During an in-person Reiki session, you will typically lie down fully clothed on a massage table. The practitioner will place their hands lightly on or just above specific areas of your body. You might feel sensations such as warmth, tingling, or a sense of deep relaxation. These sensations occur because Reiki energy is believed to flow through the practitioner's hands to the areas where it's needed, promoting healing and balance.

Reiki is thought to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and alleviate pain, which can be beneficial for both physical and emotional issues. The energy work aims to balance the body's energy systems, which can help remove energy blockages and support the body's natural healing processes. Many people report feeling more centered, calm, and less anxious after sessions, contributing to overall well-being.

In virtual Reiki sessions, the practitioner and client connect via a video call. The client can sit or lie down comfortably at home while the practitioner performs the session from their location. Despite the distance, Reiki practitioners believe that energy is not limited by time or space, allowing them to send healing energy effectively. Clients often experience similar sensations of relaxation and energy flow as they would in person.

Yes, many practitioners and clients report that virtual Reiki sessions can be just as effective as in-person ones. The power of Reiki is in the energy transfer, which is believed to transcend physical proximity. Clients can receive the same benefits, such as stress reduction, emotional balance, and pain relief, through virtual sessions.

To prepare for a virtual Reiki session, find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a device for the video call. You may also want to have a blanket, pillow, or any comfort items nearby. Set an intention for your session and be open to receiving the energy. The practitioner will guide you through the process and ensure you're comfortable throughout the session.
