Raphael has been practicing Reiki for more than 14 years . He has done his 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees in Reiki following the Usui technique and lineage. Reiki is a powerful but gentle way of restoring a person’s depleted energy and balancing natural energy within to promote healing , positive wellness , and wholeness . This safe and non-invasive therapeutic approach is received through the energy flowing through the hands of the practitioner . A treatment session lasts about one hour. It is usually carried out with the recipient remaining fully clothed laying on a therapy couch. However, treatment can also be given in a sitting position if the patient finds this more comfortable. The therapist gently places his or her hands in various positions, ultimately covering most of the body. Each position is held for up to 3 minutes. There is no pressure exerted, making Reiki an ideal treatment for the very young, elderly, pregnant women and those recovering from surgery. The whole body is treated, not just an isolated area. This enables the energy to go right to the source of the imbalance and not just to the manifesting symptom.
