The Ultimate Guide to Getting the Most Out of Your Reiki Session
What You Should Know Before You Go!
If you’re new to Reiki, you might be wondering what to expect from a session and how to prepare. As a Reiki Master Teacher with nearly 12 years of experience, I want to help you feel at ease and make the most of your healing experience.
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being. Whether it’s your first session or you’ve had Reiki before, these tips will help you maximize the benefits of your healing journey.
How to Prepare for Your Reiki Session
1. Choose a Reputable Reiki Practitioner
Before booking, check your practitioner’s testimonials and credentials to ensure you’re receiving Reiki from a skilled and trustworthy professional. You can find a list of my Blossom Certified Energy Practitioners Here.
2. Hydrate Before Your Session
Drink a glass of water before you go. Since your body is about 62% water, staying hydrated helps energy flow smoothly during the session.
3. Wear Comfortable Clothing
Reiki is received fully clothed, so wear soft, breathable fabrics like cotton. Avoid leather belts, as energy tends to get “stuck” in leather. Dressing in layers can help you stay warm as your body relaxes.
4. Take Note of How You Feel
Before your session, write down any physical discomfort or emotions you're experiencing. This helps you track changes and notice shifts during and after the session.
5. Ask Questions
If you’re unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to ask your practitioner before, during, or after the session. Reiki is a collaborative experience, and understanding the process can enhance your comfort and results.
During Your Reiki Session
6. Share Your Experience (If You’d Like)
It’s okay to offer feedback during the session! If you feel tingling, warmth, or an emotional release, you can let your practitioner know. Saying something like "I feel warmth in my hands even though your hands are on my shoulders" can help deepen your awareness of the energy flow.
7. Emotional Release is Normal
If emotions arise, let them flow. Reiki can release trapped emotions, and crying during a session is completely normal and healing.
After Your Reiki Session
8. Reflect & Ask Questions
At the end of your session, share any insights or sensations you noticed. This can help deepen your healing experience.
9. Drink Water to Support Detoxification
Reiki helps clear stagnant energy, and drinking water afterward supports your body’s natural detox process.
10. Eat Mindfully & Rest
For 24-48 hours after your session, listen to your body. Nourish yourself with healthy foods, get plenty of rest, and avoid overstimulation. Reiki continues working after the session, so give yourself time to integrate the healing energy.
What Does Reiki Feel Like?
Most of my clients describe feeling relaxed, lighter, and at peace after a Reiki session. Some experience a sparkling sensation, warmth, or emotional clarity. Each session is unique, and the benefits often unfold over time.
Final Thoughts
Reiki is a beautiful, intuitive practice that allows energy to flow where it’s needed most. By preparing beforehand and practicing self-care after, you can enhance your healing experience and long-term benefits.
If you’re considering Reiki or have a session booked, I hope this guide helps you feel confident and excited about your journey!
