In-person Reiki Session

In a typical in-person Reiki session, the practitioner uses a gentle, laying-on of hands. The Reiki Practitioner applies a very light touch, or sometimes just places hands a few inches above the recipient's body while channeling the Reiki energy. The recipient may share information about what they would like focused on, or may ask for an overall wellness treatment, focusing on the seven major chakras (energy centers) to bring balance to the whole body, mind and spirit.

Reiki is a very powerful, yet gentle energy which is deeply relaxing and creates a sense of well-being. It is usually experienced as a profound feeling of warmth and comfort, and many clients often fall asleep during the session.

What Reiki is Not 

  • ​Reiki is not a massage. The practitioner's touch is very gentle with the hands remaining in a set position for several moments. The person receiving the treatment remains fully clothed. The treatment is safe, non-invasive, and focuses on bringing about the highest good. Similar in nature to the power of prayer, Reiki can do no harm. 
  • Reiki does not replace conventional medicine. Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment of any sort but is rather a complement to your body, mind, and spiritual well-being. Many medical facilities and physicians are now referring patients for this beautiful complementary treatment. Reiki is now recognized by The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals. Users are encouraged to consult their medical providers with any questions they may have. 
  • ​Reiki is not a religion. Although spiritual in nature, Reiki is not affiliated with any religion and is used worldwide by people of all faiths. 

Before your Session

  1. Keep an open mind and open heart. 
  2. Avoid things you know to be stressors for you. 
  3. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. 
  4. Take some time for yourself to breathe, relax, meditate, ground yourself, and prepare for the treatment.
  5. Smile and think about things you are grateful for. 

Simple Grounding Exercise

Time: 1-3 minutes

This is best done outside but can be done indoors; you may sit if not able to stand. 
​
  • Spread your feet about shoulder width apart on a solid foundation (Mother Earth is best if possible).
  • Take all ten fingertips, bring them together and place them about one inch below your navel (bellybutton). 
  • Close your eyes.
  • Take at least five deep, slow "belly breaths". 
  • Feel your belly push into your fingertips each time you inhale. 
  • Visualize yourself as a strong, steady tree. Imagine roots growing out of your feet, traveling deep down into Mother Earth. Your feet are anchored strongly into the earth, bringing balance to the rest of your body. You are grounded and balanced. 
  • Take a few more deep breaths and slowly open your eyes. 
  • Give thanks for this moment.​
