REIKI QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: What happens during a Reiki Healing Session?

Q: Can I receive Reiki Healing if I am already receiving medical treatment?

Q: How often should Reiki Healing be received?
A: As often as you are able, and as often as you wish. For further explanation, please see the Reiki Overview page.
Q: Is Reiki Healing similar to massage?
A: Reiki Healing is not massage. In Reiki Healing, the hands are merely held on or over the Recipient’s body; there is no movement or friction. The Recipient is always fully clothed.
Q: Can Reiki Healing cure physical or mental diseases?
A: Reiki Healing acts at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Reiki Energy works in accordance with karma and for the higher good of the Recipient.
Q: Is a single Reiki Healing sufficient?
A: For acute conditions, a single intensive Session can bring significant muscle relaxation and help initiate a longer healing process. For chronic conditions, a slower and more gradual result would naturally be expected, with repeated Reiki Sessions.
Q: Is Reiki Healing painful or uncomfortable? Will I feel anything?
A: Reiki is a holistic practice that restores subtle balance. It is possible to feel slight warmth or other gentle sensations. Pain or serious discomfort is unlikely.
Q: Is there a Reiki Healing routine?
A: Reiki Healing is generally given in a specific sequence from head to foot. The Healer may sense areas of imbalance and may choose to devote more time to a particular area, or to an area requested by the Recipient.
Q: Can I rest after a Reiki Healing Session?
A: Recipients may rest and enjoy a short period (about 15 minutes) of soft music or guided meditation after the Session.
Q: How will I feel after Reiki Healing?
A: One should feel an improved sense of calm, restfulness, relaxation, and general well-being. Since many biological functions depend on these conditions, some Recipients may also notice improvements in areas such as sleep, digestion, regular bodily functions, heart rate, and breathing. The effects vary from person to person.
Q: What are the long-term benefits of Reiki Healing?
A: We recommend Reiki Healing as an ongoing self-care system alongside other complementary methods to counter the daily stresses of life and to reduce accumulated physical or mental stress.
