Receiving a Reiki Session

For those of you that have received a Reiki session, you know it's hard to describe to others in words. This sacred healing technique really is tough to condense into a few sentences, but I wanted to share some of the feedback I have heard over the years from previous clients. First off, what one person felt during their session can be incredibly different to another person. Reiki energy can be subtle and gently makes it way where the energy is needed. Not one session will ever be exactly the same as the last. Some people do not feel much during the session and others experience sensations in all the senses. However, the results of a session are usually consistent from person to person. Relaxation.

"No expectations are the best expectations."

What happens during a reiki session?

• ​Reiki is performed while the client is fully dressed and laying down comfortably. 
• Body temperature may drop as you start to relax. This is completely normal when receiving any treatment promoting relaxation. 
• The Reiki Practitioner primarily focus's on the chakras or energy centers of the body, starting at the head.
• The practitioner places their hands gently on top of the body and at times hands can be about 2 inches above the body. If there is an area of concern, rest assured that the reiki will flow where it needs to go.
• After the session is finished, the practitioner shares what came through during the session intuitively and if there are any energy blocks and/or room for improvement in certain chakras. 

 
Things the client can experience during a reiki session:

• Heat coming from practitioners hands
• Sleepiness- Many people describe 'falling asleep', but still being aware of their surroundings. Very similar to meditating. 
• Releases- These can come in many different ways physically and or emotionally. Laughing, crying, coughing, legs jerking/twitching, etc. This is completely normal. Energy blocks, past traumas, and other things that do not belong are just being released.
• What does Reiki feel like? Many people describe the reiki energy in sensations such as pulsating, vibrating, shaking, tingling electricity. Strong feelings of love and compassion is usually what they describe at the end of the session.

" Leslie helped me achieve healing at a deeper level than I ever thought I could achieve. I suffered from depression and anxiety and was on many medications for half of my life. I can say that with her help and the help of other holistic modalities, I am no longer taking any medicine for my emotional problems."
