What does a Reiki session look like?
Reiki is real. It's also invisible. And it works.
My first exposure to Reiki was in May 2019. A friend had offered me a Reiki session and I almost said no out of embarrassment. At the time, I was experiencing abdominal pain and I was afraid I’d pass gas and humiliate myself. Fortunately, I said yes.
After twenty minutes of Reiki, the abdominal pain was gone.
I could feel the Reiki energy.
This first experience receiving Reiki was comfortable, easy, and soothing. My friend, the Reiki practitioner, explained each step of the process. Rather than feeling self-conscious about trying something new, I felt fascinated.
Her hands never touched my body (they hovered), yet I could FEEL the Reiki energy.
She walked me through some visualizations and breathing exercises. Looking back, the visualizations were a productive way to occupy my mind while my body absorbed the benefits of Reiki.
The abdominal pain quietly faded away (and did not return.)
Two months later, I started Reiki training.
Learning Reiki.
Learning Reiki felt natural and nourishing. Even so, learning new skills requires patience and practice. Daily meditation made all of the difference in my growth. Through meditation, I became comfortable with stillness. I became more comfortable with myself. And quieting my mind allowed my senses to rest and recalibrate.
Reiki is real. It is also invisible.
In the early days, I wished that I could see Reiki energy. Then, a few years ago, I began to sketch, intuitively, while practicing self-Reiki.
The Reiki vibration loves color. My sketches are not intended to represent Reiki visually. Instead, I sketch the energy that I feel in my hands 🙌 when Reiki is flowing. The energy comes to life through my colored pencils on paper.
When & why do people seek Reiki?
BALANCE ~ clearing and aligning energy
RESET ~ getting out of a slump
FOCUS ~ improving concentration, relieving anxiety
WELLNESS ~ reducing fatigue, improving sleep, managing stress
SELF-CARE ~ allowing the Reiki energy to go where it is needed the most
Reiki is non-invasive, gentle, and guided by intention. Each Reiki session begins with a conversation on intentions; as such, each session is guided by the client’s priorities and needs.
