What does Reiki feel like?
Some people may not feel much during a Reiki session besides relaxation. However, there is the possibility of feeling slight tingles or warm/cold sensations as I move the life force energy throughout your body. This is completely normal, and is actually a good indicator that you are receiving the universal life force energy as your body needs it.
What will I get out of a Reiki session?
Reiki can help you feel more relaxed and you may even feel a boost of energy, as if you’ve just taken a cat nap! It can also provide emotional comfort and healing during difficult times. I pride myself in holding a safe space for everyone who may need it in any capacity, so vulnerable discussions post-session are common and welcome.
Do keep in mind that Reiki may have various effects on various people because energy differs from person to person. Someone’s energy may flow in areas where it may be blocked in someone else, for example. Therefore, what each person receives from a session is just as unique as the person themselves.
Do I have to do anything after a Reiki session?
Post-Reiki, it’s recommended that you move your body and drink lots of water for the 48 hours following your session. Hydration and movement help the life force energy move throughout your body and helps it get to where your body may need it. Think of the energy flowing through your body like water, filling any divots along the way. That’s how I like to describe it! A nice walk, a light workout, a yoga session, or simply stretching a few times throughout the 48 hours are my suggestions for movement.
What makes a person a good candidate to receive Reiki?
Anyone can receive Reiki. There are no specific “requirements” for someone to be able to receive it.
What do you do as a practitioner during a session?
During a Reiki session, I become a conduit for universal life force energy to flow through me to you. I begin by scanning your body to energetically pinpoint specific areas where your energy may feel stagnant or blocked, and use the power of Reiki to remove those blockages and get your energy flowing. Sometimes I focus directly on certain chakras, or other times, I’m guided to various areas of the body where energy may be “stuck”.
During this scanning, I pick up intuitive messages as well, and will always offer to share what I receive during your session, so long as you are open to receiving that information.
What do I have to do during a session?
Nothing but relax, be present, and open! At the beginning of every session, I ease you into a meditative-like state so you’re nice and comfortable, able to take in all of the invigorating universal energy that your body needs.
How often can I / should I receive Reiki?
Reiki can be received as often as a person feels they need it. Whether it’s monthly, bi-monthly, every 6 months, or once a year, it totally depends on what you feel you need.
