Start Reiki

Going to Reiki Practictioner

Reiki therapy is a specific hands-on healing technique that uses a specially trained practitioner who will use his or her hands, placed on your body, to help free up blocked energy, helping to balance your life force and heal from “within. Following you will discover information about Reiki attunement, as it is called, so that you will be physically and mentally educated before your first Reiki therapy program.

As a whole, most Reiki sessions will last from 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will vary from one practitioner to another, along with the unique attunements they select for you. Make a point to find out what certificates and credentials a practitioner has before you make your appointment.

How Reiki Works

When you go into a session, you will be asked to lie on a massage table, fully clothed, and the practitioner will make sure that you are relaxed. Any stiffness in your muscles may keep Reiki therapy from working to the fullest.

At this point, expect the practitioner to move their hands over and near various areas on your body. They may first sweep energy across your body in order to find obstructions in your aura. Others may immediately place their hands on your body, where they perceive energy blocks. The placement of the hands should never hurt; it should only be a light touch. After you know about Reiki attunement you will understand the efficacy of this energy clearing process.

Depending on the position of the blocks, the hand placements may be in one spot for the entire session or in a variety of different places, and last as long as it takes for the universal energies to transfer through the chakras. During this time, you should feel tranquil. It is not unusual for someone to doze off during the session.

Stones and aromatherapy will often accompany the treatments. Some practitioners will also have music playing in the background, or will use toning instruments to assist with the attunement of your energy.

One Visit or Multiple Sessions?

Because you are going for a alterative session, it is important for practitioners to ask you questions about the state of your health both before and after each session. This will assist them in determining where you need help as well as how well the session worked for you.

When you complete your Reiki treatment, you will leave feeling restored and relaxed. Whether you decide to visit a practitioner only once or for a series of sessions, each time will help to open your chakras and free blocked energy so that you can begin to heal. Although Reiki therapy should never replace a full medical checkup, it is considered an excellent style of integrative medicine, used with a variety of other healing treatments. If you would like to know more about Reiki attunement, there are a lot of excellent resources on the web. Most towns have an integrative health center or clinic where you can research Reiki practitioners. Advocates of Reiki will all attest to its benefits–helping to eliminate stress, diminish pain and give people a sense of well-being and radiant health.
