QUESTION: What can I expect in a reiki session? In general, a reiki session will involve: You will be asked to lie on a reiki table or sit in a chair. Reiki sessions begin with a brief consultation in order to make the session most effective based on individual person’s need. The practitioner places their hands on or just above your body in sequences of positions. Unlike massage, a reiki session does not involve any form of physical manipulation. You do not need to remove any clothing and no private parts of your body are touched. During a session, you may feel warmth or cold, a tingling sensation, slight twitching or a rumbling tummy, or you may feel absolutely nothing. A complete reiki session can last from 60 to 90 minutes.
QUESTION: How often do I do reiki? Your reiki practitioner may make recommendations after your first session. Some common suggestions may include one week, two weeks or longer based on what you are experiencing at that particular time of your life. Be aware that it takes time for imbalances to occur. Depending on your body’s imbalances, one may require more than one session to gain more equilibrium within your biofield. One may feel intuitively guided for additional reiki sessions.
QUESTION: Why do people choose reiki? Some people choose to have reiki for different ways of healing. Reiki provides a more holistic approach. Energy healing is important because we all have a biofield of energy that exists within and around us. Reiki is a choice for many because of the healing on an energetic level. You will feel more centered, at peace, and may experience a feeling of relaxation or a surge of energy. Symptoms of reiki may result in the form of detoxification such as an emotional release, fatigue, extreme relaxation to the point of sleepiness, and groundedness.
QUESTION: How does reiki work? Reiki is a vibrational or subtle energy therapy most commonly facilitated by light touch, which is believed to balance the biofield and strengthen the body’s ability to heal itself.
QUESTION: Who can learn reiki? Anyone can learn Reiki, young or old. Reiki knows no limits to background, age, gender, or ethnicity. Reiki may be right for you if you are looking for structure in your emotions, mental and physical state, and energetic state. Reiki is a fundamental tool for any healing modality that helps connect you to your energy.

If you have never experienced reiki before, it is important that you take time to personally learn about how this healing approach might serve you and your needs whether those needs are physical, spiritual, mental or emotional. You may learn that you have a combination of several of those areas. Many people will reach out to members of the reiki community and attend reiki circles.
A reiki circle is a gathering of reiki practitioners and individuals that have no experience with reiki and they share short (15 minute) sessions as a preview to what a full reiki session will look like. It is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have and to offer a first-hand glimpse of what reiki entails.
