Getting Reiki Treatment by a Reiki Practitioner

Once the session begins, you can expect the Reiki practitioner to move their hands to certain areas of your body.  They may first sweep energy across your body in order to find blocks in your aura.  Others may instantly place their hands on your body, where they have found energy blocks.  The placement of the hands should never hurt, but only be a light touch. 

Depending on the location of any blocked energy flows in your body, the hand placements may be in one area for the entire session or in a variety of different places.  This will be determined by the practitioner when dealing with any energy blocks, as will the length of time it takes for the universal energies to transfer through the chakras.  During this time, you should feel relaxed and you may even fall asleep, this is quite common.

Some practitioners may also use equipment in order to help with their sessions.  Gemstones and aromatherapy will often accompany particular parts of a Reiki session.  Many will also have music playing in the background, or will use toning instruments to assist with the change in energies.  The use of these different tools will depend on the practitioner that you choose.

The practitioner will ask you various health related questions before you begin your session and again after the session is finished,.  Because you are going for a healing session, it is important for them to ask you questions about the state of your health both before and after each session.  This will help them in determining where you need assistance as well as how well the session worked for you. 

Once you have completed your healing session your mind will be relaxed and you should have a feeling of revived energy. Whether you decide to see a practitioner only once or over a series of visits, each time should help to open your chakras and relieve blocked energy so that you can begin to heal.
