A Reiki Treatment

Whilst the recipient lies relaxed, fully clothed and with eyes closed on a couch, the Reiki practitioner gently uses a sequence of hand positions along the head and body to transmit the Reiki energy. Soft music and scented candles are often used in the background to create a relaxed atmosphere. Reiki can also be administered in a sitting position for shorter treatments, or for those not comfortable in a lying position.

The recipient may feel physical sensations such as warmth, coolness or tingling. Sometimes recipients may sleep during the procedure or have dream like images, all of these sensations are perfectly natural and in no way disturb the flow of energy transmitting from the practitioner.

Reiki can heal at any level of being; physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. In cases of terminal illness, there can be enhancement of the quality of life, giving a sense of peace and sometimes acceptance.

A full treatment usually lasts about an hour.
