Your Reiki Session - What to Expect
Before we start:
Your session will begin with a brief conversation regarding any issues you may wish to address. There is no need to offer any specifics that you are not comfortable with sharing because Reiki theapy works to balance your whole body; which in turn will focus your healing on the areas where it is needed. This conversation is only to ensure your comfort with, and understanding of the session. Please remove all your jewelry (including watch) prior to your visit and to turn off your cell phone.
The session:
Reiki sessions are performed while you are fully clothed lying on your back on a massage table (Reiki can be performed while sitting in a chair as well) The practitioner will lay her hands gently on several positions on your body, resting for two to five minutes in each position. The session lasts about an hour; the practitioner will gently let you know when it is over and ask you to sit up slowly. Click here to see the hand positions for a full session.

During the Reiki session, you may feel either a hot or a cold sensation, or even a vibration or tingling in specific areas or throughout your body. You will also feel a deep sense of relaxation. Some people will also fall asleep which is perfectly fine.
Your body heals best when you are listening, or aware of what it is doing so it’s best to keep talking to a minimum and focus on the treatment, the sensations you feel as well as the thoughts that arise as the treatment progresses. There will be a short discussion after the session and shortly following your treatment to go over any observations you and the practitioner made during the session.
After your session:
You and your practitioner will wrap up the session by sharing any observations that you have about the treatment. This information will be documented in your via recorded audio, which will be sent to you shortly following your session.
