Hands-on healing – a complementary therapy for injury, illness, stress and stress-related conditions.

  • ​Harnessing fundamental life-force energy through the healer’s hands to boost physical health and wellbeing.
  • ​Harmonising the body’s energy field to help the body heal itself.
  • Gently releasing stressful emotions to aid emotional, mental and physical healing and balance.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a method of hands on healing, developed in Japan during the early 1900s by Dr Mikao Usui. He passed his knowledge on to others, and in the 1970s a Japanese American lady – Mrs Hawayo Takata – brought Reiki to prominence in the West. Reiki is loosely translated as ‘universal energy’ which is transferred through the practitioner’s hands to the patient.

Practitioners are able to use their skills to help their clients to enter a deep state of relaxation, which allows the body to become aware of any ‘dis-ease’ and ultimately to heal itself.

Reiki is given either with the practitioner’s hands on or a few inches away from the client’s body.

The experience of Reiki is subjective, changeable, and sometimes very subtle. People often experience heat from the practitioner’s hands, but sometimes the practitioner’s hands feel refreshingly cool. Other common experiences are subtle pulsations near the practitioner’s hands or cascading waves of pulsations throughout the body.

Spiritual Healing is a safe, non-invasive and simple energy therapy that brings balance to the mind, body and soul. It stimulates the body’s own natural healing ability. The healer makes a connection with “universal” healing energy and then channels this energy to the person seeking healing, who may or may not be present. Many people carry around unhelpful energetic burdens which can be alleviated by healing. Often people seek healing when they have long-term mental and physical health conditions.

Spiritual healing can help with the following:

  • Spiritual growth and emotional clearing
  • Raising the vibrational frequency of the body
  • Creating deep relaxation and helping the body to release stress and tension
  • Increasing vitality
  • Supporting the immune system
  • Accelerating the body’s self-healing abilities
  • Aiding better sleep
  • Relieving acute and chronic pain in the body
  • Removing energetic blockages and bringing the body into balance and harmony
  • Assisting the body in cleansing itself from toxins
  • Helping to clear and balance the aura, the chakras and the meridians 

Meditation can help with a number of everyday problems. It does this by enabling us to focus our minds and to relax our bodies, thus allowing our bodies and minds to heal themselves.

The most common of all these problems, is, undoubtedly, stress. Long term stress can give rise to all manor of different ailments. Meditation allows us to stay calmer and helps heal the damage caused to our minds and bodies.

Whilst Meditation can seem to be quiet challenging for most people initially, with regular practise it becomes easier and more natural. Within a group environment the meditation session is overseen by an experienced group leader and any assistance required can be obtained on the spot, if any issues arise.

At The Centre, Rosie Holmes runs a weekly drop-in mindfulness-meditation practice session (Saturday morning, term-time only). This is an informal space for anyone who wishes to come and explore, sustain or begin meditation practice in community. Together we will explore this shared experience of being human together; with empathy, care and attention.

Rosie will briefly introduce a theme for the session, guide a simple meditation practice (20-25 minutes) and then offer a space for discussion, questions, reflections etc. The meditations offered each week will be rooted in buddhist vipassana mindfulness and secular mindfulness traditions.

An inclusive space welcoming folks of all ethnicities, classes, sexual orientations, ages, gender identities and abilities.

Donations welcome.

Please check the calendar to ensure the session is running (term time only)
