💗 Jikiden Reiki 💗 Traditional Japanese hands-on healing that supports your body’s natural ability to restore balance, heal and regulate.

📍Based in Lower Higham, Kent

Reiki is often thought of as just relaxation, but it can support much more than that.

When we live with ongoing stress, the nervous system can stay stuck in fight-or-flight mode. This can affect sleep, emotional wellbeing, healing, energy levels and how we cope with life’s challenges.

By helping the body return towards homeostasis (its natural state of balance), clients often find Reiki supports:
✨ Stress, grief, anxiety and emotional overwhelm
✨ Burnout and nervous system dysregulation
✨ Supporting the body’s natural healing after injury or illness, as well as providing gentle support through long term illness
✨ Releasing stored emotional tension and trauma patterns
✨ Feeling “stuck” emotionally or psychologically
✨ Deep fatigue or feeling energetically depleted
✨ Supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes
✨ Deep rest and restoration

Your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs a little help, and that’s where I come in💞

Come see me at The Reiki Edit where I offer gentle hands-on treatment, in a private, peaceful space, where you can slow down, reset and receive the care and time you deserve.

Much love,

WHAT IS REIKI?

Did you know the word Reiki has existed in Japan for over a thousand years? 🌿✨

Long before it became a healing practice in the 1920s, “Reiki” was a beautiful word used to describe a mysterious, sacred atmosphere.

In fact, old Japanese texts often describe it as the pure, spiritual energy that fills a deep, untouched forest. 🌲

Reiki means mysterious or miraculous energy.

The original name for Reiki treatment is “Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryōhō”, which translates as “Usui Reiki Treatment Method for Improvement of Body and Mind.”

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique founded and developed by Mikao Usui, and it has been effective in helping with virtually every known illness, while always creating a beneficial effect.

Put simply, during a Reiki treatment, the practitioner receives Reiki energy from the Universe, which flows through their body and is then passed on to the recipient. In this way, the practitioner acts as a channel for this pure energy, helping to reactivate the recipient’s own natural healing process.

Reiki works with the whole person, including body, emotions, mind and spirit, and can create many beneficial effects, including deep relaxation and a feeling of peace, security and overall wellbeing.

It can be very effective in improving physical and psychological health.

Reiki can also be used alongside other medical or therapeutic techniques, helping to relieve side effects and support a quicker recovery.

One of the beautiful things about Reiki is how simple it is. It doesn’t depend on a person’s educational background, spiritual development or previous experience. Reiki is available to everyone.

Although Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. You don’t need to follow a particular belief system or have any spiritual beliefs to receive Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all. It will work whether you believe in it or not.

So, I’m curious… have you ever received Reiki?

If you have, what was your experience like?

And if you’ve never tried Reiki, what has stopped you?

Is there something you’ve heard about Reiki that has made you unsure, sceptical or simply curious but hesitant to give it a try

✨ Summer 2026 Competition Winner ✨

A beautiful treatment yesterday with my Summer 2026 competition winner Lucy Beckett who also happens to be a friend I’ve known for quite some time. 💜

She’s been meaning to come for a Reiki treatment for ages, but life has been busy and somehow she just hadn’t got around to it. So I was absolutely thrilled when her name came up in the random picker!

I love choosing my competition winners this way. I always feel that when I leave it to the universe to choose, the right person is sent to me at exactly the right time. And this time, I really feel that was the case. ✨

It was so lovely to finally give her the opportunity to experience her first traditional Japanese Jikiden Reiki treatment, and even better to hear how much she enjoyed it.

I love being able to gift these experiences to people who might really need a little time for themselves. 💜

I run a Reiki competition every season, so keep an eye on my Instagram and pages and make sure you enter when the next one comes around…

You never know — it could be you next! ✨

Very much looking forward to our Jikiden Reiki Regional Reijukai being held in Kent next month 💜

We are excited to announce that our next JRUKA Regional Reijukai & Share is to take place in Canterbury, Kent on Saturday 10th October 2026.

This event will be run by Shihans Helen Price and Leanne Walters, with help from Shihankaku’s Hayley Halls and Claudia Krogmann. It is open to all JRUKA members and non-members who have completed Jikiden Reiki Training.

Time: 10am - 5:30pm
Venue: Beerling Hall, Black Friars St, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2AP

Please book your space via Helen’s website link below:

https://www.reikiformindbodysoul.com/event-details/regional-reijukai-sponsored-by-jruka-2

📞Or contact Helen on 07878776196

JRUKA Members: £25
JRUKA Non-members: £35

Beerling Hall is a beautiful location by the river next to Solly’s Orchard. A beautiful picnic spot and a 3 min walk from Canterbury high street. 

The closest car park opposite Solly’s Orchard is St. Radigund’s Or there is Pound Lane car park next to the Marlow Theatre, but it’s more expensive there.

Reiju-kai meetings are a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers to come together. Jikiden Reiki students can receive more Reiju, practice and revise part of their training. Practice treatments together, get greater experience of byosen and treating others in a group setting. They provide a space for you to refresh your knowledge and understanding of Jikiden Reiki, ask questions and spend time with like minded people. They are truly a lovely way to reconnect and deepen your practice💕

We hope to see many of you there ☺️

How many times a day does your mind tell you, "Don't forget this... and this... and this too"?

Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions, especially at this time of year. That's why I'm reminding myself, and anyone who needs to hear it, that rest is productive too.

Self-Reiki has become one of my favourite ways to step away from the constant doing and simply be. Even a short pause can help me feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.

With the children heading back to school and routines beginning again, it can feel like it's time to switch straight into full-speed mode. But before you do, take a moment for yourself.

To all the mums and carers out there, you don't have to earn your rest! If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, allow yourself some downtime without guilt.

When your own energy is nurtured, you show up differently for your family. More patient. More present. More yourself. 🥰

If you're ready for a little peace and restoration, my doors at The Reiki Edit in Lower Higham are open. I'd be delighted to welcome you for a relaxing Jikiden Reiki treatment.

Much Love,
Hayley 💕

✨ A couple of little visitors to The Reiki Edit garden today… 🌿

First, we discovered this beautiful little slow worm on the patio. 🐍💚

My son picked him up for a little while and he happily slithered around in his hands before we popped him back onto the grass. He disappeared almost immediately, slithering straight down into a little hole and under the garden. 🥰

And then, after trimming back some of the garden, we discovered this absolutely HUGE garden spider! 🕷️

She was quite magnificent, especially caught in the beautiful, golden, dappled light coming across the garden from the pond as the day began to wind down. ✨

My husband gently moved her to the side of the garden so she wouldn’t get trodden on, and off she went to continue doing her very important spider business. 🕸️

I love these little moments in the garden. The unexpected encounters with nature, the tiny lives happening all around us, and those moments where you stop what you’re doing and simply take a moment to watch.

There’s something rather special about The Reiki Edit garden. 🌿✨

A little haven for people… and apparently for slow worms and giant spiders too. 🤍
