What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "Rei" meaning "universal" and "Ki" meaning "life force energy." In a Reiki session, a trained Reiki practitioner channels this universal energy to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and support the body's natural healing process.
How to prepare for a Reiki session?
Here are a few simple things you can do to prepare for your session to get the most out of it:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your session. Reiki helps to release toxins and balance your energy, and staying hydrated supports this process.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Although you will remain fully clothed during the session, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows for your comfort and relaxation.
Have an open mind: You don’t need to “believe” in Reiki for it to work but being open to the experience allows the energy to flow more freely.
Communicate with your practitioner: Before the session begins we will discuss anything specific you’d like to work on—whether it’s stress, anxiety, emotional healing, or physical discomfort. We can also work together to set your intention if you are struggling to come up with one.
Arrive a Little Early: Arriving 10-15 minutes early can give you time to settle in, fill out any necessary forms, have some tea in the lounge, and allow yourself to unwind before the session starts.
What happens during a Reiki session?
Reiki sessions typically last around 60 minutes. Here’s what you can generally expect:
Initial Conversation: Your practitioner will ask a few questions about any areas of your life where you’re seeking healing. This helps them facilitate a session based on your needs. You can also pull an oracle card or pick out a crystal to hold if you so desire.
Settle In: After our initial conversation, you’ll be invited to lie down on a comfortable table or sit in a chair. You will remain fully clothed during the session.
Gentle Hand Placement: The practitioner will place their hands lightly on or hover above different parts of your body such as near your head, shoulders, stomach, and feet. If there are any areas you don't want gentle touch that can be discussed during your initial conversation. You will be asked before each visit if you would like gentle touch or a hands off session.
Feeling the Energy Flow: You may feel sensations such as warmth, coolness, tingling, or no sensations at all as the Reiki energy flows through you. It’s not uncommon for clients to feel deep relaxation, fall asleep, or have an emotional release.
Intuitive Insights: Your practitioner may take a moment to discuss any insights they gathered during the session, though Reiki sessions are not diagnostic. Your practitioner might offer guidance on how to continue being supported by the Reiki energy.
What to do after a Reiki session?
The effects of Reiki can last for hours, days, or even weeks after a session. Here are things you can do to support this process:
Drink Water: Drink plenty of water after your session to help flush out any toxins that may have been released during the healing process.
Take It Easy: Take it easy for the rest of the day, if possible, to allow the energy to settle in your body.
Reflect: Reiki healing often continues to work long after the session has ended. Many people report feeling more grounded, peaceful, and balanced, while others might feel tired or emotional as they release energy blockages and integrate the healing energies. Just notice without judgement. This is all part of the process.
Journal: Some people find it helpful to journal after a session to process any insights or emotions.
Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your needs, you may want to schedule follow-up sessions to continue the healing process. Many people find regular Reiki sessions to be beneficial for long-term health and well-being.
