What to expect from a treatment
The method of receiving a treatment is a very simple process. You simply lie on a couch and relax! If you are unable to lie down the treatment can be given in a seated position, the main thing is for you to be as comfortable as possible. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything, even plaster casts.
The hands are placed gently and non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than any specific symptoms. A full treatment usually takes 1 - 1/4 hours.
During the treatment, people report feelings of relaxation, warmth, tingling or invigoration. Some claim to have new insights into themselves or their problems, others 'see' images or colours. Overall the experience is a very positive and uplifting one.
After your treatment, it is important to rest and to drink plenty of water over the next 48 hours. This will help to flush through the toxins eliminated by your Reiki treatment and assist in the healing process.
Reiki healing can be given anywhere at any time as no special equipment is needed. The practitioner is a channel through which the energy is drawn by the need in the recipient and therefore neither person has to use any will or concentration during the process. Belief is not necessary, as Reiki is not a religion.
