What to Expect in a Reiki Session ?
You will lay down on a massage table (or bed if you are home receiving a distant session). You will be fully clothed except for your shoes. You will also be asked to remove or loosen your belt so that your breathing or energy is not restricted. It is best to wear loose-fitting garments on the day of your appointment and natural fabrics are best (cotton, wool, or linen). You will also be asked to remove any jewelry (rings, bracelets, pendants, etc.) prior to the session, so consider leaving these items at home,if possible.
Reiki practitioners will often create a relaxing atmosphere for their Reiki sessions, setting the mood with the use of dimmed lights, meditative music, or bubbling water fountains. This helps the person to relax which allows the energy to work more efficiently. Some practitioners prefer to be in a place that is completely silent, without distraction of music of any kind, to conduct their Reiki sessions.
During the Reiki session the practitioner will place his or her hands on different parts of your body. I always ask permission first, in case the person is uneasy about being touched. Some Reiki practitioners will follow a predetermined sequence of hand placements, allowing their hands to rest on each body placement for 2 to 5 minutes before moving on to the next. Empathic practitioners will freely move their hands in no particular order to the areas where they "feel" Reiki is most needed. Some Reiki practitioners do not actually touch their clients. Instead, they will hover their lifted palms a few inches above the reclined body. Reiki automatically flows where the imbalances are in your body regardless of where the practitioner's hands are placed.
Everyone's experience with a session may be different, and may even be different from one session to another. This is due to many factors including what is needed in the session,
level of relaxation, blockages that need cleared, etc. It is not uncommon for a person to even feel nothing at the time, then later start to feel better. The practitioner has no control how the energy will work.
Each experience is unique to the individual.
