Session Time Instructions:

Your practitioner will call you promptly at the session's start time to discuss your intentions and address any questions. Please provide your best contact number and add the practitioner's number from your booking confirmation email to your contacts to avoid missing the call. Your practitioner will allow a 10-minute grace period to reach you; if unsuccessful, the appointment will be canceled. Please refer to our refund policy for full details. If you’ve purchased the Distant Reiki Lunch Special, please note that this is a contactless session, and no phone call will be made. You will receive a follow-up email within 24 hours.

The finest aspect of a distance Reiki session is that it allows both of us to unwind in the comfort of our own homes. Please relax and carry out the following:

What to do before your Reiki session:

To minimize distractions, please set your electronic devices to silent mode after our initial discussion.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and remove shoes or bulky items that may cause discomfort.

Set a timer for the duration of your session so that you will know when it is over.

Consider taking a moment to examine how your body is feeling and write down any feelings, ideas, or sensations you are having. You may find it helpful to compare it to how you may feel in a few days.

Make sure you have eaten and hydrated a few hours before your session so that you're not distracted by hunger. However, avoid eating a large meal before your session since you don't want all of your body's energy to go into digesting while you're receiving treatment.

For optimal results, please avoid recreational drugs and alcohol for 24 hours before and after your session. However, continue taking your regular medications as prescribed. Maintaining an open mind during your Reiki session is essential to fully appreciate its effectiveness.

Lay down quietly in a relaxed position with arms at your sides. To allow energy to flow, do not interlace your feet. You are free to rest on your bed, couch, or any other cozy surface. For your comfort, consider placing a pillow beneath your legs and head, then gently close your eyes. Additionally, you might want to have a blanket nearby in case you begin to feel cold.

Simply unwind and take a few deep breaths to cleanse your body. Be open to receiving Reiki energy. Try to let go of any thoughts that may come to mind. Simply be; don't feel obligated to think about anything in particular.

After Session Instructions:

Take a few long, cleansing breaths when the session is over, and then slowly get up.

Drink water thereafter to aid with grounding and over the next few days. Water aids in the elimination of toxins and released energy from your body.

It’s often helpful to spend some time after the session reflecting, whether that means journaling, going for a walk, or meditating on any insights you had during the experience.

Reiki continues to work through your body after a session, often at a subconscious level, enhancing your healing in ways that are not always immediately visible. Staying in a peaceful state can help you fully embrace its benefits.

Remember: Reiki energy helps the body release blockages, gently bringing underlying issues to the surface for healing and restoring balance naturally. You may experience a period of cleansing, which might include feeling more emotional, noticing changes in your energy levels, or having vivid dreams. Trust that the Reiki energy you receive is perfectly suited to you and your needs. Each person's experience is unique. Some might quickly feel stress relief and deep relaxation, often feeling calm, clear-headed, refreshed, or occasionally drowsy. You may also notice improved digestion, a greater sense of grounding, and deeper sleep that night. Feeling more tired in the evening is normal and reflects the body’s natural healing process.

Animal Reiki

Reiki complements veterinary and behavioral care but does not replace it. Always consult your veterinarian or behaviorist with any concerns about your animal companion's health or behavior. When animals have received all the Reiki they need, they usually walk away to lie down, feeling deeply relaxed or fall asleep. Cats often signal the end of a session by engaging in another activity. Your pet may get up during the session, and that's perfectly okay—they are in control of their experience. It's important to observe them, as they might return to the Reiki area if they want more. Make sure they have access to water if they get thirsty. Remember, I am connecting with your pet energetically with the best intentions for their well-being. Please honor their comfort and do not force them to stay in the area to receive Reiki. Their session will unfold exactly as it should. While Reiki doesn't alter the course of nature, it can help maintain and improve the quality of life.

Preparing Your Pet for Distant Reiki:

Create a Calm Space: Ensure your pet is in a quiet, comfortable spot, free from distractions. It’s best if they’ve already had a walk or playtime. Animals in enclosures or confined spaces may remain inside.

Set the Intention: Focus on your intention for the session, such as healing or relaxation, and let your pet know you’re here to support them.

Stay Present: It’s generally preferred that the guardian remain present during the session to help create a calm, supportive environment for your pet. However, if your pet is more comfortable without your presence, the session can still proceed effectively. For more information on this, please refer to our FAQ.

Set a timer for the duration of the session so you know when it is over, but also observe your animal closely. They will often indicate when they have received enough Reiki by their behavior and body language.

Expect Natural Reactions: Your pet may yawn, sigh deeply, or have stomach rumbling sounds. These are normal signs of receiving energy, but each pet reacts differently. If your pet doesn’t display these reactions, it’s perfectly okay—it doesn’t mean the Reiki isn’t working. Every pet absorbs and responds to energy in their own way.

Relax and Observe: During the session, trust the process.

Animal Reiki After Session Instructions:

Allow your pet to continue resting after the session if they choose.

Ensure the pet has access to fresh water.

Observe any changes in your pet’s behavior or mood. Reiki works subtly, so stay attuned to their needs. Sometimes, there may be an immediate change in your animal, but this is not guaranteed.
