Reiki - So what is a session experience like?

Good Morning,

This is a few hours late, well let's just say almost a day late but definitely not a dollar short :)

I thought this morning I would walk you a through a session so you would have an idea of what to expect when deciding to treat yourself. Remember this is what it would be like if you were having a session with Therapy in Transition/me and please also remember each experience is personal to you. The following is a general outline of what happens and not what you personally will experience emotionally, physically or spiritually.

When choosing a time to come for a session remember to book a time where you know you will not have to do any tasks which entail major mental focusing. Also, I highly recommend to reduce or eliminate if possible caffeine, sugar and increase the intake of your water the day of and before a session.

Prior to arriving the Reiki Practitioner will have already 'cleansed' the treatment room. What does this mean? Well, it basically means they have set the energy of the room back to neutral from any previous clients allowing the room to be energetically available for you to do the work your mental, emotional and physical bodies are wanting to receive.

The sessions will last anywhere from 45 minutes to 60 minutes in length unless you have specified something different. As a client you will remain fully clothed during the session. The practitioner will most likely use a standard massage table covered in cloth with a blanket. Doing this type of energy work some clients tend to run on the chilly side.

There are different hand positions taught through different teachers but all start with working from the head down the body. Some will be guided to have their clients remain on the backs facing up and some will be guided to have their clients turn over part way thru. This is to allow the practitioner to work with the full spectrum of each chakra.

To see the different hand positions you can view our slide presentation by clicking here: hand positions

The work uses a very light touch and in some instances there is no body contact made by the practitioner at all.

When the session is over you will be told to take your time getting up and when leaving you hopefully will be told to continue to increase your water intake. The healing that has occurred requires the use of extra fluids to rid the body of toxins from your system.

I hope you find this helpful. Tomorrow ... or I should say later today we'll focus on the benefits some of our Reiki clients have reported.

Until then ... embrace your inner wisdom!

Namaste,
Karen
