How Are Reiki Sessions Administered?

Reiki sessions (or treatments) are usually given with the client lying on their back for about half of the session and then on their stomachs for the remainder of the session. The practitioner then moves around the client allowing the Reiki to flow while placing the hands in different positions. It is not necessary to do the treatments in this way. If someone is more uncomfortable lying down in either position, the positions may be held while sitting or standing. It is important that both the client and the practitioner are comfortable for the best flow of Reiki energy.
If you have a particular need that you would like special attention given to, please let the practitioner know in advance.

To Be Prepared For A Session:

• Wear comfortable clothes.
• Only wear the jewelry that you normally wear 24 hours every day.
• Try to think of a personal goal or wish, in advance, that you would like excess energy to go toward. This is called an “Intention”. And is a form of prayer.
• And as always, try to eat as healthy as possible and drink plenty of fluids.

Are There Side Effects From Reiki Session?

Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and invigorated by a Reiki session. They often fall asleep during treatment. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing opportunity. As a person’s vibration goes up and negative blockages are released, physical toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache, stomachache, fatigue, or even sadness. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest for the next few days. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process, so this is a good sign.
