Usui Reiki - A moment of stillness just for you
Sometimes we simply need somewhere to stop.
Somewhere quiet where we don't have to achieve anything, solve anything or be anything for anyone else.
Usui Reiki offers a gentle opportunity to slow down, become still and reconnect with yourself.
At The Blue Butterfly, Reiki is offered as a calm and supportive wellbeing experience, a chance to step away from the business of everyday life and allow yourself some time to rest.
What is Usui Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese practice that was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.
It is traditionally described as a practice involving the channeling of universal life energy, with the intention of supporting balance and wellbeing.
My own approach is gentle and intuitive. I create a quiet space where you can relax, settle your attention and notice what you experience for yourself.
You don't need to understand Reiki before you try it.
You don't need to be spiritual.
And you don't need to believe anything in particular.
You can simply come with an open mind and see how it feels for you
What happens in a Reiki session
Your session takes place in a calm, comfortable environment.
You remain fully clothed and can choose to lie down or sit, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.
Reiki may be offered with my hands gently placed on or just above the body, according to your comfort and preference.
There is no need to talk throughout the session.
Some people experience a sense of deep relaxation or stillness. Others may notice warmth, sensations, emotions or simply enjoy having time away from everyday distractions.
And sometimes, you may not notice anything particular at all.
There is no right or wrong experience.
My role isn't to tell you what you should feel. It's to create the space and allow you to experience the practice in your own way.
* Any complementary therapy does not replace medical intervention but will complement the Western Medical Approach.
Is Reiki for me - Time to pause
Life can be busy.
We spend so much of our time doing, thinking, organising and caring for other people that simply stopping can feel unfamiliar.
A Reiki session gives you permission to do exactly that.
Pause.
Breathe.
Be still.
Reconnect.
You don't have to arrive knowing what you need.
You don't have to have a particular reason for booking.
Sometimes taking an hour for yourself is reason enough.
Your Reiki session
£45 • 60 minutes
Your session includes time to settle in, talk about what you're looking for, experience Reiki and gently come back to your day afterwards.
Reiki can also form part of a personalised private session alongside other practices I offer, such as sound healing, meditation, breathwork, crystals or Reiki drumming.
If you're not sure which approach is right for you, that's completely okay.
We can talk about it together.
A little more about my approach
I've explored and practised Reiki for many years, alongside yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound, crystals and drumming.
My approach has been shaped not only by my training but by my own life experiences and the practices that have helped me find moments of calm, connection and stillness.
I don't see myself as someone who can heal another person.
I believe each of us has our own inner resources and capacity for change.
My role is to offer a welcoming space and a practice that may help you slow down enough to listen to yourself.
