Your First Reiki Treatment
Receiving Reiki is a very simple process, but usually produces quite profound effects.
After the initial client consultation, the session begins by lying down on my treatment couch which is positioned in a comfortable and peaceful environment within your own home, fully clothed, closing your eyes and listening to gentle, soothing music, which helps to produce a state of deep relaxation. I then gently rest my hands upon your head, non-intrusively, and then move down your body from the crown of the head to the feet. No effort, either physical or mental, is required so you are able to fully relax and enjoy the energy washing over you.
I place my hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body and each hand position is held for a few minutes. During this time healing energy will flow into you, and your body automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time. The Reiki enegy balances your energy system, releasing stress, soothing pain, and promoting your body’s natural ability to heal itself. As no pressure is applied to the body, it is very acceptable to the very young and elderly as well as those recovering from surgery.
As the energy flows, Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, or coolness. Other sensations may include seeing coloured lights or feeling as if you are floating. It is usually a very relaxing experience: some people fall asleep. Sometimes people have an emotional release, as emotional turmoil is brought to the surface and dissipated. Please do not worry if you do not experience any of these things, you may feel nothing at all coming from the my hands, this is perfectly normal and the reiki will still work on whatever level you need it.
No matter what your particular complaint, the general effect of Reiki treatments make you feel more laid back, more calm, less stressed and more able to cope. It boosts energy levels, raises spirits, and make you feel more positive about things. Stressful situations seem to wash over you.
The experience of a Reiki treatment is usually a deep feeling of relaxation, protection, safety and comfort.
Reiki brings things back into balance. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect.
Treatment is enhanced if one can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body detox. Be responsive to the needs of your body, eg resting if tired, and allow the energy to continue its work after the session ends. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.
