The Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for healing energy but will never interfere with any healing that is taking place.
Treatments are performed with the individual fully clothed. They may sit in a chair or lay on a massage table. The Reiki practitioner will greet the client and have a brief consultation with them to discuss specific needs. The client will be asked to take off their shoes and lay on the massage table. While listening to relaxing music the client will take a few natural breaths as the Reiki treatment begins.
The practitioner places their hands lightly on different areas of the body or slightly above the body depending on what the client prefers. The energy that is guided by the higher self will assess where there are blocks and then directs the healing energy to the blocks that are nearest to the practitioner. Sometimes when a block is released a cold or hot sensation may be felt; the client may feel an emotional release or simply nothing at all. The practitioner will complete the session by closing the energy field and allowing the client to absorb the pure natural energy.
