What Happens in a Reiki Session?

Here’s a breakdown of what a typical Reiki session might look like.

1. Reiki Introduction

What It Is:

  • The session usually starts with a brief introduction where the practitioner explains what Reiki is and how it works.
  • Think of it as a way to get to know what you’re about to experience. The practitioner might talk about the concept of energy healing and how it can help balance your body’s energy.

Why It’s Important:

  • This helps you feel comfortable and understand the process. It’s like getting a preview before watching a movie.

2. Body Scan

What It Is:

  • The practitioner might perform a body scan, which is a way to check for any areas where your energy might be blocked or out of balance.
  • You can imagine it like a gentle, invisible scan that helps identify where you might need some extra energy.

Why It’s Important:

  • This step helps the practitioner know where to focus the healing energy. It’s like a mechanic checking your car to see what needs fixing.

3. Energy Work

What It Is:

  • The main part of the session involves the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or just above different parts of your body.
  • They channel energy through their hands to help balance and heal your energy. You might feel warmth, tingling, or just a sense of relaxation.

Why It’s Important:

  • This is where the Reiki process happens. The energy work helps to clear any blockages and restore balance, which can help you feel better both physically and emotionally.
Teen Testimonial for Let it go with REIKI:
"My body is like my Apple phone that sometimes runs out of battery. Reiki with Calah is like plugging your body into a charger that gives you the energy you need to function best! Fully charged!"

What You Might Feel:

  • During the session, you might feel very relaxed, and some people even fall asleep. You might also feel warmth or tingling where the practitioner’s hands are.
  • Sometimes you may see colours swirling in your mind while other times you may see memories or intentions for the future. 
  • It’s a very gentle and calming experience, and many people feel refreshed and more balanced afterward.

How to prepare for a Reiki session: 

  • Set your Intention. Take a few moments to reflect on what you want to achieve from your Reiki session. Whether it's stress relief, emotional balance or release of feelings, having a clear intention can enhance the experience. 
  • Hydrate. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water before the sesion to help your body process the energy work. 
  • Avoid Heavy Foods. Try not to eat a heavy meal before the session. A light snack works well. 
  • Dress Comfortably. Loose clothing can help you relax more easily during the session. 
  • Avoid Stimulants. Limit caffeine at least a few hours before the session if you can. These can interfere with your ability to fully relax. 
  • Be Open. Keep an open mind and approach the session with an open and positive mindset. Being receptive to the experience can enhance its benefits. 
  • Communicate. Share Your concerns about specific issues or areas you'd like to focus on so that your practitioner can tailor the session to your needs. Also be sure to advise if you have any allergies or sensitivities before the session starts - preferably at time of booking.
