YOUR REIKI SESSION

A Reiki treatment is performed on you, the fully clothed client, lying comfortably on a table. You can choose to have a blanket covering you for warmth. I will gently place my hands on your head, upper chest, arms, stomach, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Towards the end of our session, you will have the option to turn onto your stomach so that I can place my hands on your back and the back of your knees. If you prefer not to be touched in any area or not at all, a Reiki treatment can also be performed with hands hovering over the body. All of this will be briefly discussed before we start so please let your needs be known.
The experience of a Reiki treatment varies greatly from person to person. The most commonly reported physical sensations are heat, coolness, tingling, or pulsation in a particular area of the body. You may feel an overall sense of peace and relaxation or nothing at all. Because your experience can vary greatly from one Reiki session to the next, it’s best to approach your treatment without the expectation of feeling any specific sensation.  There’s nothing you need to do in order to improve the effectiveness of your Reiki treatment. However,  in order to encourage the relaxation and mindfulness that Reiki brings about, I invite you to enjoy your treatment in silence or with music,  close your eyes, sink into the table, and tune into your body. Falling in and out of sleep is a normal relaxing effect of Reiki so there’s no need to worry if you doze off. Also, be prepared for the possibility of a noisy stomach (or two--you may hear mine as well); Reiki helps with digestion.
