REIKI THERAPY SESSION -- WHAT TO EXPECT

Now to speak about what you can expect by undergoing a reiki healing session.  Reiki therapy can be administered by any person trained In Reiki and the healer can be of any back ground, he or she might be well qualified doctor in Western Medicine or a practitioner of alternate medical system like Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani or, Siddha, etc or a qualified nurse or somebody without any medical background, might be your friend or a neighbor.  Every session is unique to every individual.  Yourself and your friend might be undergoing Reiki healing for influenza, you might be requiring one hour of treatment but your friend might be requiring more that or lesser than that.  

How to Select a Reiki therapist?

It is always better to make a survey of Reiki healers available in your area.  First see for their credentials.  Whether the healer is a practitioner or healer cum trainer.  A practitioner level healer is enough for healing purpose.  Also see to it that the clinic of the healer is near your work place or your residence.  You can also undergo healing by nn professional practitioners if you desire so  and if one of them is well known a friend or relative that itself will help to enjoy good healing session as you can frankly speak with them about your fears worries and expectation

Envirionment

Some healers prefer a musical bacground while administering a therapy session.  Some prefer absolute silence.  But nothing wrong if you tell them your preference of either silent environment or musical background the therapist will definitely oblige to your request.

What information to be provide to your therapist.

Before accepting to treat you the therapist will conduct an interview in which he/she will question you abour problems, your life style any interpersonal problem both at work and in home.  Healer will be serious about going through any diagnostic resport you have undergone and the advice given to you by your doctor. Therapist also will like to know about your expectation regarding the outcome of healing sessions.  If you have any specific expectation than please inform the practitioner.  Practitioner will also explain to you what is going to be done during the session both what he is going to do and what you are going to do.  Almost many healers nowadays ask to give a written description of the problems experienced by the client

Whenever I accept to heal a ptient I ask them to come for the session clothed with loose fitting cloth.  Once I make tjhem to lie down I ask them about their preference for touch healing whether they won’t mind my hands actually touching their body or whether I can hover my hands over their body.  For women I alwaysprefer to hover my hands over their body because in India women don’t like the idea of men touching their body for any reason.  So before undergoing a session decide whether the healer can touch you or not and inform about the same

What you Might Experience during a Reiki Therapy Session

What is done during a Reiki therapy session?

During a session a healer will touch at certain number of positions in your body starting from the crown to the toe.  At every position the healer might put his hands for three to five minutes or according to necesity it might be for more length of time

What will be experienced?

Every patient will undergo unique experience.  Some people will feel heat in the hands of the healer.  Some people will experience a wam flow in the point of affliction, coolness, vibration or nothing will be felt but healing will be occuring this we call as neutral state. Frequently the patient will experience what is called as “Phantom Hand” effect of reiki.  Healer will be placing his hands over your eyes but you might experience some sensations over your left knee or any other place, because Reiki has an intelligence of its own and it will go to places where it is more required. 

In case of acute problems patients might experience immediate relief, but in the case of multiple or chronic problems or both types of  poblems  combined together it takes quite a long time at times for weeks together.  In such situations my strategy is to advice my clients for five continuous sessions and from sixth day onward regular distance healing and multiple times a day.  I have found this strategy to be very very beneficial. 

What to do during the session?

After lying down flat on your back you simply close your eyes and keep your entire body in a relaxed state both mind and body, if you are interested you can recite prayers in a low volume voice or better mentally.  During the session if you feel any discomfort you can adjust your position and you can also speak to your healer in low voice.  Actually with the progress of the session you will experience wonderful relaxation. 

After the session: 

Once the session is over the healer might give you general advice like what to eat and what not to eat and about changing life style and habits which you have to consider seriously and put into practice.  Normally after the session patients will fell refreshed.  But after sometime or in some case tiredness will be experienced and this is an issue about which we need not worry as this may be due to bodyss natural response to healing.Mostly people report about their having more calm then before and also experiencing more mental clarity and sleeping better than before.
