How to prepare for Distant Reiki

Distant Reiki works according to an ancient principle called the Hermetic Law of Similarity, which says that we are all connected and made of energy and part of a larger whole. Using this law, a practitioner links up to the recipient’s energy field. The benefit of Distant Reiki is you can be anywhere to receive it, and you never have to leave your home. It is as effective as an in-person session.

Reiki energy works regardless of where you are located since it transcends time and physical space. Having a session in the comfort of your home can often be more relaxing than spending time driving to get to the clinic!

If you are considering having a Distant Reiki Session, here’s what to expect :

We will schedule a time and date with you for the session. By setting up a specific time, you can be in a receptive state (such as lying down or meditating during the treatment)

How to prepare for a distant healing session?

1) Set up your space :

You’ll want a pillow for your head and perhaps a pillow or bolster for under your knees if your lower back gets tense from lying down. If you choose to be seated, make sure you choose a comfortable armchair or recliner where you can fully relax. Grab a blanket even if your space is warm since your body may go through temperature changes during the session, and you might get chilly. Keep a glass full of water for later.

2) Turn off distractions :

Let your family or roommates know that you won’t be available during this time. Turn off or mute your laptop, TV, mobile etc. Dim or switch off the lights. It is your “me time” to relax and forget about everything else. So relax!

3) Creating the atmosphere:

You can diffuse your favourite essential oils to create a relaxing space. You can play calming meditation music if you like.

4) Give yourself permission to receive Reiki:

Approach your Distant Reiki session with an open mind, free from skepticism or doubt. Focusing on thoughts like “When will it start?” or “I don’t feel anything” can impede your ability to fully relax and reap the benefits of the experience. Reiki energy is universal life force energy that can never cause harm. It will only do you good.

You can say an affirmation like – I am open to receiving healing on the physical, emotional and mental levels.

After the session:

When you feel ready, take three gentle deep breaths and become aware of your body. Drink a glass of water. If you want, you can write down any insights or feelings you may have experienced during the session. Now you can go about your day knowing that Reiki energy is working on you behind the scenes.

You don’t need to be sick to experience the benefits of Reiki. Reiki is like a spa for the soul. Distant Reiki is an excellent way to experience the uplifting sensation of feeling balanced in your mind, body and spirit.

Regular sessions can amplify that blissful feeling of harmony that comes when you feel everything is right with the world.
