What Do Reiki Sessions Feel Like?
Reiki sessions are usually conducted in a dimly lit relaxing space with soft music. You may receive Reiki either lying on a massage table (provided), sitting in a chair, or lying down on a bed or a couch if you are not able to get onto a massage table. You will stay fully dressed (just take your shoes off) and will be offered a light cover for comfort.

The doctor will place her hands on different parts of your body, usually starting with your head and proceeding down to your feet. Hand placement is generally very light and gentle, and the doctor may keep her hands in the same area for quite a while, for over 10 minutes in some cases. There is no pressure, as Reiki is very different from a massage.

Although every client's experience is different, most clients feel a sensation of warmth, feel more relaxed and even fall asleep during the session. Many clients report that symptoms that were bothering them before are less noticeable after the session. On occasion, a client may feel the energy of the practitioner's hands even after she moved her hands to a different area of the body. Clients often report a different sensation on the right and on the left side of the body, which is normal.

For some clients the Reiki process opens a stronger connection to inner self, which could be an emotional experience, which is also normal. There is no good way to clearly explain the Reiki experience other than letting it actually happen. We hope you enjoy your session and we hope it will be a relaxing and comforting experience for you. Most people feel relaxed for many hours, and often for the rest of the day after their Reiki session. Many people continue to experience the benefits of Reiki even long after the session is over.
