What happens during a Reiki session?

ReiKi is best given by placing hands on, or slightly above, the parts of the body that correspond to the major chakras (Crown, Brow, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus; Hara and Root). The recipient lies down on a couch or on a floor-mat or sits in a straight-backed chair. The best place is a couch. The practitioner's hands are kept in each position for three to five minutes. The recipient remains fully clothed and personal privacy is rigorously respected. Tight belts and quartz watches should be removed.  A full session can last thirty minutes or more, but if time is limited a shorter session, which lasts about 15 minutes may suffice. While the effects of the shorter session may not be sufficient to produce complete relief, remarkable results can be obtained even in this short time. Relaxing music and/or aromatic fragrances create a pleasant atmosphere.

What does ReiKi feel like?

The experience of receiving ReiKi varies from person to person, from session to session and sometimes even within a session. Some people feel a pleasant relaxation, while others feel warmth, tingling or a gentle flowing sensation from the practitioner's hands. While some do not register the flow at the physical level, the outcome of the session will be just as positive. It is not unusual for people to become so relaxed that they fall asleep.

Occasionally people experience unblocking of long-held emotional problems and this may be manifested as laughter or tears. Some people see luminous colours and forms though their eyes are closed. Most recipients feel secure in a soft cocoon of caring energy.

In a Reiki session, you will only receive the flow of universal life force energy. You will not "receive" any of the personal energy of the Practitioner, nor will the Practitioner "receive" any of your personal energy. The Practitioner is a channel through which the universal energy flows to you.
