What Can Reiki do for you?

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that can offer a range of benefits. It promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety, and helps to restore balance in the body. Reiki can also support physical healing by boosting the immune system and accelerating the body's natural healing processes. It can alleviate pain, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being. Additionally, Reiki can provide emotional and mental support by releasing negative energy and promoting a sense of calm and clarity. Overall, Reiki can have a profound impact on your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, helping you to achieve a greater sense of harmony and vitality.

What happens in a Reiki session?

Practitioners will typically give Reiki treatment in a peaceful, private setting. However, the treatment can take place anywhere. During a session, the client will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed.

The practitioner will then place their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the client’s head, limbs, and torso. They will typically keep their hands in these positions for 3–10 minutes.

If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the practitioner will hold their hands just above the wound.

While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, an energy transfer takes place. During this time, the practitioner may report that their hands feel warm or are tingling. They will hold each hand position until they sense that the energy has stopped flowing.

When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has gone, they will remove their hands and place them over a different body area.
