Body Talk - 15th May

Tonight's show featured Alan Gee, Reiki Master. He explained to us that Reiki is a form of healing, using the life force that is within and around us. There are many names for this life force, Reiki being just one. You may also know it as prana or chi, to name but a few. This system of healing has been used by many cultures for thousands of years, but a Japanese doctor developed this particular form of healing which has become popular today.

Alan told us how it helped him to cope with ME, although it didn't cure it, his quality of life has improved considerably as a result. Having investigated many other forms of self help, including nutrition and homeopathy, he found that Reiki was the real answer, which has enabled him to help many other people with this debilitating condition. Alan has also gone on to help people with a wide variety of physical and emotional conditions, ranging from back problems to depression. The key to it's success is the ability to relax. When the body is relaxed it's own healing processes can function much better.

He explained that the process of reiki is difficult to describe, a bit like trying to explain the taste of an exotic fruit to someone. You have to try it to understand it.

If you are keen to know more, Alan and his partner Bev Cohen run Reiki workshops in the Brentwood and Chelmsford area. You can visit them at their crystal stall at The Meadows Shopping Centre from 21st to 27th May. If you have any questions or would like to contact them direct, email me at PhoenixFM.
