What happens in a Reiki Healing Session?

Firstly, what happens in a Reiki Healing Session may be a brief discussion of what events have lead you to come for a healing session, discussing the events and issues that brought you to where you are today.

It is important to remember that Reiki is a holistic, energy-based modality.

Reiki is not massage therefore there is no physical or body manipulation whatsoever. Reiki is a divinely guided intuitive art, your Reiki experience may therefore differ from visit to visit.

As Reiki Healing Practitioners, we are guided to use whatever works best for each individual in their particular situation during each individual Reiki session.

Guidance & Respect

Respect for the uniqueness of every client alone demands that this kind of work is driven by people rather then by techniques, you are therefore encouraged to relax, let go, and enjoy your personalized journey to well being in a safe, calm, comfortable space... and that space is inside of you.

After a Reiki Healing Session

How you feel after a Reiki Healing Session is as individual as the person receiving Reiki. Reiki is positive and loving, it is a subtle but very effective vibrational energy. Most people have a sense of peace and well-being after a Reiki Healing Session, some have symptoms of detoxification.

If one feels bad after a session, there can be a number of reasons because Reiki is a type of cleansing, and sometimes one will feel worse before one feels better.

During a Reiki Healing Session, your negative, toxic vibrations whether they be of a physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual nature will be stirred up, brought to the surface to be removed from the your system. Reiki vibrates the negative energy out of the problem area and raises your vibration, where negative energy lowers one's vibration. You may ache, have a headache or stomach ache, which can indicate detoxification.
