Reiki - frequently asked questions
this happens as you allow yourself to relax and let go.
Sometimes pent up emotions can be released and this is always
something I encourage. An emotional release during a
treatment is very helpful for the client and passes quickly.
Once the emotions have been released you will quickly return
to your normal state and often people feel energised by the
release as they have ‘let go’ of negative emotions they have
been carrying.
I am a Reiki Master Teacher with over 10 years’ experience
and I am very passionate about the benefits of Reiki. I found
Reiki many years ago when I was struggling to cope with
physical illness as well as anxiety and depression. It helped me
so much I decided to become a Reiki Practitioner myself. I
then went on to complete my Masters level qualification and,
as well as being a practitioner, I now teach Reiki to others.
I find a lot of people do not know what Reiki actually is or
what to expect during a treatment so I have put together some
frequently asked questions to help answer these queries.
How many sessions should I have?
After just one session of Reiki you will feel better as it lifts and
boosts your energy. If you are dealing with emotional or
physical pain then I would always recommend at least three
sessions in close succession. Sometimes if people have very
low energy it may take a few sessions to get things in balance.
Every person is different and we would talk through the best
treatment plan for you during your first session. Some people
start to see real improvements after a couple of sessions, some
people may require a few more.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a type of energy healing that originates from Japan.
The Reiki practitioner channels universal life force energy and
transmits this through their hands to the client. Reiki is a
scientifically proven method of energy healing and is used
extensively throughout the world by many therapists and
healthcare professionals.
What can I expect during a Reiki session?
After your initial consultation I will ask you to get comfortable
on the bed, you will be wrapped up nice and warm in cosy
blankets and I will check the energy centres of your body. I
then play gentle music and talk you through a guided
relaxation technique to help you relax your body and mind. I
then move from your head travelling down the body and
gently placing my hands on areas that need healing. Many
clients relax so deeply that they fall asleep, I would gently wake
you at the end of the treatment and we discuss anything that
you felt during the session before you leave feeling relaxed
and recharged.
Is it beneficial to have Reiki even when I feel good? Would it
be helpful to have a regular treatment?
YES! Your energy body, just like your physical body, needs
regular care and attention. Having Reiki when you feel well is
equally beneficial if not more so. When you are physically and
emotionally well the energy can move around the body to
balance and recharge your cells and you will feel physically
and mentally refreshed and revitalised.
Can I have Reiki if I have other regular treatments?
YES! Reiki works well with all other therapies, it compliments
all holistic treatments and it can be used alongside traditional
medicine to decrease side effects and help with the healing
process.
Do I need to take my clothes off?
NO! Reiki is administered while you are fully dressed and
covered in blankets. The most important thing is that you are
comfortable.
I have trouble sleeping, can Reiki help?
YES! Reiki is exceptional for sleep disorders as it helps the
mind to ‘switch off.’ So many sleep problems are caused by
stress and an overactive mind and Reiki helps to quieten the
thoughts and instill peace of mind. Clients almost always
report better sleeping patterns following a treatment and many
clients even fall asleep during their treatment.
Can I drive or go straight back to work afterwards?
YES! It is completely safe to return to your normal life
immediately after a Reiki Session, if it’s possible to stay in a
relaxed state and go home then that is great but by the time
you leave my company you will ready to return to your day.
Most people feel revitalised and recharged.
