Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach

Through my work at The Joshua Tree, a support centre for children with cancer, I know without doubt how much Reiki helps them through treatment dxx

This time last week, I was in Matlock, nearing the end of an incredible three-day Reiki retreat with internationally renowned Reiki Master/Teacher, Frans Stiene.

It was a mind-blowing experience, and I hope that as I return to my work at Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, that I do justice to all that Frans was able to teach us during our time with him.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit. It’s based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all, affecting both our physical and emotional health. During Reiki sessions, practitioners like me use hands-on techniques to transfer energy to a client, promoting healing and balance.

There were numerous inspiring insights that Frans shared throughout the weekend, but one in particular struck me, so I wrote it down. He said:

If you want to know what your past looked like, look at what’s happening today. And if you want to know what your future looks like, look at what’s happening today. What are you watering today?

As Frans explains, you get what you water today: so, if you water apple seeds, you’ll get an apple tree. If you water worry, you’ll get more worry. If you water anger and fear, you’ll get more anger and fear…

So be aware of what you’re watering today, because you’ll get more of the same.

Reiki is all about learning to live today without any worry, or anger or fear. It’s about being grateful for all that you do have, not stressing about what you don’t have. It’s about being kind to yourself, and others, and it’s about being true to who you really are.

By allowing Reiki into your life, you really can start to live the kind of life you long for, not sometime in the future. But right now. Today.

Last weekend at Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach was devoted to teaching, as I introduced four new people to Reiki I on Saturday, then went on to help another four of my students take the next step in the Reiki journey by attuning them to Reiki II on Sunday.

Now, I’ve known for over 17 years about the truly awesome power of Reiki: it’s not only a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating process, but it promotes physical and emotional healing, too. So, it’s always such an honour to pass on the knowledge that I’ve built up over the years, and to watch as Reiki newbies start out on their own journey of discovery.

In this week’s Blog, I explain how our ancestors often used and relied on their own abilities and instincts to heal, but these basic skills have been forgotten and are rarely used today. Unless you turn to Reiki to help you rediscover them.

By practising the discipline of Reiki, you can regain your natural abilities to heal yourself and others, together with the knowledge you require to lead a happier, more fulfilling life.

The skills and techniques associated with Reiki are simple and easy to learn. All you need is the desire and the discipline to attune yourself to the energy, and its life changing properties.
If you feel this is something you’d like to learn for yourself, you can read more about it on my website, and sign up for my next set of classes on April 18/19. https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/about-2

Do you feel blocked, or stuck? Then may I suggest that you allow deeply relaxing Reiki healing to balance your chakras! If you’ve ever had a healing treatment with me at Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, you’ll know that afterwards I usually have something to say about your chakras, because they tell us so many things about the state of your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

If you’re new to the word, chakras are simply energy centres that run down the middle of the body. We all have seven chakras, and it's easy for them to become imbalanced, or blocked, which in turns leads to physical and/or emotional strain and problems.
But that’s where Reiki comes into play.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique, which focuses on channelling energy to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate healing.

By using specific hand placements and intention, Reiki practitioners like me can cleanse and balance each of your seven chakras, thereby helping energy flow freely throughout your body.

There really isn’t anything that Reiki can’t help you to heal. And it ultimately all comes down to your chakras, because if your life is out of balance, then so are your chakras.

Do you need Reiki every week? I hear this question a lot, and in this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, I attempt to answer it.

Every time a new client comes to The Cabin for their first full Reiki Treatment, they’re often truly blown away by the experience and want to further explore the endless possibilities of Reiki.

And the truth is, you can never have too much Reiki.

As someone who’s been practising this ancient healing technique for over 16 years, I give myself a Reiki Treatment most days.
For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit. It’s based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all, affecting both our physical and emotional health. During Reiki sessions, practitioners like me use hands-on techniques to transfer energy to a client, promoting healing and balance.

Although it’s impossible to tell at the outset, within days of your first Reiki Treatment you’ll soon know whether you need more healing. To read more about how you’ll know, just head over to read my full Blog: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/blog

If you’ve ever had healing Reiki from me, and you requested quiet, soothing music to play in the background while I carried out your treatment, then you might have noticed that I always conclude all of my sessions with the same song - Let It Be.

And there’s a very real reason why I do this.

Because this song, Let It Be, is all about the healing power of acceptance. And in this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, I explain further about why acceptance of what’s happening right now is vitally important, because acceptance encourages the healing process, which is supported by Reiki.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit.

After lots of new subscribers to my Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach website, I thought it might be a good idea to try and help anyone new to Reiki to understand exactly what this therapy is, what it is not, and how can it help you heal.

Well, in a nutshell, Reiki is an ancient healing technique. Although its origins date back many thousands of years, it was just over 100 years ago that it was rediscovered by a Japanese man, named Mikao Usui.

Reiki (pronounced: ray-key) is a Japanese word, which means Universal Life Force Energy. And it’s this ‘Ki’ energy that Reiki practitioners like me utilise, to help people like you, heal.

You see, Usui discovered that Ki energy can be manipulated to help enhance healing of all types – physical, emotional and mental. So, whatever you’re dealing with, whether it be stress, anxiety, physical pain, cancer, fertility issues…and everything in between, Reiki offers a way through the dark times.

In this week’s Blog, I explain more about what happens during a Reiki Treatment, and how you’ll know if Reiki is right for you. You can read it by clicking here: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/blog

I think The Cabin looks so cosy in the snow, and I can reassure everyone that although it might be freezing outside, it really is toasty inside my Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach snug.

This week is my first time reopening The Cabin since before Christmas, and although I’ve loved the break with family and friends, I’m ready to return to Reiki. Funnily enough, last week I had a huge rush of new subscribers to my website – so big in fact, that I thought at first the IT had gone crazy or the system had been hacked. But I was wrong!

Every single new subscriber was genuine and – I’m willing to bet – they also all had something in common: they were all looking for answers to whatever challenges life was throwing at them right now, curious as to whether Reiki might have something to offer them.

Well, I can honestly say, hand on heart, that Reiki always offers an answer, to whatever it is that’s consuming your world right now.

As an ‘alternative’ therapy, Reiki is gentle, completely natural, and completely safe. It’s an ancient Japanese healing technique that’s grown massively in popularity in recent years. Personally, I’ve been working with Reiki’s wonderful healing power for over 16 years, and I never cease to be amazed by what it can do.

But not every new subscriber books a treatment in The Cabin straight away – and in this week’s Blog I explain why that is absolutely fine with me. You see, it’s all about nudges…

WELCOME ABOARD, GENTLEMEN: THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF MY PATIENTS HAS CHANGED THIS YEAR

Over the years different surveys have consistently shown that women are more likely to seek out complementary therapists - and healers. I wouldn’t have disagreed with this but, for whatever reason, the tide has started to turn this year.

For the first time in almost 50 years of working as a healer, I now have an equal balance of male and female patients. I see eight patients a day and there are times when all are men. I treat more men with prostate cancer than women with breast cancer as male awareness of the disease has thankfully increased.

I’ve also noticed that a rising number of young people are seeking my help. These patients are often between their early 20s and mid-30s and many are surprisingly knowledgeable about different complementary therapies.

Observationally, men are much more involved in the physical minutiae of their medical treatment. It’s not unusual that they store everything on a laptop which is often brought into my healing room - blood counts, tumour markers, treatment, etc. are all recorded and frequently made into spreadsheets or graphs! The ladies with whom I work generally have a more holistic view and will talk more about their emotional wellbeing but I guess that’s a reflection of the male/female approach.

After decades involved in healing work I’m really pleased to see this sea of change although I can’t say what has led to it. But at least it cannot be said anymore that “it’s only women who go to healers”!

I read about an amazing study earlier recently, which involved over 1,700 participants, and which tracked the difference just 10-minutes of Reiki made on their stress and pain reduction.

In this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, I reveal that the headline result was that the vast majority of participants reported a significant change in their stress level (72.62% reduction overall) and pain (63.34% reduction overall), following just ONE single 10-minute Reiki Treatment.

Wow. How amazing is that!

To be honest, there aren’t that many Reiki trials and studies that are carried out – certainly not of this scale – so when one finally does hit the headlines, we Reiki peeps are always delighted when the statistics back up what we already know to be true in practice – that Reiki works!

This most recent study, which is part of a broader research study on stress, was conducted in Chicago, USA, between September 2022 and December 2024. The Reiki sessions were given to people working in police and fire departments, offices, university campuses and a juvenile detention centre.

The study’s authors note that: “As the practice of Reiki had become more popular, so has interest in exploring its value as an intervention.”

It also reports that Reiki is being used more and more in hospitals – and that’s not something that only happens in America, because Reiki is making its mark in our NHS, too. Again, all brilliant news.

Confirming that Reiki is a safe and gentle healing technique, that can be learned by anyone, the study also noted that while Reiki is spiritual in nature, in the West most people mainly view it as a hands-on healing technique.

Personally, I’ve been working with Reiki’s gentle healing power for over 16 years, and I never cease to be amazed by what it can do.
By channelling energy to specific parts of your body, Reiki therapists like me help to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate physical and emotional healing. We get your energy flowing freely again, and when your energy body is balanced, so is your life!
