What to Expect

What should I expect in a Reiki session? A Reiki session is a very relaxing and calming way to nurture and heal your emotional and physical body. A full Reiki treatment lasts 40 to 60 minutes, with additional time to discuss how the energy affects you personally and to answer any questions you might have. Traditional Reiki is performed with the client fully clothed, lying on a massage table, lights dimmed, and music played softly.

How will I feel during a Reiki session? The energy flow is usually deeply relaxing. Our hands often get quite warm during a treatment. Reiki affects each person in different ways depending on their needs at the time. The most common physical experiences are heat or cool sensations, swirling, tingling or nothing at all. Most clients feel peace and tranquillity during a session, often clients drift in and out of sleep. New ideas may spring to mind or old emotions may surface, sometimes sadness and anger are released. Subtle or vivid colors, or visions are experienced.

What will I feel after the session? After a treatment, the effects range from extra energy to a need for more sleep, increased thirst, relief from stress or pain, calmness and peace of mind. Water intake should be increased to flush any toxins released during the treatment.

How often do people get Reiki treatments? While one Reiki treatment would be beneficial for you, bringing a sense of calm and peacefulness, and maybe producing some short-term physical benefits too, the best results come through having a course of treatments. The effects of Reiki build up cumulatively, and having a course of treatments helps to produce long-term beneficial changes for you on many levels.

What can Reiki do for me? Anyone can benefit from a course of Reiki treatments, no matter what your age or your state of health, and beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time. Reiki can produce:

• Deep relaxation
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Boosted energy levels
• A feeling of inner calm, contentment and serenity
• Acceleration of natural healing

Reiki can also help you to:

• Feel more positive, confident and able to cope
• Deal better with stressful people and difficult situations
• Develop a strong sense of purpose and clear thinking
• Remove some of the “clutter” from your life
• Enjoy a better quality of life
