Reiki

Reiki is energy work that brings health, peace, and a sense of well-being. It has the ability to shift a negative mood to peaceful bliss. Reiki is healing energy for your greatest and highest good.

The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word Rei which means Universal Life and Ki which means Energy.

Reiki can be done in person or via a distance healing session. Both are as effective as the other.

What to do before a Reiki session?

  • 1. Relax and reflect

    Arrive on time. Give yourself at least 15 minutes prior to the session to sit and reflect. Check-in with how your body is feeling and take note of any emotions, thoughts, or physical sensations you are experiencing. You may also want to reflect on any intentions you want to set for your session and anything you want to share with your practitioner before your session.

  • 2. Come in nourished and hydrated

    Keep your body well-nourished and hydrated on the day of your session. Avoid eating a heavy meal beforehand, as you don’t want all of your body’s energy to be directed toward digesting while you’re receiving energy treatment. It is suggested to refrain from caffeine, sugar, or alcohol.

  • 3. Dress Comfortably

    Comfort is the key when you want to be open to integrating the Reiki energy.

    You may wish to wear natural fabrics such as cotton, linen or silk. Remove your shoes, jewelry and eyeglasses before your session, and keep your phone switched off or leave it behind.

  • 4. Use the Restroom Beforehand

    You’ll also want to use the restroom before the session. If the position you are in for your session is uncomfortable in any way, please do not hesitate to communicate this to your practitioner.

  • 5. Fill Out the Reiki Client Intake Form

    At your initial session, you’ll have a short introduction about the process and your expectations or intentions. You may want to let your practitioner know about any symptoms you want to be addressed, or if you would like them to focus on some particular chakras. Also, let the practitioner know if you have any injuries or places that are sensitive to touch. You will also be asked to fill out the Reiki Client Intake Form.

* Whether you are receiving an in-person or remote Reiki session, the preparation is the same.

What happens during a Reiki session?

A typical Reiki session lasts for one hour and begins with the client lying down on a futon or massage table fully clothed. Shoes, eyeglasses and jewelry are asked to be taken off for the time of the Reiki, if the client wears them.

During a session, a Reiki practitioner will gently move their hands above or close to the body in a series of positions. Each hand position focuses on a different part of the body / chakra including the head, throat, chest, stomach, hip area and feet. There is very little/no talking during sessions.

Reiki can be done either hands-on or hands-off. If you do not wish to be touched please let your provider know before your session.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Reiki enters the body through chakras. When Reiki is applied, Universal Energy will flow. Reiki Practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the Universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.

  • You may experience the energy in the form of colors or sensations like heat, tingling, or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Some feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all.

    Most people feel relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and some fall asleep during the process.

  • Reiki is an individual experience, and everyone will experience it differently. Recipients may experience fatigue, calmness, increased energy, emotional release, or other short-term effects.

    At the end of the session, you will have a moment to share anything that came up for you during the session with your reiki practitioner. There is also an option to buy an individually made essential oil that can be used to support certain chakras to balance the body and the mind.

  • Reiki healing and Essential Oils are a powerful combination for unblocking energy channels that flow between your chakras. There are many oils that can be used in Reiki treatments for different benefits. Oils are carefully and individually chosen by the needs of the customer. Jenni’s Wellness Journey uses Young Living oils.
