What can I expect at a Reiki Session?

First, let me start with a disclaimer: Reiki practitioners don't diagnose or pretend that Reiki replaces traditional medicine. 

When Reiki flows through your body, it dissolves energy blockages to restore the free flow of one's own life force energy.  After a Reiki treatment, people usually feel relaxed, centered, focused and with a better disposition. 

In a typical Reiki session, you can expect me to lay hands gently in different places of your body.  A questionnaire is used to determine which places you are not comfortable being touched.  I will use floating hands in these places as well as over the chakras that are located on sensitive parts of the body.  There will be no exceptions to these positions being floating hands only.

You may request for the whole session to be done using floating hands as Reiki will still be passed on this way and it is as effective as the gentle laying of hands.

The session starts with you lying on the Reiki table, I will give your Reiki and then ask you to turn so you are face down to continue the treatment.  Once I have intuitively been guided by Reiki on which hand positions to do, I will let you know that the treatment is over, and I will allow you time to incorporate and slowly seat yourself and eventually get up.




What is Reiki?


The word Reiki is a composition of two Japanese words.  Rei which means a higher power and Ki which means energy, life force energy.

Reiki is a Japanese technique where the Reiki practitioner can channel energy into the patient to promote stress reduction, relaxation, and healing by means of touch or laying of hands or floating hands as touch isn't really required for energy to flow.  A Reiki session can also be done even of both practitioner and client aren’t in the same room.  These sessions are called Distance Reiki Sessions.

Our bodies have energy centers called chakras.  Life Force energy flows through our whole body and the chakras are special centers of spiritual power where the energy flows.  If there are energy blockages in the body that doesn't allow our life force energy to flow freely, our bodies manifest sickness, stress, physical, emotional and spiritual ailments.

Reiki energy is intelligent.  Allowing it to flow through the body, helps dissolve blockages to restore the natural flow of energy.  It balances the chakras and brings a sense of relaxation and reduction of stress.
Reiki practitioners are not meant to replace traditional medicine though.  These are merely spiritual guides of wellness.
