Reiki

Sessions

A Reiki session can be given in several ways,

1) At my location
2) On-location (at your home, in a hospital, etc.)
3) From a distance without physical contact

At My Location

My business is located in Shoreline, Washinton. A Reiki session at my office begins with a short informational conversation between me and the client. A brief health intake form is completed before the first session. The client will then lie on a massage table, fully clothed and relax.

The client is encouraged to fully relax but may wish to relay information during the session regarding feelings, physical or emotional. A Reiki session can be deeply relaxing and some clients will doze off during the session which is not a problem as the Reiki is still being received regardless of the client’s waking state.

Once the treatment is over I will ask how the client feels and allow them time to become fully conscious and ready to face the rest of their day. At this time we may discuss what we both felt and any future treatment plan.

On-Location Session

On-location sessions are dependent on many factors. I may travel to a location within the region for a Reiki session with a client depending on the circumstances. There are times when an on-location session is requested and I feel that a distance session would be more appropriate. In that instance I would suggest the distance session.
If the client is unable to travel and very ill an on-location session may be the most appropriate. If the on-location session is needed a travel fee may apply.

Distance Session

A distance Reiki session can be very effective in many situations. The circumstances that indicate a distance session is needed are usually that the client is too far away to receive Reiki in person or possibly in an unknown place (such as a lost pet or a runaway). Many people request Reiki for loved ones that are in their care, part of their family or other special circumstances. These situations may be appropriate for distance Reiki.

A distance session requires that I get information about the client ahead of time. In addition to information, a session time is set up to actually send/receive the Reiki.

Reiki Session Guidelines:

Pre-session

• Dress in clothing that is comfortable and suitable for lying down for approximately an hour. Most sessions will entail lying on your back for part of the session and on your stomach for part as well.
• Try not to eat a large meal within at least 2-4 hours before the session. Fruit is okay in a moderate quantity.
• It is not a good idea to drink caffeine and definitely not good to drink alcohol before a session.
• If you need to use the restroom, please do so. It is better to start a couple of minutes late than to interrupt a session if possible.

Session

• You may need a blanket to keep warm, a bolster under your knees for the comfort of your back or other types of comfort tools. If at any time you become uncomfortable please let me know so that I may take action to resolve the situation.
• I often play soft music during a session. Some people are sensitive to music and sounds. If there is a problem with the music or lack of it please let me know. I have a variety of styles to choose from.
• If at any time you feel the need to communicate something to me during your session, please do so. There is no harm in talking during a session and it can be helpful to us both if you feel the urge to give me some information.
• If you need to use the restroom during the session, please let me know. I would rather that we interrupt the session to keep you comfortable and help your mind relax than have you distracted.

Post-session

• Rise slowly and allow yourself to get your bearings before getting off of the table.
• Drink some water immediately after your session and increase your normal water intake over the next 12-24 hours.
• Pay attention to any thoughts and feelings and be physically aware of yourself for the next 24 hours. You may experience emotional, physical, or spiritual changes or break-throughs.
• Call me if you have any questions or wish to discuss anything regarding your session or how you reacted to it.
• Some clients feel energized after a Reiki session and others feel deeply relaxed and ready for a nap. Each person will feel and react differently.
