, if you wish, discuss anything you experienced during the treatment.
