Now that you know what Reiki is, you may wish to know what to expect for your first visit.
When you arrive I like to sit and chat for anywhere from 10-15 min to get an idea of what things are going on in your world, and set intentions for the session.
Since Reiki is ENERGY healing, it helps to literally BE in each other's energy for a bit to allow for a good connection between practitioner and client.
The Reiki Session is done either lying on your back or reclining on a massage table with the lights lowered and calming music is played.
You will remain fully clothed, while shoes, glasses, & bulky jewelry are removed. Sheets, blankets, & a bolster for under the knees is provided for the utmost in comfort .
Your comfort is my priority & any need to reposition during the session is completely fine & encouraged .
Some people feel they need to lie absolutely still for the entire session
(which is extremely difficult!)
It is very common to fall asleep or go into a very relaxed, meditative state. This is good as the body can repair itself easier if in a relaxed state.
Reiki is done using a combination of light touch and hands slightly above the body. Traditional hand placements that are frequently used are areas on or around the head, neck, upper chest, abdomen, knees & feet .
( preferences are discussed during pre-consultation)
Although Reiki can be used for anyone regardless of age or medical diagnosis, it is important to emphasize that Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medical care.
However; it can be used as a safe and complementary therapy for any form of illness or situation.
