Reiki
(pronounced RAY-key)
Preparing for a Session
A Reiki session should be viewed as a special and spiritual event. You will experience deep relaxation that will assist you in tapping into your soulful self.
During your session, a Reiki practitioner places his/her hands on an area of a client's clothed body. Reiki flows through the practitioner into the client. This transfer can be felt by the client as any type of sensation (heat, cold, vibration, etc.).
A full Reiki session typically lasts about 60 minutes with additional consultation time following the therapy.
Following a Reiki session, be sure to drink plenty of water. Also, taking an Epsom salt bath, soaking for 15-20 minutes in warm water, will be very beneficial as well.
