Why this treatment?
I know what you’re thinking, because I thought it, too. You’re thinking that energy healing is a bit pansy – airy fairy, touchy feely. You’re wondering how you can quantify the real benefit of an energy healing session and, subsequently, how you can justify spending money on it. But in the same way that a haircut is only as good as the hairdresser, and an artist can draw life-like people whereas the rest of us can only draw stick men, so do energy healers differ. You get those who were born to heal and those who would really like to. And the gap between the two is vast.

Seda Goksel, 36, has been aware of energy since she was very young, although she didn’t always know what to do with it. She says, “I’ve always been very intuitive and was doing energy healing informally from a young age. But then I decided I wanted to learn as much as I could and channel it in a proper way, so I started training in all the different modalities. Now I am qualified in reiki, hypnotherapy, theta healing, chi qong, aura reading and chakra cleansing, amongst other things.”

So, what can it heal? Emotional and mental hurt, energy imbalance, stress, confusion, anxiety and more. It can also help with physical illnesses. Seda says, “When we are sick, our bodies are trying to tell us that we need rest. Reiki doesn’t heal our bodies, but its effects will help speed up the process.”

What’s it all about?
Many of the ancient cultures, such as Chinese, Japanese and Indian, have been healing with energy for thousands of years. Although they all vary slightly, the essence is still the same: every living thing has a life force or energy flowing through it and the balance of this energy is imperative for health and happiness. In a reiki session, the practitioner feels your energy fields to identify any blockages and then channels positive energy from the universe into your body. Seda says, “Just think of me as a pipe hanging above you, and energy is coming into me from a higher source, flowing through me to my clients.”
