A Reiki session will commence with a private and confidential consultation, followed with an explanation of the treatment process and any specific needs.
For the session, you will rest comfortably on a massage couch on your back, fully clothed with the removal of shoes only.
Gently and non-intrusively, the Practitioner will proceed with a series of hand positions beginning from the head to the feet, with the intent for healing energy to flow.
Depending on the client's preference, the treatment will be hands-on, applying a very light touch. Or treatment can be hands-off holding hands slightly above the body.
Usually a session is done without talking, and soft ambient music playing in the background to aid in your relaxation, however, it is perfectly acceptable to speak during the session.
Reiki is a very soothing, peaceful, restful and relaxing experience and many find that they can totally 'switch off' during the treatment and may even fall asleep. You will still receive all the healing and energy benefits of the Reiki session, sleeping or awake.
Everyone's experience of Reiki will be different.
You may feel one or more of the following:
Sense of calm
Deep relaxation
Release of stress
Warm or cool sensations
Sensation of floating
Seeing colours
The above sensations or lack of, is dependent on how your particular body senses the healing.
The Reiki healing energy will flow regardless of whether you feel it or not.
