Intuitive Energy Work

How can I benefit from reiki?

Reiki can be beneficial in many ways, from reducing the effects of burnout, lowering anxiety, reducing overthinking or negative thought pattern, minimizing physical pain to faster recovery from illness, injury, and surgery, achieving a better night's sleep, feeling more energized and motivated to cultivating a greater sense of personal well-being, increasing intuition, and deepening one's connection to their self and the universe. When we are able to turn off stress, our bodies are able to self-regulate and work more efficiently.

What happens during a reiki session?

During an in-person reiki session, the practitioner and client will discuss the reason(s) why they are seeking reiki treatment and what they would like to have treated during that session. The client will then either sit or lie down and the practitioner will direct reiki using their hands over different locations of the client's body to help shift their energy. After the session, there is time for the client and practitioner to reflect on the session. A distance reiki session works very similar to an in-person session except the client and practitioner are not in the same location. Reiki is a channeled energy that is not confined by space or time. The practitioner will often use a proxy (their own body, photo, visualization, stuffed animal or doll) in place of their client to send reiki through.

What does reiki feel like?

Everyone experiences reiki differently. The sensations can vary from session to session and from practitioner to practitioner. It is common to feel warmth or cold, tingling, pulsating, or involuntary muscle spasms. Some people feel like they are floating or report seeing images or colors. There are also people who do not feel anything or fall asleep during the session. The healing works on a subconscious level so the receiver does not need to be fully awake or in a state of awareness to receive the benefits of reiki.

Is reiki safe? Who can receive reiki?

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy; by its own principle, it is intended to do no harm. Anyone can receive reiki from babies, children, pregnant women to sick and elderly. Reiki can also be sent to pets, places, and situations. While many people report positive feelings after receiving reiki, some people may experience spiritual detox (headache, tiredness) after the session. During reiki sessions, painful memories that need to be cleared can also come up. If possible, a client should let their practitioner know if they have any injuries or trauma that may impact how they receive reiki. Post-session, clients should monitor any changes and discuss with their primary care doctor any concerns that may arise.

How many sessions does it take before I see results?

The number of sessions needed to see results from Reiki can vary widely depending on several factors, including the individual's specific needs, goals, and responsiveness to energy healing. Some people may experience noticeable improvements after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve their desired outcomes.

In general, many Reiki practitioners recommend starting with a series of sessions to allow for deeper healing and to address any underlying issues comprehensively. Typically, this could involve weekly or bi-weekly sessions over a period of several weeks or months.
