Welcome to The Ayur Chikitsa

Reiki & Energy Healing

Reiki & Energy Healing

A premium, deeply restful energy practice that brings together Japanese Reiki and the Ayurvedic understanding of Prana — the subtle life energy that moves through us all. Offered as a single signature session, or as a guided 7, 11 or 21-day programme.

Our signature method

Prana-Ki 360™

A 360° journey through Body • Breath • Energy • Mind • Awareness • Spirit

A figure seated in Sukhasana viewed from behind, the whole body luminous, seven chakra centres aligned along the spine and five layers of light expanding outward into the universe

From Within to Beyond

The body becomes the medium.
Awareness expands through the layers of our being and outward into the wider universe.

Five Layers · Seven Centres · One Whole You

Chakra and Kosha imagery represents traditional yogic and spiritual concepts and is presented symbolically rather than anatomically or scientifically.

BODY • MIND • ENERGY • SPIRIT

Understanding Prana-Ki 360™

Every session is quiet, fully clothed and led at your pace. Nothing is forced, nothing is diagnosed — you simply rest while the practitioner works gently with your energy field.

Ki comes from the Japanese Reiki tradition. Prana comes from the Indian Yogic and Ayurvedic traditions. They arise from distinct lineages, each with its own language, history and practices.

Prana-Ki 360™ does not claim they are the same energy, or that either has been scientifically proven. It simply brings complementary practices inspired by both traditions together within the Ayur Chikitsa whole-person wellbeing philosophy.

The 360 refers to the whole person. Rather than working on one area in isolation, each session moves through body, breath, energy, mind, awareness and inner connection — so you always know where you are and what comes next.

Five Koshas

Five Layers of Being

Traditional Yogic and Ayurvedic thought describes the person as five layers, or Koshas. The Prana-Ki 360™ Method moves gently through all five rather than staying at the surface.

Layer One

Annamaya

Body

Physical awareness, nourishment, rest and daily rhythm.

Layer Two

Pranamaya

Breath & Energy

Breath, vitality and energetic awareness.

Layer Three

Manomaya

Mind & Emotion

Thoughts, emotions and inner experience.

Layer Four

Vijnanamaya

Awareness

Reflection, discernment, intuition and inner clarity.

Layer Five

Anandamaya

Inner Connection

Stillness, meaning and spiritual wellbeing.

Seven Centres

Seven Centres of Awareness

Seven traditional centres of awareness, described symbolically as themes for reflection and wellbeing rather than as anatomical or medical structures.

The six stages

Arrive → Breathe → Receive → Reflect → Integrate → Live

Every session — single or within a programme — follows the same six stages, so you always know where you are.

  1. 01

    Arrive

    Become aware of how you are arriving today.

  2. 02

    Breathe

    Pause with a gentle grounding, meditation or breath-awareness practice.

  3. 03

    Receive

    Enter a quiet period of Reiki and stillness.

  4. 04

    Reflect

    Notice your personal experience without judgement.

  5. 05

    Integrate

    Take away a simple personalised practice.

  6. 06

    Live

    Carry that awareness into everyday life.

Reiki doesn't end when the session ends.

Energy Compass

A simple way to notice your own energy

Before and after each session you place yourself on four plain-language axes. Over a programme it becomes a picture of your own pattern.

Vitality

DepletedEnergised

How much fuel do you feel you have today?

Calm

WiredSettled

How steady does your nervous system feel?

Clarity

FoggyClear

How easily can you think and decide?

Connection

AdriftGrounded

How connected do you feel to yourself and to meaning?

The Energy Compass is a personal reflection tool for your own awareness. It is not a health assessment and does not measure or indicate any medical condition.

The flagship journey

21-Day Chakra Healing & Reiki Journey

Three cycles: Awareness, Balance and Embodiment. The 21-day journey runs the full arc; the 11-day journey covers Awareness and Balance; the 7-day reset focuses entirely on Awareness.

Days 1–7

Awareness — Listen

Daily energy sessions and a very short evening practice. The aim of the first week is simply to notice and to let the system down-shift.

Days 8–14

Balance — Reconnect

Sessions continue with more emphasis on breath and rhythm. Sleep and daily routine are reviewed at the mid-point check-in.

Days 15–21

Embodiment — Live

The final week focuses on integration — carrying the practice into ordinary life so it survives beyond the programme.

Your guided journal

One prompt a day, nothing more

Every programme includes a guided journal. Each day has one short prompt, an Energy Compass check-in and space for anything you noticed. You can keep it on paper using the printable pages we provide, or simply note it on your phone. It stays yours — we only see what you choose to share at your check-ins.

  • Where in the body did today's rest land first?
  • What did you say yes to today that cost you energy?
  • Which part of the day felt most like yourself?
  • What is one thing you can put down before tomorrow?
