What does a reiki treatment involve?
A reiki treatment is often described as a ‘laying on of hands’ ‘though it is not necessary for the practitioner to actually touch you, and because it is a non intrusive therapy, you can remain fully clothed throughout the treatment (except shoes and any heavy jewelry). Although Reiki can be given to you in any comfortable position, for example sitting in a chair, it is usual to lay covered on a healing table, or massage bed whilst healing energy is drawn through the practitioner via a number of hand positions to both the back and front of your body. For the treatment it is recommended that you wear warm but loose fitting clothing. Before your first treatment, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and to find out more about Reiki, after which there will be a consultation in which you will be invited to describe not only your symptoms, but any underlying cause that you feel may be significant, since Reiki works on the mental and emotional levels in addition to the physical.
