What Happens During a Reiki Session?

A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic, non-interventionist, non-manipulative and no pressure is applied.

A session is usually carried out with the recipient lying down or sitting, in a comfortable and 

peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy passes easily through 

all materials, including plaster casts.

The practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body. The recipient automatically draws in 

only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time.

Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, 

or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect. 

It is a good idea to rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water over the next few days. 

Be responsive to the needs of your body, eg resting if tired, and allow the energy to continue its 

work after the session ends. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.
