In a reiki session, you will lie fully clothed on the massage table. You can remove anything that may feel constricting, such as a belt or watch.

The practitioner’s hands are gently placed around the body: head and shoulders, abdomen, legs and feet. Hands can also be placed over the body/not touching the body, an inch or so away from it.

Reiki works holistically on the whole person-including the chakras, aura, body, mind, consciousness, emotions, and spirit.

A reiki session often feels like a glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It is often experienced as very soothing and the client enters a state of deep relaxation. Worries, cares, and stress seem to melt away during the session. (Reiki.org)

Reiki works in harmony with all other kinds of treatment including medical and psychological care. (Rand, 2000)
