What to expect during a Reiki healing is a great question! Every Reiki practitioner will work a little differently, and it’s important to find someone who you connect or vibe with.
Come inside, wait and relax!
At Melbourne Reiki and Wellness, we encourage you to arrive a few minutes early so you can find a carpark, come inside, and wait in the waiting room. The waiting room itself is very calming, and you can relax next to our garden with plants and trees, encouraging you to take some deep breaths and clear your mind before your Reiki treatment.
Start with a check-in
Your practitioner will come and get you when it’s time for your appointment. You’ll be guided into our Reiki room, and have a chance to sit down and take a moment to check in. Your Reiki practitioner will explain what to expect during the Reiki healing. They will also ask you how you’re feeling, and you’ll have a chance to chat about anything that is going on for you. Your healer will also ask you if there is anything you would like them to focus on in the Reiki session.
Get comfy on the Reiki table!
When ready, you will take off your shoes (you can leave your socks on!), and lie down on our Reiki table. You’ll find a comfortable pillow to rest your head, and a yoga bolster to prop up your knees for extra comfort. Your Reiki practitioner will place an eye mask over your eyes, blanket over your body, and guide you to take a couple of deep, slow breaths to relax. You will also notice relaxing music playing during your session.
A very special, infra-red crystal amethyst mat
Our Reiki table at Melbourne Reiki and Wellness is very special indeed! We have an infra-red, crystal amethyst mat, which is heated to roughly 42 degrees (slightly warmer than body temperature), and the entire mat is made up of first grade AA amethyst crystals! Amethyst crystals are a master healing stone, and they help to open up your intuition and third eye. They also amplify energy (Reiki!), and you’ll find it extremely calming. Many of our clients fall asleep very fast on this infra-red amethyst mat!
Reiki healing treatment
Your Reiki healer will then channel Reiki energy through their hands to you. You may or may not notice your practitioner’s hands resting gently on or hovering slightly above your body. During the session, you might feel some heat or cold, tingling sensations, or even feel like you’re floating off the table! Stomach rumbling is a great sign that energy is moving, and you might see colours, images, or have random memories pop to the surface. Many people also fall asleep, and drooling, snoring, and twitching are all completely normal!
Debrief afterwards
After your Reiki session, your healer will again guide you to take a deep breath to bring you back to your body. You’ll have a chance to drink some water, and debrief with your practitioner. You can share whatever you felt and experienced on the table, and they will give you their insights, and guidance on next steps.
Drink plenty of water
Every Reiki session will be a little different! Just ensure you drink plenty of water before hand, and try not to rush to another appointment straight afterwards, as you may feel a little tired!
