A Typical Reiki Healing Session

   
What You May Expect  
 
INITIAL SESSION: The first session lasts for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After you arrive, you will fill out a brief intake form. Then, then while we sit, I’ll answer questions about my Reiki Healing experience, training, and education. I’ll briefly describe Reiki and how it works, what I will do, and what you can do to enhance your treatment. Then you will either sit or lie on a Reiki table or mat while I do a Reiki Healing Treatment. Before you leave, we will briefly discuss your experience and what I observed, you’ll pay me, and we’ll schedule the next appointment!
 

SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS: Subsequent sessions are 1 hour and 15 minutes long. You will usually "check in"—briefly describe results of the previous session and your current concerns and conditions—then I will do a Reiki Healing Treatment for approximately 1 hour.

 
Your Reiki Healing Treatment
 
You will remain fully clothed, and either lie on a Reiki table or mat or sit in a chair. I’ll help you to breathe deeply, and, with eyes open or closed, you’ll "go inside" and focus on allowing the healing to take place. You may request music or silence. Then, sitting quietly, I’ll silently request guidance and protection, then place my hands on or near your head or body in specific positions, and remain focused on your healing work. You will gradually and naturally enter a deeply relaxed state, and will always be in control of the process. You may talk or be silent. I will request permission before beginning and before changing positions.
 
Reiki gently and naturally helps one to raise and release unexpressed feelings and memories connected to past or current experiences. All your feelings—all of you—is welcome here.
 
As the treatment ends, I will "count you out" of your deeply relaxed state by suggesting you move and stretch, so that you may re-focus your attention and safely return to your day’s activities.
 
After the first session, I may also:

* Tap lightly
* Lightly massage or brush an area
* Blow lightly
* Tone or sing
* Invite you to visualize

 
How Many Reiki Treatments?
 
In Japan, you would come into a clinic daily, and often for 3 - 4 hours per treatment. In the West, Reiki practitioners have adapted Reiki scheduling to the Western mode of living.

Thus: It is generally suggested that one receive 3 treatments within 14-21 days. I encourage you to try to do this. If this is a hardship for you, please talk it over with me, and we’ll work something out.

After the series of three, you may schedule treatments as often as one or more a week, every 2, 3, or 4 weeks—or more: to clear and re-balance your energy, to prevent illness from taking hold, or just to relax and enjoy giving yourself a gift of deep healing.
