What happens during
a Reiki therapy session?
A Reiki therapy session lasts either an hour or an hour and a half, depending on which treatment option you choose. See Reiki treatment options.
The treatment takes place with you fully clothed, lying down on a treatment table or seated on a chair if you prefer. During the first half hour of the longer session there is also time for you to discuss particular life challenges, health or emotional concerns, gain new insights into what may have caused them and how to deal with them more effectively, and learn stress management techniques that you can then apply in your life. This will give you greater control over your health and well-being and support your progress in between sessions for a speedier recovery.
The Reiki treatment takes place in silence, with soft background music. During treatment, I channel the flow of Reiki through my hands by placing them gently on or slightly above specific energy centres (chakras) on the front and back of your body, beginning at your head and working down to your feet. Alternatively I may focus the Reiki treatment on one specific area, depending on your particular needs. You may feel heat and tingling coming from the chakras as they draw in the energy your body needs.
During a Reiki session it is common for clients to feel so deeply relaxed and peaceful that they fall asleep. You may also at times experience physical or emotional sensations as the energy of Reiki moves through you. Everyone’s experience is unique and usually differs from one Reiki session to another, depending on how you are feeling and what you are specifically needing at the time. However, clients typically report a feeling of warmth and loving reassurance, and a peaceful, glowing radiance that flows both through and around them. Many are amazed at their experience.
How quickly can I expect Reiki to work?
Reiki energy is subtle and works regardless of surface awareness. Changes will happen at the level and pace that is just right for you and cannot be controlled or rushed. It is your subconscious that is in charge throughout and knows what is needed and what you are ready for. I am simply the facilitator of the process, who understands and respects both the power of Reiki to transform and your innate ability to heal yourself.
A single Reiki session is profoundly relaxing in itself, and it is sometimes possible to experience significant relief after just one treatment, particularly if the session includes some brief, solution-focussed counselling. However, if you want support for a more serious or longstanding challenge, I would suggest that you consider having regular Reiki treatments over a period of time and monitor your progress.
