What to Expect During a Reiki Session
A Reiki session is given primarily for the purpose of stress reduction and relaxation. You may expect a light, gentle, noninvasive touch therapy from your practitioner. Deep relaxation, relief from pain, and a sense of stress/tension dripping off are often noted while receiving Reiki. Other benefits which may be noticed over time include heightened creativity, expanded awareness, peace of mind and healing at a core, cellular level. Comforting warmth is generally felt throughout the entire healing session leaving you with a delightful sense of well-being.
All energy healing, including Reiki, penetrates clothing and blankets, thus allowing the recipient to remain fully clothed. A session consists of gently resting the hands on predetermined positions, which cover the major organs and body systems. Sensitive and private areas are never touched. The practitioner will rest the hands on the head, torso, and legs without manipulation; therefore, this therapy is safe regardless of the state of your health or physical condition.
Discussion is not mandatory after a session; however, your session will include a few minutes to answer any questions which may have arisen during your session.
What Happens in a Reiki Session In a typical Reiki session, the client lies down on a Reiki table, surrounded by soft lighting and meditation music. The practitioner tunes into the Reiki energy and the energy passes to the client by a light touch or from the practitioner's hands at a distance of a few inches over the skin. The recipient draws the energy from the practitioner into his or her body.
Reiki recipients normally experience a warm supportive flow of energy, which can be felt as a tingling in the body, a relaxation of muscles and mind, and a profound sense of tranquility.
Each person's experience of Reiki is different. Some people experience flashes of insight, perhaps understanding the reason why they chose to experience their dis-ease. Others contact inner spiritual guidance in the form of visions, insights and imagery. Some find old wounds, fears and long-ago memories rising to the surface, followed by a cathartic release. Those with physical pain may experience a temporary increase in discomfort as the healing process is accelerated. In such cases the problem appears to worsen, but this is a temporary condition, followed by steady improvement.
