A Reiki session is an individualised experience that is relaxing, gentle, and safe for all. It involves healing in a way that will empower you while respecting your feelings and choices.
What happens in a session?
In a standard treatment the client is normally lying down however treatments can also be done sitting up or standing as long as you are comfortable and relaxed. It is recommended to wear loose clothing and limited jewellery, as jewellery made from metals and stones are known to affect the flow of energy.
Your practitioner will place his/her hands on or near your body in a series of hand positions. They will focus on each key position of the body for around five to ten minutes. Focusing extra time on specific areas of the body they feel are more blocked than others. An average a Reiki session lasts around forty to ninety minutes.
What does it feel like?
What one experiences during a Reiki treatment can vary from person to person. As the Reiki energy starts to flow you should expect to feel a sense of deep relaxation, Reiki energy encourages you to let go of your tension, stress and negative feelings you may have. It is common for people to start to feel tired and often yawn, some people even drift off to sleep.
Many people report feeling a warm and cool senses. The fact that you can feel the Reiki energies flowing is proving that the energy is welcomed. By the end of the session you should leave feeling refreshed and positive with a more balanced outlook.
