REIKI FAQ 

​

• WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It promotes the natural healing abilities of the body.

It is performed by the "laying on hands" of a Reiki practitioner who transfers "life force energy" (also known as Chi, Ki or Prana) to the receiver.

Chi flows through all of living things. If there's blocks or obstructions to a healthy flow of Chi through the body, we'll experience mental, emotional or physical dis-ease.

William Lee Rand, founder of the International Center for Reiki Training describes Reiki as follows: 

"Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery."

Reiki also heals by releasing negative thought patterns and emotions.

• HOW DOES REIKI WORK?

​

Reiki reduces stress and promotes healing by relaxing the body, calming the mind and balancing the flow of Chi through the body. It helps release mental, emotional and physical blocks supporting personal growth and wellbeing.

• HOW IS A REIKI TREATMENT ADMINISTERED?

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy-healing method in which the practitioner channels universal life energy to support balance and well-being in the body, mind, and spirit. The energy flows from the practitioner’s hands into your body and energy field, supporting your system’s natural ability to heal and restore itself.

​

In an in-person session, you remain fully clothed and usually lie on a therapy table, allowing for deep relaxation and optimal flow of energy. Chair or standing treatments are also possible. The practitioner places their hands either lightly on or just above specific areas—such as the head, shoulders, heart, torso, and feet—spending several minutes in each position. The sequence and timing are customized to your unique needs. Sessions typically last 30 to 45 minutes.

​

In an online session, the process is just as effective because Reiki is not limited by physical distance—it works within the universal field of energy that connects us all. You can be in the comfort of your own home, lying down or sitting in a relaxed position, while the practitioner focuses on your energy field remotely. Many clients find that receiving Reiki in their own space helps them integrate the healing more naturally into daily life. Before the session begins, you’ll receive guidance on how to prepare, and afterwards, you may receive reflections or practices to support your continued well-being.
