Q
Is it safe to receive Reiki if I am pregnant/sad/have a headache/PMS/Menopausal ?
A
Reiki is very gentle yet effective energy healing. It is non-invasive, it involves no manipulation of the physical body and is safe during pregnancy, for children, and even for pets. Reiki works with the body’s own healing ability and always works to the highest good of the receiver, in line with their commitment to their own healing. If you are well enough to leave your home, and are not contagious, then getting a reiki treatment is great idea as it can help harmonise any physical ailment and/or hormonal, nervous system or emotional imbalance you may be experiencing.
Q
What will be the effects of my Reiki Treatment?
A
What you will experience varies between people but the majority of people who experience Reiki report a feeling of calmness, deep relaxation and a deep sense of serenity during and after the treatment. Many people fall asleep during the treatment and wake up feeling calm and slowly more refreshed. The reiki energy can help clear blockages associated with feelings of anxiety, stress, worry and fear, resulting in a more restful and lighter state of being. The more relaxed you are, the more permission you are giving this universal life force to work to your highest good, allowing greater healing to take place. Whatever comes up for you during and after the treatment, the key is not to resist, to allow, so healing can take place. Majority of what comes to the surface for healing will be gentle and will not be anything the person cannot handle.
Q
What will I feel during a Reiki Treatment?
A
Sometimes the person can feel some heat or some coldness from the practitioners hands, slight sensations of pulsation of energy, or they may experience a gentle sinking or floating feeling. Some get visual imagery in their mind's eye, thoughts/revelations that are important may come up, some see certain colour(s) vividly during their session. Some people feel and see nothing at all but rest assured the reiki energy is being received and healing is taking place whether you see or feel something or not.
