What is a Reiki session like?
Reiki is not massage, hypnosis, or a tool to diagnose illness or predict future events. Reiki is a Japanese, light-touch technique that provides deep relaxation, thereby strengthening your body's natural healing abilities.
Practitioners and clients report help with stress, headaches, insomnia, upset stomach, sprains, and other minor conditions. Sometimes, seemingly miraculous healing occurs.
Reiki also promotes psychological health, including the release of anger, fear, worry, sadness, and other such emotions, and replaces them with self-worth, confidence, and tranquility.
Reiki is offered as a standard part of care in over 800 hospitals around the country. Nurses report that Reiki helps patients heal faster and with less discomfort. They also see patients' stress levels reduced; their mental attitudes improved; appetites increased; and the negative side effects of chemotherapy, medicines, radiation and other medical procedures diminished.
Reiki is received via the caring and respectful touch of a Reiki practitioner. The client lies fully clothed on a massage table, in a peaceful space with soft music. The Reiki practitioner then lightly places his hands, typically side-by-side, in a series of positions on the client's body. Longer focused energy on fewer areas is also possible. The session lasts at least one hour.
The Reiki energy flows through the practitioner, not from him. An experienced Reiki practitioner knows this, and has learned to set his ego aside as much as possible during the treatment, to encourage the fullest transmission of Reiki.
Reiki is most often experienced as intense nurturing warmth that comes from the practitioner's hands, and then goes deeply and expands into the client's body. Sometimes the client experiences gentle tingling or pulsing. He or she may feel that a positive shift is occurring. He or she may see colors that have special meaning for them. Some may re-experience snippets of happy memories. Others may come into a place of peaceful clarity, usually only found through meditation, where solutions to prior challenges effortlessly appear. Each individual's experience is unique. But a sense of profound calm, well-being, and relaxation are typical. And this is the space where true healing happens.
"As a breast cancer patient, I was seeking something that would reduce fatigue that I was experiencing, but did not want pills.
I came upon Reiki treatments through research that promotes relaxation, and asked Tim Henriques, my massage therapist, who is a master teacher in Reiki, if he would give me a treatment.
After three chemo infusions, I was feeling so tired, that my first Reiki treatment was such a blessing. I slept through the night with so much peace. My oncologist was in favor of this energy therapy during my chemo for help with fatigue.
I am so thankful this Reiki is working for me and it actually gave me a little energy!"
