What to Expect During a Session at Healing Wellness Path?
If you are new to Reiki and have been hesitant to try it, the Reiki Master at Healing Wellness Path understands your concern. That's why we offer the "Explorer's Package," a one-time introductory offer that allows you to experience the wonderful benefits first hand - 2 sessions for the price of 1. This special package enables you to discover and understand this practice, helping you decide if you wish to incorporate it into your wellness regime.
At your first complimentary consultation, you will be asked to fill out an intake form. The therapist will review the form with you and address any inquiries you may have. She will then explain what you can anticipate during and after a session.
A standard session usually lasts for 1 hour, although occasionally it may extend to 90 minutes based on your body's needs and energy levels.
During the session, the client remains fully clothed while lying on a massage table and is covered by a cozy blanket for comfort.
Important to note: If you are unable to lie down due to a medical condition, the Reiki session may be conducted while in a seated position.
During the Session:
The practitioner starts the session by performing a Byosen scan.
There are 5 levels that can be detected: (these are all felt in the hands of the practitioner)
Level 1 - heat
Level 2 - strong heat
Level 3 - tingling like pins and needles
Level 4 - pulsing, throbbing sensation, sometime numbness, cold
Level 5 - pain
The byosen scanning is an effective technique for the practitioner to perceive any dis-harmony or dis-ease in the body. It is not a way to diagnose but helps the practitioner in locating and treating an area.
The information provided above will assist the practitioner in deciding whether further treatment is required. In cases where the scan indicates Level 1 or no detection, the practitioner will begin treatment at the head. However, if the practitioner identifies Level 2 or higher, they will address that area before commencing Reiki treatment at the head.
During a Reiki session, the practitioner begins by placing their hands on the client's head and ends by grounding at the feet. Energy is transferred from the practitioner to the client through gentle hand placements at various points on the body. This high-frequency energy induces deep relaxation. Due to its intensity, both clients and practitioners may experience dehydration post-session, highlighting the importance of consuming ample water following treatment.
What Can you Expect During a Session?
Relaxed
Heat
Tingling
Coolness
A lifting sensation
You may fall asleep
Your body may experience a sudden release of energy that was blocked
It is important to know that everyone is different and every session is different. If you don't experience any of the above or feel nothing, it doesn't mean that Reiki is not working.
In the course of your Reiki session, the practitioner might perform a byosen scan to confirm whether any detected energy fluctuations have been effectively dealt with. Should the practitioner feel that you need further Reiki therapy in a specific area, she will return to that spot and apply Reiki. The practitioner's aim is to rectify any energy imbalances and offer a profoundly relaxing experience. The session always concludes with the practitioner grounding the client at the feet.
After a Session:
Feeling a bit disoriented and sluggish, similar to waking up from a deep sleep, is common and expected. It is crucial for the practitioner to ground you by bringing your focus to the present moment. At Healing Wellness Path, a complementary carbonated water is offered to assist in this grounding process. Furthermore, both the client and practitioner will exchange their experiences, which will be documented in your file.
All information collected is strictly confidential.
