Your Reiki Treatment
Every body is different so each reiki treatment will be different. It is helpful to go into a reiki treatment with the view of relaxation rather than expectation to receive the best from it. If you have never had a reiki treatment before then it will be helpful for you to know that it is a non invasive and complimentary, (not alternative) therapy. You will remain fully clothed for the entire treatment as reiki is able to pass through clothing and other material. However I do recommend layered clothing as this is more comfortable. I will need to know a little about your medical history and any ailments or issues that you are dealing with at the time of the treatment. This is just so that I am aware of where you are generally before we start. If this is the first of a course of treatments there will be a fifteen minute consultation at the beginning of the session so that we can iron out any concerns etc before we start.
How long will the treatment last?
Your treatment will last for aproximately 60 minutes with a fifteen minute consultation to start, leaving 30 - 45 minutes of reiki time.
I like to give clients time to get themselves together after reiki so you will be given some water and time to centre yourself and have an opportunity to discuss the treatment experience before leaving.
Hands On or Hands Off?
Reiki is a hands on energy therapy and each therapist works in a different way. I work according to how my client feels and how the energy feels at the time of the treatment. i use a specific system of hand positions over the body which we discuss in detail at the time of the treatment. Sometimes I will place my hands in other areas of the body if an energy shift is sensed somewhere other than the treatment positions used. An outline of the positions are shown to each client before treatment to be clear where you feel comfortable with the positions and where not. I generally work with my hands on the client but work with my hands off over the centre of the body out of respect of a persons personal space must be obtained at all times. I will go with whatever you feel comfortable with at the time of your treatment.
What happens after the reiki treatment?
After the reiki treatment I will record any thoughts that you may have had during the treatment and we will have a short discussion about any sensations that may (or may not) have been felt during the treatment.
I recommend a course of three reiki treatments to start with as this gives an all round healing experience. Symptoms can sometimes feel a little worse for a while after the treatment as the reiki has kick started the healing process within the body. This is especially the case if you have a lot of stress in your life, as the reiki clears the toxins within the body the feelings will disappear. You can help this healing process by drinking lots of water after the treatment and resting for at least 24 hours afterward.
Healing Hands Statement.
I must stress that Reiki hands on healing is not a substitute for medical attention and you should seek the advice of a qualified GP before looking for other alternatives for your symptoms.
