Reiki is a holistic healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” can be broken down into two Japanese words: “rei,” which means universal, and “ki,” which means life force or energy.
Reiki practitioners believe that energy flows through all living things, and when this energy is blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to physical or emotional issues. Reiki aims to restore and balance this energy to promote healing and well-being.
Energy Healing:
Reiki is based on the belief that a life force energy flows through the body. Practitioners use their hands to channel and direct this energy to areas where it is needed.
Hands-On or Distant Healing:
Reiki can be administered in person, with the practitioner placing their hands on or near the recipient’s body, or it can be done remotely, where the practitioner sends healing energy to the recipient from a distance.
Holistic Approach:
Reiki is a holistic therapy that considers the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. It aims to address imbalances on all these levels.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction:
Reiki sessions are typically relaxing and can reduce stress and tension. The recipient often lies down or sits in a comfortable position during the treatment.
Non-Invasive:
Reiki is non-invasive, as the practitioner does not manipulate the body or use any tools or equipment. It is a gentle and safe practice.
Complementary Therapy:
Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments to promote relaxation and support the body’s natural healing processes.
During a Reiki session, a practitioner typically follows a set of hand positions on or near the recipient’s body, focusing on energy centres, or chakras, to clear blockages and balance the energy flow. Recipients may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during the session.
Reiki is widely practiced and has many proponents who find it helpful for relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. However, its scientific basis and mechanisms of action remain subjects of study and discussion.
Reiki sessions are 60 minutes long and cost £50 per session.

Unmasked was initially set up by three friends from Halifax, who battled and overcame personal mental ill health issues. They wanted to give something back! Their goal was simple – to Unmask the stigma surrounding mental ill health, nationwide, and get people talking.
Now, they’ve passed the baton to a new Board of Directors and an Executive Team who are building on their legacy and goals and who are moving forward to make Unmasked a force to be reckoned with in combatting poor mental health in our region.
Our services are accessible to everyone, whether you’re an individual having a rough time, or if you’re an employer looking to give something back and look after your employee’s mental health and well-being.
