Reiki Treatment
The most popular and recognizable aspect of modern Reiki practice involves palm/hand healing techniques. In a Reiki treatment, practitioners are traditionally understood to balance the “Ki” or subtle energies of an individual upon making contact with their hands.
Reiki as a therapeutic process involves light physical contact between the practitioner and client on various parts of the body. During a Reiki treatment, clients remain fully clothed as the practitioner covers a set of predetermined hand positions on and around the torso and head. Midway through the session, attention is given to positions on the back, arms, and legs. Each position is usually maintained with very light contact for an average of 2-5 minutes.
Studies have shown Reiki to have a generally positive effect on a person’s stress levels, sense of comfort, and overall well-being. In addition to these intangibles, Reiki has been shown to help:
- Digestion issues
- Pain
- Chronic stress
- Anxiety
- and Insomnia
In addition to this documented evidence, many people report various experiences during their Reiki session. Common sensations include:
- Heat
- Lightness / Heaviness
- Tingling
- Heightened Awareness
- Slight Pressure
- Deep relaxation
- Magnetism
- Sense of Wellbeing

Please note: Reiki is not a substitute for medical care. As a professional Reiki practitioner, I do not diagnose conditions, prescribe medicine, nor interfere with the medical treatment of a licensed health care professional. When used as an adjunct rather than a substitute, Reiki sessions have been shown to regularly make a difference in a variety of ways both physically and mentally. It is recommended that you see a licensed health care professional or specialist for any condition, physical or psychological, that you may have.
