Reiki
Many kinds of Reiki have developed since the first Reiki teachings came to the west from Japan in 1937. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words—Rei meaning “higher power” and Ki meaning "life force energy", so Reiki translates to “spiritually guided life force energy”. Dr Mikao Usui founded Usui Reiki Ryoho in Tokyo in 1922 and many new Reiki disciplines have emerged since then.
Reiki is a form of energy work that can help balance your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Reiki techniques are believed to enhance overall physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. There is nothing you must believe in order to benefit from Reiki. Reiki is a simple, natural and safe form of energy healing, which aims to treat the whole person. It works in conjunction with all other medical and therapeutic techniques. Reiki is not a cure and should not be used in place of conventional healthcare.
All Reiki sessions will begin and end with light meditation and/or breathwork. Meditation is a practice that involves focusing the mind to achieve mental clarity and emotional stability. Combined with breathwork, this is a beautiful, calming exercise to create calmness in the body, reduce stress, reduce anxiety and improve mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing ready for healing.

Reiki at Soul Focus
Usui Reiki -Traditional Japanese Reiki
This is the most commonly used Reiki technique. This form of Reiki uses specific hand positions* to balance and align energy within the body. Practitioners use symbols to enhance the flow of energy and advance the healing process.
Angelic Reiki
This is a form of Reiki that connects with the concept of Spiritual/Angelic realms to channel additional healing energies. There are no set hand positions, practitioners work along energy centres and follow their intuition for healing. This is a gentle yet powerful form of Reiki increases your vibration and promotes profound healing.
Crystal Reiki
Crystal Reiki integrates the principles of Usui Reiki with the additional vibrational energy of crystals. Crystals amplify the flow of energy enhancing healing and can also be used to target specific issues. Crystals are placed on or around the body combining their natural energy frequencies with universal energy. Perfect for those who are drawn to the metaphysical properties of crystals.
Chakra Reiki
Chakra Reiki is an energy healing technique that balances the 7 chakras. The goal is to harmonise all the chakras by removing blockages/stagnant energies, restoring natural balance, helping the body to regain its natural ability to heal improving physical, emotional and spiritual health. Often a pendulum is used to determine where blockages may be and hand positions* will be in harmony with the chakra positions most in need of Reiki. Reiki energy will still flow to the other chakras to ensure healing energies go to everywhere they are needed. Chakra Reiki can also be combined with Crystal Reiki, by using specific chakra crystals to enhance energy flow.
Acupressure Reiki
Acupressure Reiki is a unique combination of traditional Japanese Reiki (Usui Reiki), Chinese and Indian traditional healing techniques and acupressure . Combining reiki and acupressure brings the benefits of both healing modalities together to balance energies and stimulate energy flow to alleviate pain, reduce stress and anxiety, reduce fatigue, improve blood pressure and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Sound Reiki
Sound reiki combines the energy healing of Reiki with the healing sound vibrations of various sound therapies such as chimes, tuning forks or singing bowls. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress and pain, and enhances overall health by using the healing properties of sound and vibration to enrich reiki healing, harmonising the body, mind and soul.
Holy Fire Reiki
Holy Fire Reiki offers a different connection to higher spiritual consciousness and is guided by Holy Fire energy. It is powerful yet gentle and provides deep healing. Holy Fire Reiki emphasises the use of Meditation and focuses on the release of past trauma and negative energy patterns. Holy Fire Reiki cleanses both bodily energy fields and the auric energy field. Holy Fire Reiki has no set hand positions*, the practitioner will concentrate energy where they feel it is needed.
Violet Flame Reiki
Violet Flame Reiki invokes the violet flame of spiritual transformation, often used to clear negative energies and promote personal growth.

Gold Reiki
Gold reiki is a powerful healing , modality which utilises the 'Gold Ray or beam' that causes a positive effect on the physical and emotional levels. It has a strong active vibration that transmutes lower energies to energies of happiness, joy, lightness, light, and more.

Distance Reiki
All forms of Reiki allow treatment to be sent over distances. Distance Reiki can take a number of forms. This will be discussed on an individual basis should Distance Reiki be considered appropriate.
We will support you to choose the best type of reiki for you based on your individual needs. We can also mix and match if it suits your needs.
Animal Reiki
Animals suffer from physical illnesses and health conditions, they get injuries and sometimes they require surgery. Aches and pains often emerge as animals age.
Animal Reiki* is a natural, calm therapy that promotes the animal's natural healing processes and can be given in their home environment or even distantly using Distant Reiki techniques. Animals often enjoy receiving Reiki, but it cannot be forced upon them. Animals will move away when they have had enough, particularly with hands on treatments. Hand positions will align with individual animal chakras to promote relaxation, improved feelings of wellbeing, reduced pain and to help an animal transition peacefully over the Rainbow Bridge
Reiki is not a cure and is not an alternative to conventional veterinary care. Reiki should be used as a complementary therapy to support an animals health and wellbeing.
*Every animal family will need to be assessed before treatment is agreed to and commenced.
Unfortunately Soul Focus is unable to offer hands on Reiki to animals with severe behavioural problems at this time. However, distance Reiki can be performed.
