Your Reiki session

What is a Reiki session like?

The session starts with a short briefing in order to define your request and identify your needs.

If you come for a specific pain, I will ask you to consult your doctor first for him to check your medical condition beforehand. Reiki isn't a substitute to medical treatment.
 
I show you briefly the hands positions that I will be using. You remove your shoes, you lay down with your clothes on, you close your eyes...and you relax!
 
The session begins. The hands-on treatment last approximately 45 minutes.

I will place my hands lightly touching the head, shoulders, torso, stomach, knees and feet. Additional placements on specific areas can be done as needed. This is never intrusive and you will begin to feel very relaxed as you allow the energy to flow to the areas where it is most needed by your body.

When the treatment is over, you get up slowly, rest a few minutes and drink some water to flush away toxins in the system. We then have a short debriefing.

How often do you need to have Reiki?

Reiki is recommended for ongoing health maintenance since it promotes strong health and prevents illness.
One session every 10 to 15 days would be ideal to feel all its benefits.

However, I would encourage you to receive the first 3 sessions relatively closed together to open up and begin balancing your energy system.

You can then decide for yourself what benefits you are receiving from Reiki and we will discuss how best to space the sessions to suit your needs and your schedule.

What might you feel during a session?

As the Reiki energy encourages you to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings, a state of peace and well-being is experienced.
A variety of sensations may be also felt (tingling, itching, energy moving internally, sensations of heat or cold, emotional release...)..
In addition, some may feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. Others drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions.
What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies from person to person and each treatment will be different.  
 
The cleansing effect:
Reiki stimulates your natural healing ability and this may result in the clearings becoming apparent. Some report a worsening of their condition or the reappearance of a past illness. Runny nose, colds, diarrhea, stomach ache, aches and pains, headache, fatigue for a day or so can also be experienced.
Not everyone will present these symptoms. If you experience them, you have to understand that this is not considered negative reactions, but instead the body’s way of letting go of the energetic toxins that were blocking its most effective functioning.
Once the toxins are released and the body adjusts to renewed health, you will feel better.
Some people report having difficulty with others, or feeling anger or sadness. Allow yourself to explore these things. When you feel these changes occurring, recognize them and let the process unfolds.
Remember if you do experience uncomfortable feelings during the course of your treatment, it is because you are healing.

Be patient with yourself!

Soon, your life will be filled with greater purpose, clarity and serenity,

and you will feel better than ever before!
 

“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.”
