Where will my Reiki session take place?
Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Must I be completely undressed?
Reiki does not require the client to be unclothed. Wear comfortable clothes. A blanket will be provided as needed.
Will I be touched?
Reiki can be performed with the hands on or just above the client. You will be asked your preference before the session begins. If you have sensitive areas please let the practitioner know.
What will I feel during the session?
Reiki practice is balancing, and balance means different things at different times. You might feel relaxation, joy, love or sadness and crying, fealing fear and anger and sweating, depending on how the feelings are expressed and released. You might also feel heat, cold or tingling. All the benefits your Reiki practice brings come from you being more balanced. And being more balanced more often. That increases your overall resilience. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort.
What should I do during the Reiki session?
Prior to the session, feel free to ask the practitioner any questions. The practitioner will give you a few minutes to relax on the table and ask you to open your heart to the energetic healing that will flow through your body and discard unwanted energy. During the session, relax and try to keep present, allowing your feelings to surface as needed.
How will I feel after the Reiki session?
Again, this depends on the person. Most people feel very relaxed, others a bit emotional. The energy will continue to be released during the next 24 - 48 hours so be mindful of your activities and try and eat and drink healthy and in moderation. The practitioner will check in with you the next day.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki is alleged to aid relaxation, assist in the body's natural healing processes, and develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is also said to induce deeprelaxation, help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and improve overall wellbeing.
Are there any medical conditions that would make Reiki inadvisable?
Reiki will not override the action of medical interventions, but rather support the patient while he or she goes through them, restoring balance in body, mind, and spirit to the degree possible. Patients who feel well even when fighting chronic illness are more likely to complete their medical treatment and be active partners in their health care.
it is up to you to be responsible for your own medical care and seek appropriate help. Do not go to your Reiki practitioner for a diagnosis (unless he or she is also your healthcare provider) and do not avoid recommended medical tests or treatment. Reiki practitioners do not provide medical advise
