Reiki FAQ

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. Specifically, reiki involves the practitioner channeling universal life energy to support the body’s natural healing processes. - How does Reiki work?
Reiki works by balancing the energy centers (chakras) in the body, removing blockages, and allowing energy to flow freely. Consequently, reiki helps to restore harmony and supports physical, emotional, and spiritual health. - What can Reiki help with?
Reiki is beneficial for managing stress, enhancing relaxation, improving focus, boosting emotional clarity, and supporting general well-being. It complements other wellness practices but is not a replacement for medical care. - Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No, Reiki does not require any particular belief system to be effective. It works naturally, whether or not someone believes in it. - Is Reiki safe?
Yes, Reiki is completely safe and suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women. Indeed, it’s a non-invasive practice that works alongside other therapies without interference.
Sessions FAQ
- What happens during a Reiki session?
During a session, you will typically lie fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or near your body. Sessions are deeply relaxing, with many clients experiencing warmth, tingling, or a calming sensation. - How long does a Reiki session last?
A typical Reiki session lasts 60 minutes, though shorter or longer sessions can be arranged based on your needs. - Do I need to do anything to prepare for a Reiki session?
No special preparation is needed. However, you might find it helpful to wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open mind and heart. - How will I feel after a Reiki session?
Many clients feel deeply relaxed and refreshed after a session, with a sense of peace and clarity. It’s also common to feel a release of emotions or a surge of energy as the body rebalances. - How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on individual goals and circumstances. Some clients benefit from a single session, while others prefer ongoing Reiki as part of their self-care routine.
