How does Reiki work, then?
What Happens in a Reiki Session?
During a reiki session, the practitioner puts their hands on you or just above you to bring about healing. The belief is that the practitioner can stimulate your bodyโs natural ability to heal.
During a typical session, the practitioner will ask you to lie down comfortably on a treatment table while remaining fully clothed. The practitioner may then ask you to close your eyes and take deep breaths to help you relax.
The practitioner then places their hands in various positions on or near your body, moving from your head down to your feet, while channeling Reiki energy. The practitioner may hold their hands in each position for a few minutes, allowing the energy to flow through their hands and into your body.
People often describe feeling a warm, tingling sensation in the areas where the practitioner’s hands are placed. Some people also report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful during a reiki session.
Reiki sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. After the session, the practitioner may provide feedback about areas of tension or blockages that they observed during the session.
