Reiki & Energy Healing
A quiet, fully clothed session of up to 30 minutes of gentle energy work through the Prana-Ki 360™ Method — Body, Mind, Energy and Spirit.
What is a Reiki & Energy Healing session?
Reiki is a traditional Japanese practice of gentle, still hand positions held lightly on or just above the body. You remain fully clothed and simply rest.
At The Ayur Chikitsa it is delivered through the Prana-Ki 360™ Method, which brings the Ayurvedic understanding of Prana together with Japanese Ki and moves through all five Koshas.
Most people describe it as deep warmth and a slow letting-go; some fall asleep entirely.
If oil massage feels like too much, or you simply want stillness rather than technique, this is the quietest treatment we offer.

Questions
Frequently asked
What actually happens in a Reiki session?
You lie clothed on a heated couch under a blanket. The practitioner places hands lightly on, or just above, a sequence of positions and holds each one still. Most people simply rest; some fall asleep.
Is Reiki a religion or a belief system?
No. It originated in Japan as a practice of gentle hands-on relaxation. You do not need to believe anything in particular, and nothing is asked of you beyond resting.
Will you diagnose or treat anything?
No. Reiki and energy healing are complementary relaxation and wellbeing practices. They are not medical care and are never a substitute for advice from your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.
How do the multi-day programmes work?
You choose a start date and a preferred time of day. We then hold that window for you each day of the programme and confirm the full schedule with you by email before it begins.
What if I miss a day of a programme?
Life happens. Missed days are rescheduled where the diary allows, within the overall programme window agreed with you.
Can I combine Reiki with an Ayurvedic treatment?
Yes. Many people pair a Reiki session with Shiro Abhyanga or Shirodhara. Tell us at booking and we will plan the sequence and timings together.
