Reiki formed the original foundation for the rest of the energy work that I now do.
It was the first energy course that I ever studied - and doing it, felt like coming home. Reiki created a framework to allow me to understand what I had been sensing intuitively all my life - and from there, to begin to work with this and the underlying energy.
Reiki is both subtle, and immensely powerful.
During a "typical" reiki treatment, you would find yourself lying down, or sitting comfortably whilst the practioner works either just above the body, or lightly touching. You remain fully clothed, and if you choose, may be covered with a light blanket, or sheet for the sake of comfort. A typical session could last from 45mins to an hour, occasionally longer.
Different people experience different sensations, some experience nothing beyond a sense of warmth and comfort. Some experience strong emotions which can bring tears and deep emotional releases. Some people simply fall asleep, feeling afterwards as though they have slept for a full night. Each session is unique to you.
