What to Expect During a Reiki Session.
Every Reiki session is different just as is each person having the therapy done. There is no need to undress for a session of Reiki unless it is being combined with massage therapy, in which case, the practitioner will instruct you as what to do. It’s a good idea to wear loose clothing that is comparable and easy to lay down and relax in. The session will be done while laying on a massage table in a room filled with soothing ambience to help relaxation and alignment to occur.
Although, Reiki practitioners have their own style they use during their sessions, the outcome typically is the same for the client. A sense of calmness, peacefulness and happiness occurs within them.
It’s a sense of well-being and balance throughout the entire self. One of wholeness and fulfillment. A feeling of pure relaxation without any worries or stress. There are times when a client will have an emotional release during or after the session (just like in massage therapy). This is a common response and is very normal, so please, if this happens, allow it. It is only your body ridding itself of the toxic emotions that has been stored inside the subconscious for who knows how long. Letting go of these pent-up emotions is the body’s way of healing itself. You may not even know why it’s happening but either way, the body knows it needs to release it and let it go, in order to heal. Emotional releases don’t always happen to everyone who has Reiki done, but it can happen and you need to be aware it. Whether you do or you don’t have an emotional release, understand that it is normal either way.
Reiki works on healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually within the body, mind, and soul. It balances the body with energy for the higher good and allows you to move forward in life instead of staying stuck.
During the session most clients, but again not all, may see different things. Such as colors or colorful lights, similar to the northern lights, dancing around. Others see visions of scenic settings, photographs, faces, people that come to them and many other things. Then there are clients that see nothing but have sensations of warmth or coolness through their bodies or in certain areas. Some may feel a breeze, a floating or tingling sensation, where others may experience one, some, all or none of these examples during their session. The experience can change each time there’s another session but everything in the Reiki sessions are for the highest good and are a healing process, either for the body, mind, or spirit. It’s what your body needs at that moment in time for the higher good and healing.
Some practitioners will have you lay face down or face up for the entire session while other practitioners will have you turn over halfway through the session to work both the front and back sides of the body. Its the preference of the practitioner and their style of therapy. It also depends on the amount of Reiki being given, the location, the needs and so on.
Essential oils are sometimes used that correlate with each of the different chakras that may either be placed on the body or any diffuser for inhalation during the session.
There are corresponding stones that can also be used during the Reiki session also. These precious stones represent each individual chakra’s energy flow just as the essential oils do. Each type of stone is different for each chakra they correlate with. These stones can either be placed on or beside the body during the therapy session. As like everything else, these stones have their own energy and healing properties.
Reiki is a wonderful healing experience for anyone willing to try it. By balancing the body’s energy flow the healing process is stimulated. With Reiki the body, mind, and emotions, can be healed in many ways. Reiki can be used for people, animals, objects, situations and so on. The flow of energy is never ending as it is always around us and in everything.
If there are any more questions, skepticism or just plain wanting or need to experience Reiki, then contact a Reiki practitioner to schedule a session. It’s not a signal religion, witchcraft or sorcery. It’s simply harnessing and using the life force energy for healing.
