Frequently Asked Questions

What is energy healing and where does it come from?

Both Reiki and Sekhem are ancient energy healing modalities that are thousands of years old. They are both channelled through the practitioners upper chakras and the energyy is then directed through the practitioners hands. The practitioner is specially trained in these modalities and initiated into these ancient lineages. The energy that is channelled is Universal Life Force Energy, otherwise known as Prana, Chi and Qi. It's the same energy that exists everywhere, permeating all existences as the life force for all living things.

How is an energy healing treatment given?

The treatment starts with a brief consultation to confirm medical history and the client's intention for the session. During a Reiki and Sekhem healing treatment, the client remains fully clothed. The practitioner then channels the energy and lays their hands on the client's 9 main chakra points (energetic centres) across their body, starting at the feet, and finishing the treatment at the top of the head.

Do I have to be a certain religion to receive energy healing?

Energy healing is non-religious and is not tied to any belief system or religious affiliations, so it doesn't matter what faith you are or what name you give to your Creator. Energy healing is practised with non-judgemental compassion and people from all faiths and backgrounds are welcome.
