Frequently asked questions
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing technique that promotes balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. Originating in Japan, Reiki works by channeling universal life energy to support the body's natural healing processes.
What should I wear during my session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You will remain fully clothed during your session, except for removing shoes and jewellery for maximum relaxation and energy flow.
Is Reiki a religion?
No, Reiki is not a religion. It is an energy healing practice that transcends religious beliefs. Asking if Reiki is a religion is similar to asking if a medical doctor practices a religion when treating patients. Reiki is a holistic technique that works with energy flow in the body. While some may see it as a placebo effect, scientific studies have shown Reiki’s benefits in reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, and promoting overall well-being.
Is there any risk in receiving Reiki?
No, Reiki has no risks. It is a gentle, non-invasive healing method that supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. Unlike some medical treatments, Reiki does not involve physical manipulation, medications, or invasive procedures. Instead, it encourages relaxation and balance.
Can my child receive Reiki?
Yes, Reiki is safe and beneficial for children, even from infancy. Many parents find that Reiki helps their children with relaxation, sleep, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Can I receive Reiki if I'm pregnant?
Yes, Reiki is completely safe for pregnant women. Many expectant mothers experience comfort, relaxation, and emotional support through Reiki during pregnancy.
As a Reiki Practitioner, can you diagnose an illness?
No, Reiki practitioners do not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe treatments. Just as your heart knows how to beat and your stomach knows how to digest food, Reiki energy intuitively flows to where healing is needed. Reiki complements traditional medical care but should not replace professional medical advice.
How long does it take before I can feel the difference?
The experience varies from person to person. Many clients report feeling a deep sense of calm and relaxation after just one session. Others notice subtle yet profound shifts after two or three sessions, with friends and family often observing positive changes as well.
Can Reiki be used alongside medical treatments?
Yes, Reiki is a complementary therapy that works well alongside medical treatments. It does not interfere with medications or procedures but instead enhances relaxation and supports the body's natural healing processes.
Can Reiki substitute my medical treatment / Medicine?
No, do not stop any medication prescribed by your doctor. Reiki works best as a supportive therapy alongside medical treatment. Many people have reported experiencing reduced side effects and an improved recovery process.
Can Reiki help with emotional healing?
Absolutely. Reiki is known for its ability to help with emotional release, stress reduction, and trauma healing. Many clients experience relief from anxiety, grief, and emotional blockages through Reiki sessions.
How many Reiki sessions do I need?
This depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people feel immediate benefits from a single session, while others prefer ongoing Reiki treatments for deeper healing and balance.
Can Reiki be done remotely?
Yes, Reiki can be performed remotely through a technique called distance healing. Energy is not bound by time or space, allowing Reiki practitioners to send healing energy to clients regardless of their physical location.
Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No, belief is not required for Reiki to be effective. While an open mind can enhance the experience, Reiki energy flows naturally and benefits the recipient whether or not they consciously believe in it.
