What happens during a Reiki Session?

A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied. A session in usually carried out with the recipient lying down, or sitting, in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy passes easily through all materials, including plaster casts. The practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body. The recipient automatically draws in only as much energy as is needed, using it in whatever way is the most appropriate at the time. Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all.

Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect that is particularly effective in relieving stress. Any treatment may be enhanced if you can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to aid the detoxification process. Be responsive to your body’s needs, e.g. resting if tired, and allowing the energy to continue its work in the days following the session. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.

Even one single Reiki session may make a difference; however a course of regular treatments may be more effective. These could be weekly fortnightly or less often, depending on individual needs. A treatment plan will be discussed with you, and reviewed as necessary. This will always be subject to your own preferences, and can be changed at any time in line with progress.
