Relaxing Reiki Treatments in Little Clacton

Are you feeling stressed? Do you long to return to a balanced and harmonious state? Are you in need of some inner stillness and silence? Reiki may be the answer.

Reiki is a natural, Japanese hands-on healing therapy, which has the potential to bring about great harmony, through its quiet and nurturing energies. Often, people go into a deep meditative state during the treatment.  It is a journey into silence and relaxation and can be a means to inner healing. Reiki works on all levels of our being, such as physical body, emotions, mind and spirit.

The Reiki energies help you open up to your emotions and so that you can become more aware of your internal situation and so that unnecessary emotional burdens can be released. Reiki often soothes the emotions and calms the mind, so that you may leave in a more positive and balanced frame of mind.  Reiki can feel like a lovely glowing radiance, which flows through you and around you. Clients often report a greater sense of well-being, harmony and peace, in addition to feeling replenished.

During your first visit, I will take a consultation to gain relevant information. Then you will be able to relax on a comfortable couch for the duration of the treatment. Please allow 90 minutes on your first visit. Subsequent sessions are 1 hour long.

Reiki is a beautiful experience. Come and explore it. Cost of treatment £40.

Reiki Courses at Living in the Light, Little Clacton, near Colchester, Essex

Some say that Reiki finds you... rather than you find Reiki. Either way, I’m so grateful that it came in to my life and that I had Katarina Tilley as my teacher. So much so, that I went on to do level 2 with her… then my Masters.
— Sue
WOW what an amazing 2 days!!! A truly life changing experience, which continues to grow day by day. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to find peace within themselves.
— Eleni
I attended the Reiki 1 Beginners Course and can only say that it has been the start of a turning point in my life. I was initially a bit nervous of attending but as soon as I entered Katarina’s home I felt instantly at ease. She is very warm and welcoming and the group that I was with have now become friends. The Reiki Course itself is a very relaxing but busy two day course and it is worth every penny spend! On the first course Katarina opens you up to the Reiki energy through a relaxing ritual and goes on to teach you how to do the healing on yourself and others.

I have since used the Reiki on my family (even my sceptic partner who is the one that asks me to do it over and over again!). For me on a personal level it has opened my eyes and has given me a new outlet on how to deal with my emotions, to keep calm, meditate and ultimately dragged me out of my self-pity hole and to think of others and to try practice patience and tolerance. I do believe Reiki is a very personal journey to go on and willingly help to improve your life in the best possible way. For our group it was a very calm, spiritual, cleansing two days where we learnt so much about ourselves and I cannot wait to attend the Level 2 course.
— Debbie
Dear Katarina,

I can’t tell you how elated I was after the wonderful weekend in your company and the reiki training. As you know, I have been on the edge of your teachings for many years and have often marvelled at the peace and purity that you exude. The description ‘Living in the Light’ is so apt was it appears that this is exactly what you do and are. Your teachings are so at one with all that is good and how everyone would like their life to be, I wish everyone could see just what gifts you have to offer and how just spending time in your company can be truly transformational. Since my training, I have continued to use the tools that you have given me and in times of stress, recall your voice and words of wisdom.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for igniting the gift of love.
— Louise
From the moment I met my new Reiki master I knew I would be there for my Reiki II and Reiki mastership. Katarina not only is welcoming and hospitable but she makes you feel very special as she takes you into a very different world, for which I will forever be grateful. Katarina’s passion is second to none as is her teaching of Reiki.

The manuals are very well set out and I still use them as guides. However Katarina is always there to help and offer guidance when needed.
— Jayne
It was a strange feeling, something was very different, gone was the heavy dark blanket restraining me, strangling me holding me down. I just knew that for the last 40 years I had disappeared and now something within me was urging me to search for the real reason of my existence. I was feeling confused and my mind churning over with thoughts of well being, I searched and found Katarina Tilley.

This was the beginning of a journey that I never for one moment expected would change my whole perception of thinking and being. I embarked on the Reiki Level I with Katarina soon after meeting her. Katarina explained very clearly the basic principles and practise of Reiki and I received a very powerful attunement. It made many things fall into place.

Soon after I realised I had received much more than Reiki from Katarina, she opened up a gateway for a deeper understanding. It was at this point a change really began, I felt as if I was back in love with the world again. It was almost as if I had been in a deep dark sleep and I was slowly awakening to this beautiful new world around me. Calmness and love was taking me over, it was powerful.

I carried out Reiki on friends and it was an incredible privilege to help others. Feed back was positive so I knew it was time to embark on Reiki II. This attunement was truly amazing. Katarina has a non-judgemental and effortless way of teaching. Through her deep knowledge and wisdom she guided me through this level to a higher connection. I particularly enjoyed the Kotodama. I can only describe my state of mind as joyous since I started on this journey. Katarina has given me clarity and opened my eyes as to the help I can give others as well as support me through my personal life. Thanks Katarina.
— Ann
I had spent a lot of time looking for just the right person to teach and coach me in Reiki and having had various discussions with different people, I was beginning to think that I would never find the connection I was looking for in the person that was to teach me.
However when I found Living in the light and Katarina, something in me lit up and I knew I had found my mentor.
I initially met with Katarina to have a Reiki session and to see if there was the connection I was looking for.
Well I’m more than happy to say I was not disappointed. From the moment I met Katarina I could feel warmth and love radiating from her and she is truly dedicated to improving and helping people to evolve and become more enlightened.
The courses Katarina runs are fantastic, very well structured and so full of information and knowledge which will help you advance.
Katarina is a true inspiration and I would have no hesitation in recommending her and Living in the light to any one who wishes to develop their spirituality.
Love, peace and harmony
— Stephen
I had the pleasure recently to refresh and upgrade both my Reiki Levels I and II at ‘Living in the Light’ in Little Clacton, under the direction of Reiki Master, Katarina Tilley. Whilst I found the two days to be very intensive and full-on I have to say I completely enjoyed the whole experience.

Katarina is very knowledgeable and experienced in Reiki and other healing modalities and easily guides you through the whole experience with sensitivity and humour. I felt completely at ease the whole time I was there.

I have a lot of new things to take on board now but it is fair to say my Reiki seems more intense and deeper than I have experienced before.

I would thoroughly recommend Katarina to anyone who is thinking about learning Reiki or in fact looking for a treatment.
— Nick
I’ve just finished the Reiki 1 course with Katarina. Well I can’t praise Katarina enough, as soon as I walked in the door Katarina put me at ease. I learned so much from her over the weekend, Katarina is a wealth of knowledge and information about Reiki. She gave me self confidence and a belief in my abilities. Such a wonderful person, I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about Reiki.
— Helen
Had a fantastic weekend learning Reiki 1 with Katarina. The whole experience has been life changing and thought provoking. I have come away feeling totally empowered by the whole experience. Katarina made me feel so welcome and cared for. I’d highly recommend this course and any course taught by Katarina, it was amazing from beginning to end.
— Dominique
I have recently had the pleasure of achieving Shinpiden Level (Reiki Master Teacher) at Living in the Light Meditation Centre by my Reiki Master Teacher, Katarina Tilley. The course was conducted under strict social distancing rules. The course was again full-on, especially on the first day and I went home that evening completely exhausted. Katarina covered an incredible amount of content but always at a pace that suited me and she always made sure I understood each topic before she moved on to the next. She has an amazing teaching style that is both sensitive to the student’s need but being incredibly effective at the same time.

If you want to become a Reiki Master and have any thoughts of personal ego then these are soon knocked out of you, not only by the amount of course work but by the subtle way Katarina guides you through the responsibilities this level demands.

I read recently that become a Reiki Master is not the end of your training but is in fact the beginning of your training into self mastery. This is certainly applicable to me as I am sure it is for many others but the good thing is that Katarina is only a phone call or email away and is happy to act as a guide and mentor in your own personal journey. I am not ashamed to say that I have successfully taken advantage of this help since achieving this level.

I thoroughly recommend Katarina to anyone who is Okuden Level (Second Degree Reiki) and feels ready to become a Reiki Master.
