Distant Reiki Session

For a distant Reiki session you and your practitioner will talk or text beforehand, setting a time and discussing any concerns or goals you have, and whether there is anything specific you would like to focus on in your session. This is up to you; it is not necessary for your practitioner to know what your situation is. The practitioner is not there to diagnose, and Reiki goes where it is needed (and not always where the client expected!).

When it is time for your session I recommend taking the time to relax and sit or lie down. Avoid driving or any other activity which requires attention. 

I encourage you to set an intention for your session because energy goes where your mind tells it to go. Great options for intentions are relaxation, clarity and healing. Reiki will also go where it is needed, so if you don’t have an intention that’s okay too.

The practitioner will follow many of the same steps as if you were in the room. Your experience may be very similar to what you would feel if you were on the table. Your role is to relax and breathe. Since Reiki stimulates the "rest and digest" system in our bodies clients often fall asleep. You may get more benefit in this state. Your stomach may also gurgle or growl; this is absolutely fine! You may also experience an occasional twitch or jerk in your body as the energy flows.

Everyone's response is unique. Most people feel deeply relaxed during the treatment. Some people see colors or light, some feel tingling or heat. Some people feel the practitioner's hands somewhere other than where they are at the time. Some feel waves. Some people see images and have profound dream-like experiences or experience emotions. One person may have different experiences at different times. Some don't perceive anything at all. Even if you don't sense a difference consciously it doesn't mean nothing is happening, and you may experience shifts in your life days later. Just release any expectation and don't put any pressure on yourself. 

After your Reiki session you can take your time coming back to the room and getting up. I recommend drinking water and making sure to continue to hydrate for at least the rest of the day. You can share your experience if you wish. Please wait until you feel fully present and grounded before driving or operating any heavy machinery (hold off on that forklift!). I also recommend not doing any shopping right after a Reiki session. I will explain why when we speak!

At the end of your session your practitioner will call or text, whichever method you have agreed upon, to see how you are feeling. If you would prefer not to have a contact and just drift off to sleep you may absolutely request this.
