Frequently Asked Questions

Is reiki safe?

Yes.

Reiki promotes healing by channeling healing energy that facilitates the client's own natural healing process. It is the transfer of life force energy that the recipient can choose to accept or not to accept. The energy adjusts itself to the client's needs and will travel through the body to anywhere it is needed.

What does reiki mean?

"Rei" is spiritual wisdom. "Ki" is life force energy.

Its origins are in ancient traditions that use symbols which transfer to the receiver therapeutic healing energy, peace, and balance.

Is there physical contact during reiki?

No.

While reiki may be defined as "the laying of hands", there is no actual physical contact. The reiki healer will not touch you and does not have to touch you. Reiki energy transfers through the healer to the recipient and knows no distance, space or time. The healer's hands are floated near the body, approximately 3 to 6 inches away.

Because reiki energy knows no limits, it is accessible virtually too.

How long is a reiki session?

It depends. In general, a full treatment may occur within 45 minutes.

The client is made to be comfortable. Scanning the body and asking questions may take a few minutes or longer, depending on what appears during the scan and the discussion about it.
After the scan, the full body treatment occurs. This takes approximately 25 minutes, again, depending on what is uncovered.
The reiki healer will cleanse the space and sweep away any of the toxins released.
At the end of the scan the client is asked to relax for a few minutes before getting up.
The reiki healer will perform cleansing before and after the client is in the room and will conduct other preparations prior to your arrival.

Will I feel anything during reiki? If so, what?

Each person feels the energy differently. Some might not even feel the energy, they might hear it or sense it . But most times the client feels warmth/heat from the reiki healer's hands.

However, you do not need to feel something to know that reiki has occurred.

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance and has many benefits from the client and practitioner. Trust that the power of reiki has been transferred to you.

Who or what benefits from reiki?

Just about anything! People, plants, animals, babies (born and in utero), food, stones, garden, injuries', headaches, toys or anything else with energy.
