THE ENERGY REBOOT

WHAT Reiki is a simple, non-invasive form of alternative medicine offering an individual a chance to realign with the body’s natural energies. GOOD FOR Everyone, especially before or after a time of stress, extra exertion or emotional or physical exhaustion. WHAT’S INVOLVED Very little on the part of the patient – simply relax, lying down, in comfortable, loose clothing, and let the practitioner work at clearing and boosting the energy levels of the body’s seven chakras for approximately one hour. Afterwards, the practitioner will explain his or her findings and offer lifestyle and self-care advice. The treatment involves nothing more than the feel of hands on parts of the body (shoulders, head, feet, legs, arms) while the practitioner works like an energy conduit. THE RESULTS Reiki can bring calm and invigorate; it certainly heightens self-awareness and helps the individual recalibrate. THINGS TO REMEMBER This is a treatment where it’s essential that both parties develop good trust and rapport, and Ian Cunningham is a highly experienced reiki master with healing hands. THE DETAILS €110 for a 60-minute session from Edvard & Pink, 5th floor, Dundrum Town Centre, Dublin 14, edvardandpink.ie.
