Reiki at Marlborough House: A Closer Look at the Benefits

We’re excited to welcome our newest practitioner, Yvonne Bottarelli, to Marlborough House. To mark her arrival, we’re diving into what Reiki is, how it works, and why it’s worth considering—especially if you’re feeling stressed, sleep-deprived, or simply curious.


What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves gently placing or hovering hands above the body. The goal? To balance the body’s energy and support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Based on the idea that a universal life force flows through all living things, Reiki aims to channel this energy through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient. Though rooted in Eastern traditions, Reiki is now practised globally—in wellness clinics, private practices, and even hospitals.


The Benefits of Reiki

1. Reduces Stress and Promotes Deep Relaxation Reiki is best known for its calming effects. In a world where stress is the norm, Reiki offers a space to slow down and let go. Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed after a session. This may be due to a combination of the gentle touch, the quiet setting, and the practitioner’s focused presence—all of which support the body’s natural relaxation response.

2. Improves Sleep Quality If you struggle with sleep, Reiki may help. The deep sense of peace it creates can promote better sleep by calming the nervous system and reducing mental clutter. Many people report improved sleep quality after regular sessions.

3. Enhances Self-Awareness Reiki encourages you to tune into your emotional and physical state. Over time, this can help you identify patterns—like where you hold tension or which thoughts trigger stress. Increased self-awareness is a powerful tool for managing mental and emotional health.

4. Strengthens the Mind-Body Connection Even if you’re not spiritually inclined, Reiki can be a valuable way to reconnect with your body. It supports mindfulness, helping you notice how emotions manifest physically. This connection can be key in managing both stress and chronic health issues.


Is Reiki Right for You?

Whether you’re spiritually curious or simply looking for new ways to support your well-being, Reiki offers a gentle, holistic approach. It’s a great complement to a healthy lifestyle, adding a layer of relaxation, reflection, and self-care.
