The following is an explanation of what you might expect from a Reiki treatment. A full treatment usually lasts between thirty and nintey minutes. The Reiki practitioner places their hands gently and passively on or above different locations on the body, usually beginning at the head. Each position is held for at least three to five minutes. The person being treated may experience a variety of sensations such as warmth or tingling flowing from the Reiki practitioner's hands.
Most people say that they experience a very deep state of relaxation, and a feeling of well being.
The mind calms, the breathing slows down, and a feeling of being centered is attained. By receiving regular Reiki treatments, a person can attain many of the benefits equivalent to three to four hours sleep, such as increased oxygen supply to the blood and cells. This makes Reiki a most effective natural stress reliever. Regular use of Reiki leads to an increase in general vitality and well being and a sense of inner peace. It greatly accelerates and promotes the healing process and regeneration of tissue, and is capable of improving the quality of one's life to an amazing degree.
