About Reiki Sessions	Reiki sessions are a time to allow your body, your mind and your spirit to simply relax, release your worries, and improve your overall sense of well-being. It can be especially helpful when situational stress is a constant, however temporary, in your life.
Sessions takes place on	a table or chair... fully clothed, without shoes, and with a blanket for warmth. With gentle music playing in the background, the recipient will begin by lying on their back. The practitioner then works various hand positions beginning from the top of the recipient's head, working down the torso, and ending at the feet. The recipient will turn onto their belly and the practitioner will repeat the process from head to feet.
Reactions...	Some clients fall asleep during treatment as the stress begins to leave their body. Others have inspiring visions or just talk. Still others cry pure emotion without attachment to any apparent cause. However experienced, energy that had been previously held as body stress is easily released. Each person has their own unique set of needs and each will experience Reiki appropriately.
A session from a Practitioner's point of view...	In a routine Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands in specific positions on the head, neck, shoulders, abdomen, hips, legs and feet. If a recipient has specific concerns different hand positions and locations can be used. Throughout, each position is held for a few minutes or so - it depends on the energy flow at the site underneath the practitioner's hands. A typical session takes about an hour and benefits the client and the practitioner.
A session from the Recipient's point of view...	A treatment is deeply relaxing. The more a recipient trust's their practitioner, the more unique the experience can be for both. Reiki is often an extraordinary experience. To say that it simply releases physical tensions, emotional worries and renews the spirit feels, to me, like a great understatement. It is an energy that comes directly from the highest spiritual source that goes where it is most needed. Reiki is known to heal the causes of problems on whatever level they may exist; physical, mental, or spiritual.
When I have received Reiki...	It has been my experience to see different colors swirling around inside. I usually chose to follow them and get "lost" in the sensations of the colors as the treatment continues. When the session is complete, I feel as though I've just been away on a fabulous two week vacation and am eager to face the world again. ~ Martha
