Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Reiki session entail?
Our distance Reiki healing session will be conducted through Zoom. You can sit or lay down for the session, whatever is most comfortable for you. You don’t have to do anything but try to rest and relax. You can meditate if you like, or try to pay attention to anything you may be feeling. If your mind wanders that’s completely normal and okay too! The Reiki will work regardless.
I start by scanning your aura and energy field. I’ll use different Reiki and Japanese symbols to promote different kinds of healing for the seven chakras, starting at the root chakra and going up to the crown chakra. One of my objectives is to balance the energy in each chakra, so your energy flows freely between them all. When I’m done we’ll chat for a bit about the session and anything that may have come up.
How can I tell if the Reiki is working or helping?
People often might hope for or expect an incredible life changing experience during a Reiki session. Those moments can absolutely happen, but most often the healing is more subtle and happens on a deeper level.
Some physical signs you may notice during or after a Reiki session could be: warmth or tingling in your hands or body, deep relaxation or even a floating sensation, changes in body temperature, or involuntary movements, such as twitching, sighing, or stomach gurgles (which can be a sign of energy moving).
Some emotional or mental signs you may notice during or after a Reiki session could be: a sense of peace or clarity, feeling lighter or more positive, possible crying, laughing, or other wave of emotion (another sign of energy shifting), or increased intuition and connection to your inner wisdom.
Some energetic or spiritual signs you may notice during or after a Reiki session could be: vivid dreams, images, or visions, a feeling of your energy being reset or renewed, or a stronger connection to yourself or a higher power.
Noticing and understanding some of these signs can take focus and practice. It looks different for every person, and can even look different from session to session. It's absolutely natural for our minds to wander, but I recommend gently trying to pay attention to your body and mind during and after a session. Are you experiencing any images, sensations, colors, or random thoughts? Are any past memories popping up for you? Listen to anything your intuition may be trying to tell you during the quiet of a Reiki session.
Do you get the same benefits from a virtual session as you do in person?
Amazingly, yes! One of the Reiki symbols a Reiki practitioner uses is the Distance healing symbol. This symbol allows Reiki to be channeled across both distance and time. With this symbol, a virtual session is exactly like the Reiki practitioner is physically with you. The Distance healing symbol can also heal pain and trauma from past experiences. It's a powerful symbol that I use in all my sessions!
