What is a Treatment Like?

Reiki is often experienced on a massage table, fully clothed.

The Reiki practitioner places their hands, palms down, on or above the client's body, usually in a series of hand positions that work to balance and clear the client's main chakras, send energy to organs, and even treat major acupuncture points.

A typical Reiki session lasts from 30 minutes to over an hour.

The Reiki practitioner's hands may feel warm or even hot; this is the energy flowing from the practitioner to the client.

Someone receiving Reiki may feel many sensations, including warmth, tingling, calm, well-being, relaxation, even feelings of bliss.

Sometimes a client will see colors, experience visions, and have a powerful emotional release during a session as old emotions and trauma from past or present events are felt one more time before being released to make way for more positive, healing energy.
