Reiki Healing sessions can be different for everyone. This is because Reiki works with what you need energetically at the time of your treatment. During a Reiki session you may experience a deep sense of peace, calm, and relaxation. You can also feel grounded in your body with a renewed sense of vitality. These feelings often continue after your Reiki healing session. It is not uncommon to experience an emotional release during or after your session.

During the Reiki session the practitioner’s hands are placed on or above your chakra energy centres. Chakras are energy centres which work with life force energy, often referred to as Chi, Ki or Prana. The chakras are powerful because they regulate the flow of energy between the physical body, and the spiritual self. There are seven main chakras that are focussed on during a Reiki healing. Reiki flows to where there is stuckness or energetic blockages in your chakra system and works to balance and harmonise these centres to ensure you’re maintaining an energy system that is performing at an optimal level.

You have the choice during a Reiki session to receive Reiki seated or lying down. As the client, you remain fully clothed during your appointment. As you receive this treatment you may experience coolness, warmth or tingling sensations in the body or under the practitioner’s hands. This is completely normal.

Everyone! Reiki is open to all people to experience and can be sent to any living thing such as animals, plants and food. Reiki is a natural healing technique that is non-invasive and painless. Therefore, a Reiki treatment can be provided for anyone of any age. This includes pregnant women, babies, children, pets, people with illness and older people.

Your physical body will give you clues, all you have to do is notice and pay attention to those clues. Stressful thoughts and feelings can lead to physical symptoms such as tension and tiredness. Reiki is a great opportunity to let yourself stop and listen to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs your energy system is trying to communicate with you.

This is a choice you can discuss with your Reiki practitioner and will depend on your intention for receiving Reiki and what outcomes you are hoping to achieve. A regular monthly energetic ‘tune up’ allows you to keep shifting and working with your energy system so it is functioning at an optimal level. Other times you may prefer several appointments across a number of weeks to focus on shifting a specific physical or emotional block.

Physical blocks can feel like tension and tiredness in the body causing muscle aches and pains. Reiki is also supportive if you have been experiencing poor sleep. Emotional blocks arise from thoughts and feelings that are causing overwhelm or anxiety. Sometimes there is a particular life situation that is causing stress to be held in your body, such as relationship breakdowns or job dissatisfaction . Your Reiki practitioner will be able to answer any questions and work with you to determine the treatment plan that is right for you.
