What does Seichim – Reiki mean?

Seichim-Reiki is a profound healing therapy which incorporates a combination of four elemental healing energies. These energies are passed through an attuned practitioner via their hands onto the client in non invasive positions. The energies can help clear and cleanse congested, blocked or damaged meridians, chakras, or elemental channels which run throughout our bodies. These can become congested or damaged from illness, injury, from birth, emotional stress or the general wear and tear of everyday to day life.

Even though Seichim-Reiki has a spiritual basis, it is not a religion and you do not need to be spiritual or religious to have a treatment or attend a course.

Seichim- Reiki is a combination of the following:

Reiki (ray kee) a traditional Japanese hands on healing method & base energy form meaning: Universal Life Energy. It was developed in the 1900’s by Mikao Usui, it has been continually developed after Usui throughout the years and there are now many different varieties of reiki in the world today.

Reiki is an Earth element of Seichim that benefits mental, emotional & physical health.
Reiki energy is so profound that it can be & many practitioners do use this energy on its own during treatments.

Seichim (say keem) An ancient Egyptian healing art, discovered in the 1980s by Patrick Ziegler after a spiritual experience in the Great Pyramid. Seichim involves an additional three elemental energies as well as Reiki; the other three energies are the following:

  • Sophi-el (Water- emotional healing)
  • Angeliclight (Air & Spirit- mental healing)
  • Sakara (Fire- Transforms blockages & heals the physical body)


What do I wear?

Wear loose comfortable clothing that is none restricting. It is advisable that you bring or wear a long sleeved top to keep you warm as during the relaxation of the treatment your body temperature can drop similar to how it does in a sleep state.

What to expect during a treatment?

To help clients feel comfortable & de-stressed prior to the treatment, Gemma guides the clients into a relaxed & meditative state helping them to remove any anxieties & worries from the day, so they can sit back & enjoy the treatment completely!

During the treatment the energies are channelled via Gemma the attuned practitioner through to you the client. The treatment can be given by the practitioner placing their hands in non-invasive positions on or above the clients’ body.

A treatment can last up to an hour; you are fully clothed during the treatment and either lying down or sitting to receive the energies. Sechim-Reiki can also be added onto the end of a Tsuboki or Ear Candling, which takes an additional 15mins.

The healing energies are so gentle and pleasant that they are also safe to be given as a treatment to children, animals & plants. A Seichim- Reiki treatment can also be sent through time & distance, please contact me to discuss distant healing.

Seichim-Reiki complements & can be used alongside medical treatments and medicines. It is not used to replace conventional medicine.

After Care & Effects

It is important after a reiki therapy that you drink up to 2 pints of water, this flushes any toxins or blockages which may have been shifted during the treatment.
It’s important to let your body settle and realign itself after a therapy so take it easy the rest of the day and avoid strenuous activities.
Do not panic if you feel a little off, feel achey or have emotional outbursts for up to 3 days after the therapy, this is known as a detox effect and your body will be cleaning itself physically and emotionally of any blocks.

If you had the treatment when you already felt unwell or feel like you are about to be unwell the treatment can in some cases stimulate the illness out but speed up the healing process, so you may not have it for as long or have a milder version of the illness. Again do not panic it is a good sign your body and mind are clearing and see it not as a illness but a cleansing and keep hydrated during this time.

I am on medication can I still have a treatment?

Yes you can, reiki is non invasive and passes calming, gentle energies and is safe to have alongside medication/ creams & other therapies and does not interfere. It is advisable to get medical advice for any illness and ailment in conjunctions to any complimentary therapy and is your responsibility to always make your practitioner aware of them & medications.

Do I need to be spiritual or religious to have this treatment?

No you do not need to have any specific spiritual beliefs or specific religious followings to recieve reiki. It is a relaxing treatment and can be seen as a time out for yourself, a time to relax and time for you to regain clarity & focus. As the practitioner is connectng to you and your energy occasionally they may recieve information and advice to provide you with to help you help yourself within your healing or relaxation. Reiki also does not invade, intrude or alter any religions or beliefs which you may already be a follower of.
