Frequently Asked Questions about Reiki Healing:

  • What is Reiki Healing?   Reiki Healing is a life force energy used as an alternative, holistic, healing therapy.
  • What is experienced during a Reiki session?   Everyone experiences something different, and each session is unique as well. There may be colors similar to the northern lights that are seen, or a floating sensation. Sometimes there’s a coolness or warmth felt, or the feeling of a weighted blanket. Each person has their own special experience and feels a sense or peacefulness and calming effect afterwards.
  • How does Reiki work?   A Reiki practitioner uses a verity of mantras, symbols, and movements to clear negative energy from the body, mind, and spirit along with mental and emotional toxins and issues stored within the body.
  • Who is Reiki therapy for?   Reiki is for everyone, adults, babies, toddlers, children, elderly, pets and animals alike.
  • Is Reiki a type of religion?   Although Reiki heals physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, there is no religion or religious practices involved with it. Reiki therapy guides a person through life and provides clarity by connecting with the inner self.
  • How long is a Reiki session?   A session of Reiki typically takes forty-five minutes to an hour. A balancing session can be done in thirty minutes or less. Each session is determined by the extent of the clients’ needs.
  • Can Reiki therapy be given if the person is not present?   Yes, as long as the service is requested. This is called long distance Reiki therapy. A higher-level Reiki practitioner is able to perform and send the healing energy from any distance with little information.
  • Can Reiki make someone ill?   As Reiki raises vibrational levels in the body this sometimes, on rare occasions, causes a release of toxins that may have been stored. Because the body is releasing these toxins it is important to drink plenty of water to flush the system. If there is not enough water consumption then the buildup of the toxins could cause a headache, stomachache or feeling of weakness.
