How to Get the Most Out of Your Reiki Session:
During a session with a Reiki practitioner, energy channels through the practitioner’s hands to the client. The hands are placed gently on or above the energy chakras of the body (similar to the energy centers treated with acupuncture).
For the best results it is helpful to walk into a Reiki appointment open minded and well rested. Share with your practitioner any issues you have been dealing with. These issues can be physical, mental, spiritual or emotional. Breathe deeply and calmly during your session. Many people neglect to take deep breaths during a session, but feel free to let out a loud exhale or inhale if you feel drawn to do so.
Trust the person giving you the energy healing session (if you have already identified their credentials before the session begins). You don't need to "help" the practitioner during the session if they place their hands under your head or back; just relax your muscles and let the practitioner do all the work.
If emotions surface during the session, allow them to be expressed. If you need to cry or laugh, let it happen organically. To achieve best results, you can say to yourself before the session, "I accept this healing for my highest and greatest good." This helps to get rid of any energy barriers you may be holding up that could interfere with the session. If you are spiritual, you can ask your guides and angels to be present during the healing.
After your session be sure to drink lots of water. Fresh squeezed lemon in your water is excellent for cleansing your body after a session. You can also help your body release more toxins by taking sea salt baths after a Reiki session. Results can be felt immediately, and with regular Reiki sessions, significant healing can take place.
