FAQ
What happens in a reiki session?Your reiki practitioner will place their hands lightly over your body and an energy transfer will occur. During this time, their hands may feel warm or tingly. Your reiki practitioner will maintain each hand position until they feel the energy has stopped flowing. When a body receives reiki energy, it is like having a light to make the body aware of the energy that is not serving it. You practitioner does not decide what needs to be released or when, the wisdom of the body does. Once the body has chosen what it is ready to address, it can systematically release the stored energy at a cellular level connected with the imbalance.
How does a distant reiki session work?Distant reiki can be sent to anyone, anywhere, at any time - but permission must be asked or received in some way. A remote healing session can be carried out in a variety of ways. Your practitioner may use a proxy, visualisation, or reiki projection to send reiki energy to you. A time will be agreed upon beforehand, so all you have to do is sit or lie down (with the intention to receive reiki healing) and allow reiki energy to flow to you. The energy transfer in a remote session is just as powerful as if they were delivered directly with the hands in person.
What is the setting?A quiet setting where you are not disturbed is always desirable. Some of our reiki healers have a dedicated space for sessions and are experienced in creating that space when making house calls. For a distance reiki session we suggest that you create a peaceful environment, whether that is going outside and finding a park bench in the sun, or sitting under a tree. If you’re at home, sit in your favourite meditation space, a beautiful spot in your backyard, or lie on your bed if you feel like a rest.
Is reiki harmful?Reiki has not been found to have any adverse effects. Although you may experience any of the following sensations during a reiki session: heat or coolness, ’pins-and-needles’ tingling, vibrational buzzing (as if the bed is shaking), electrical sparks, numbness, throbbing, itchiness, and sleepiness.
How long are the sessions?Sessions can last anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes.
How will I know when the session has ended?After your reiki healing is complete, I will email you a PDF file with the observations and insights that came to light during your session.

Are there any side effects?A reiki treatment will usually leave a person feeling relaxed and uplifted. However, every now and then, a person will experience what is known as a healing crisis.
