Answers to your frequently asked questions
01
How do I prepare for a reiki session?
To prepare for a Reiki session, start by setting clear intentions about what you hope to achieve, whether it’s relaxation, emotional healing, or physical relief. Wear comfortable, loose clothing and stay hydrated by drinking water beforehand. Create a quiet, distraction-free environment by turning off electronic devices and choosing a time when you won’t be disturbed. Engage in deep breathing or light meditation to relax your mind and body. Communicate any concerns with your practitioner, and remain open to the experience, allowing the healing energy to flow.
02
What is a reiki session like?
A Reiki session typically begins with a brief discussion between the practitioner and the client to understand intentions and any concerns. The client lies down fully clothed, often on a massage table, while the practitioner gently places their hands on or above the body. The practitioner channels healing energy, which may feel like warmth or tingling. Soft music or ambient sounds often enhance relaxation. The session usually lasts 45 to 90 minutes, promoting deep relaxation, stress relief, and emotional balance. Afterward, there’s time for reflection and discussion about the experience.
03
What to expect after a reiki session?
After a Reiki session, you may feel deeply relaxed and calm, with a sense of clarity and peace. Some people experience emotional release or heightened awareness of feelings, while others may feel energized. It's common to feel a bit fatigued, so give yourself time to rest. You might also notice physical sensations, such as warmth or tingling in areas where energy was focused. Staying hydrated is important, as it helps to flush out toxins. It’s beneficial to reflect on your experience, as insights may emerge in the days following the session.
04
How often do I need reiki sessions?
The frequency of Reiki sessions varies based on individual needs and goals. Many clients start with weekly sessions, especially when addressing specific issues like stress, anxiety, or physical ailments. After a few sessions, some may shift to biweekly or monthly appointments for maintenance and overall well-being. Others might choose sessions as needed, especially during challenging times. Ultimately, it depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and the nature of the issues being addressed. Regular check-ins with your practitioner can help determine the best schedule for you.
