- The practitioner will simply place their hands on or above your head, shoulders, chest, stomach and feet, allowing the Reiki energy to flow wherever it is required.
- Whilst the effects vary from each individual, most may feel tingling or a pulsing sensation, a feeling of warmth and comfort or may fall asleep.

WHAT IS DISTANT REIKI?

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR DISTANT REIKI SESSION?

As the session will be done from a distance, you can find a comfortable space in your home or outside and relax for one hour. You can sleep during the session or stay awake - this will not impact the results of the session.
Some clients like to listen to meditation music and others sit or lay down in silence. It is completely your choice!
Once the session has finished, please remember to drink a glass of water to stay hydrated.
