What happens during a Reiki Session?
The session begins with a discussion of a bit of the life history of the client. This assists the practitioner in determining the direction the healing session may take. The practitioner then asks the client for any goals he or she may have for the session.
Next, the client is encouraged to get comfortable by loosening clothing or removing shoes and jewelry. The client lies on his or her back on a Reiki table fully-clothed. The practitioner places her hands lightly on or just above the body, usually starting at the head and working down towards the feet. The session is usually conducted with relaxing music and also may incorporate additional healing sounds, if desired by the client.
The client is encouraged to breathe deeply and relax and often feels a sense of flowing heat, coolness or tingling.
