One Reiki treatment lasts about an hour and involves the client lying fully clothed on the treatment table, covered with a blanket.

Firstly, I ask my clients to try and empty their mind, watching their breath as a way of focusing that stillness of mind.

If a client has trouble relaxing then we can go through a guided meditation to begin with to help calm and prepare for the healing energy.

It is also advised to remove jewellery before the treatment as different minerals and metals have their own energy fields and we don’t want anything to interfere with the Reiki energy.

I use gentle music to create an atmosphere of calm along with Tibetan Healing Incense. These are of course optional - if you don't like incense then please let me know!
I also light a candle for my own connection.

People often fall asleep - snoring is not a problem, I am used to it! Falling alseep is a good reaction as that means that you are truly in a state of relaxation and the energy can really get to work. If people have never experienced healing before they will quite often fall straight asleep.

I will begin by working on the head area and then gradually move to other places on or around the body - often the chakra points. The client may experience any of the following:

Warmth from the practitioner's hands.
Cold from the practitioners hands.
Tingling or pins and needles.
A breeze against the skin.
Energy movement inside.
Muscles twitching.

Occasionally, especially if the work has been on emotional issues, the client may feel a release after the session and the need to cry, this is a good reaction and it is important to allow yourself to cry and let it out of your system.

Saying that, if you don't feel anything it doesn't mean it hasn't worked. Reiki is so versatile that it works in many different ways and it can work on levels that cannot yet be experienced in "reality".

Physical injuries may not immediately feel the effects of Reiki, it is important to understand that sometimes the effects of such a treatment may not actually become apparent for a couple of days or until after a few sessions.

At the end I seal the healing and brush away any negative energy that may have been released during the session.

Should you have any further questions then please do contact me for more information.
