What Does Reiki Feel Like?
Many people who have not yet had the opportunity to experience a Reiki (spiritually guided universal life force energy) session themselves wonder what Reiki feels like. A typical Reiki session will feel a bit different for each person and it may feel slightly different from one session to another depending upon what is happening with you at the time, your own specific needs and how the energy will choose to flow through you. You can rest assured that you will always enjoy a soothing warmth and deep relaxation following each session that will allow you to heal where you need it most.
In your Reiki session, you will remain fully clothed at all times. There is no need for you to remove clothing for the Reiki to flow through you. You will be asked to remove your shoes and it is best to remove any heavy jewelry or not to wear any jewelry at all. You will then simply lie down and relax; your work is now done.
There is a range of sensations that you might expect to feel during your session. You may feel all or none of these during your session. Many people become so relaxed they simply fall asleep. Some might not experience these sensations during their session, but will notice a physical difference the next day. It just depends on you and how your body, mind and spirit choose to heal in their own perfect way.
Some of the sensations you might expect are:
- Soothing warmth
- Focused area of heat
- Tingling
- Pressure
- Tension
- Release
- Prickliness or itching
- Cold
- Sense of Reiki flowing through arms or legs and releasing through fingertips or feet
- Energy swirling
- Peace
- Joy
- Calm
- Sense of well-being
You will leave your session feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and completely soothed. Drink lots of water following your session as Reiki helps to detoxify your system. Pay attention to your driving as you will be deeply relaxed - no speeding tickets on your way home please!
Remember to take good care of yourself and pay attention to any changes you feel following your Reiki session, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. You might want to keep a journal so you can track how the Reiki is healing you and helping you move forward along your perfect life path. Note everything - is your thinking clearer, are you performing better at your workouts, do you have less pain, do you sleep better, have you found an answer to something that has been troubling you, are your relationships improving, are things going better at work, do you have greater joy in life and an overall better sense of well being? By keeping track of where you are and how your life is improving, you will be better able to see how Reiki helps you.
