The healing energies are not bound by space nor time and give the same results in both 'hands on' and distance healing. The Reiki practitioner can direct the energies to a specific place or problem in the body, and the energies also go to where the body is most out of balance. The healing energies go to the source of the problem and not just the manifesting symptoms. The number of treatments depends upon the cause of the problem and the amount of energy needed to restore the well-being. The sensations felt when receiving Reiki energy can be different for different people.
Many people feel a pleasant sensation of warmth or gentle tingling in the treated area.
A sense of relaxation and well-being can be felt as stress and tension are released, and the energy in the body is balanced. Results of a Reiki treatment can be felt immediately or after a longer period of time, depending on the nature of the problem. Reiki treatments do not have negative side effects. It is a completely safe and natural way of treating disease. Everything in our universe is made up entirely of energy.
