What does a Reiki session look like?

A Reiki session is an experience tailored to the needs of each client.

Session:

  • The client lies on a message table (fully clothed) and made comfortable through the support of blankets, bolsters and head towels.

  • The practitioner and client will set an intention for the session.
     

  • The practitioner channels Reiki energy through the hands using a light touch or hover technique (client’s choice) over several specific areas of the body allowing energy to move and flow through the chakras of the body - which are the energy centers.

  • Clients may experience sensations of warmth, tingling and deep relaxation. Experiences will vary.
     

  • Reiki is practiced for the best and highest good of the client.
