What Happens During a Reiki Session? A Step-by-Step Guide
Do you sometimes feel stressed, tired, and just out of it but are unsure of the reason? Reiki sessions can be considered an amazing choice for those searching for peace, and they are the most common type among all energy healing sessions. Nevertheless, if you have never tried Reiki healing before, maybe you are curious about what to expect during this process. Are there any requirements? Are you supposed to feel something during a Reiki treatment? Don’t worry, a Reiki treatment is not complicated and very soothing.
Here is all you should know about your first Reiki treatment, from talking to the healer to opening your eyes at the end.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese practice for healing energy. It derives from the Japanese terms “re” which means “universe,” and “ki” which refers to “life energy.” During the Reiki session, the practitioner places his/her hands close to your body with the purpose of helping you find balance and relaxation. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, Reiki is classified as a complementary practice.
Steps You Can Expect During a Reiki Session
Step 1: Beginning the Conversation
A conversation about your health starts right from the beginning when you come to your therapist for the session. The psychologist will inquire how you feel and how she will assist you. Stress, tiredness, emotional distress, or the need to unwind might be some of the factors that led you there.
Step 2: Preparation for the Procedure
Then, you begin removing your clothes until you get to your underwear, although, in some cases, you do not have to strip off your clothes. You then lie down on the couch in an inviting environment with dim lighting and soothing music. You need to remove your shoes only.
Step 3: Deciding the Purpose of the Session
Then, you and your therapist determine the purpose of the session. Usually, it sounds like “to release stress” or “to become balanced.” In this way, your Reiki treatment will receive its direction.
Step 4: Hands-On Healing Session
This step is the core of your treatment. The practitioner puts her hands on different parts of your body, and she usually goes through the sequence of chakras—energy centers of your body. The touch is not too deep; sometimes there’s no touch at all.
Each individual experiences something unique. Some experience:
- Heat or subtle tingling
- Heavy or light sensation
- Deep relaxation or sleepiness
- Rise of emotions followed by their grounding
- No specific experience whatsoever, and it is perfectly normal
Step 5: Ending the Treatment
When the energy treatment is finished, the therapist will slowly bring you back to yourself. You’ll just lie down for a few minutes, and you can get up whenever you’re ready. Reiki sessions are typically about 45 to 60 minutes long.
Step 6: Follow-Up and Reflection
At the end of the Reiki session, you will share your experience and be provided with a few basic suggestions. The most relaxing thing for your body is to drink plenty of water and have an easy day.
Experience during Reiki Healing Sessions
People come out of Reiki sessions feeling lighter and more relaxed. Others might feel sleepy or energetic. It was reported by the Cleveland Clinic that people often describe Reiki sessions as a highly relaxing experience. Everyone experiences it differently, and Reiki treatment should not replace any medical treatment. In case of health problems, please consult your physician as well.
