Reiki Curious?

Let’s Answer Some Common Questions

✨ What is Reiki, exactly?

Reiki (pronounced RAY-kee) is a Japanese energy healing practice that promotes balance and healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. The word comes from:

  • Rei – Universal, spiritual wisdom

  • Ki – Life force energy (similar to chi or prana)

    Reiki works by channeling this energy through the practitioner’s hands (either with light touch or hovering) to help release energetic blockages, calm the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing abilities.

✨ Do I have to believe in anything for Reiki to work?

Nope. Reiki isn’t a belief system or religion. It’s simply energy—universal life force—that flows through all living things. People of all backgrounds and faiths benefit from Reiki. All that’s needed is an open mind and willingness to receive.

✨ What does a session feel like?

Every person experiences Reiki a little differently, but common sensations include:

  • Warmth, tingling, or gentle waves of energy

  • A feeling of deep relaxation or peace

  • Emotions rising (and being gently released)

  • A sense of being more grounded or “cleared out”

    Some people fall asleep. Others feel insights or images arise. There’s no right or wrong way to receive—it’s your own unique experience.

✨ What are the benefits?

Reiki is known to support:

  • Stress and anxiety relief

  • Burnout recovery and emotional healing

  • Physical pain reduction and immune support

  • Spiritual clarity and self-awareness

  • Restful sleep and nervous system regulation

  • Grief processing and trauma integration

It’s not a replacement for medical care but can beautifully complement it.

✨ Is Reiki safe?

Yes. Reiki is gentle, non-invasive, and safe for all ages and conditions. You remain fully clothed and always in control of your session. It can be offered in-person or remotely with similar effects.

✨ Can Reiki help if I’m burned out, grieving, or feeling stuck?

Absolutely. Many clients come to Reiki during transitions, heartbreak, or exhaustion—when they’ve given too much or lost connection to themselves. Reiki can help restore your energy, clear emotional clutter, and reconnect you to your inner compass.

✨What is Distance Reiki?

Distance Reiki is a form of energy healing that works beyond the limits of time and space. Just as an in-person Reiki session channels universal life force energy through the practitioner’s hands, distance Reiki allows this healing energy to be sent and received remotely. Using focused intention, visualization, and established Reiki techniques, the practitioner connects energetically with the recipient—no matter where they are in the world.

Clients often describe distance Reiki as calming, grounding, and deeply restorative. Sessions can support stress relief, emotional balance, physical well-being, and spiritual connection. Because energy is not bound by geography, distance Reiki makes healing accessible even if you cannot be physically present, whether due to travel, illness, or preference for receiving healing in the comfort of your own space.

✨ I’m still not sure—how do I know if Reiki is right for me?
