During the Session
Using a combination of meditation methods, aromatherapy, and traditional Reiki hand positions, I will make every moment of the session an experience in relaxation.
A Reiki treatment begins with the recipient's and practitioners mutual comfort. The session will be administered with you, the recipient, lying face up on a massage table. Pillows can be used under your knees and head for your comfort. During the latter half of the session, you will be rolled over, face down. I often use soothing music during the session at a low volume to help increase the relaxation response. Additionally, I will use some aromatherapy fragrance to aid with either relaxation or some other issue we are trying to work through.
The Reiki treatment itself consists of placing hands gently on or slightly above the client’s body to start the flow of Reiki energy. I will use the designated hand positions to cover the entire body, but the energy itself knows where to go and what is in need of healing. If you have any concerns about hand positions, please discuss this openly with me prior to or during treatment. Your privacy and absolute comfort is most important to achieve the greatest benefits of Reiki.
After the Session
While fully aware during your session, you may be in a deep state of relaxation. Following your treatment you will be gently awakened from your meditative state. You will be allowed to rest for a moment until you feel fully ready to get up.Throughout the session, the body temperature can cool due to this deep relaxation. Be sure to keep hydrated for the remainder of the day after any length Reiki treatment.
Attire
Though sessions are conducted with the client fully clothed, tight fitting or restrictive clothing or undergarments may cause discomfort. You should be comfortable. Loose-fitting clothing is usually a good option. You will be asked to remove all jewelry, watches, eyeglasses and shoes to allow the energy to flow freely.
