The client lays fully clothed on a plinth or treatment table. In a general healing the practitioner places their hands on various parts of the body from the head through to the feet. Both the front and back of the body are treated. Often a practitioner will dowse the chakras (check the energy centres by means of a pendulum) to ascertain if a particular centre is open, closed or blocked.

Short seated sessions can also be conducted depending on a clients needs and time factors. Often a Reiki short session can be combined with a massage treatment. If there is a specific physical ailment then more time will be spent on this part of the body to ensure a good flow of movement and energy at this point. A Reiki session can also include mental and/or emotional clearing as well as issues of a spiritual nature. In addition if the client has experienced negative relationship turmoil then a cutting of the negative ties ceremony can be used.

A full history form needs to be completed at the first visit and the goals and needs of a client will be ascertained. A programme will then be put in place tailored to meet the individual needs of each client. Each treatment has a different effect and therefore it is often necessary to have four treatments consecutively in order to feel the real benefits, again depending on individual goals. We are all different and unique and therefore each person will respond differently to the batch of treatments.
