What is Reiki and How Does it Work?

Are you curious about Reiki and what to expect during a session? Let’s walk through what to expect during a Reiki session, how you can prepare for it, and what to do after the session.

How to Prepare for a Reiki Session

To prepare for a Reiki session, it’s important to wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to relax and move freely. It’s also recommended to avoid alcohol, caffeine, and heavy meals before the session, as these can affect your energy levels and hinder the healing process. Arriving a few minutes early can also help you get settled and calm your mind.

What to Expect During a Reiki Session

During the session, I will start by discussing with you any physical, emotional, or spiritual issues you’re experiencing and what you hope to achieve from the session. This helps me tailor the session to your specific needs. You’ll then lie down on a massage table fully clothed while I place my hands on or above different areas of your body to channel energy and promote healing. You may feel warmth or tingling sensations, or you may not feel anything at all.

What Issues Can Reiki Help With?

Reiki can help with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, physical pain, digestive problems, and more. It can also help promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Reiki works on a holistic level, so it can benefit both physical and emotional well-being.

How You Might Feel After a Reiki Session

After the session, you may feel deeply relaxed and calm, or you may experience emotional releases as the energy begins to shift. Some people feel energized and others feel sleepy. It’s important to drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins that may have been released during the session.

Continuing Your Healing Journey: What to Do After a Reiki Session

To continue your healing journey after the session, I recommend taking some time for yourself to journal or meditate. This can help you process any emotions that came up during the session and gain deeper insights into yourself. It’s also important to listen to your body and give yourself the time and space to rest if needed.
