The distance symbol is used to cross any distance in time or space. It allows Reiki Masters to clear blockages from someone's past, as well as perform reiki on someone who is not physically present. Distance Reiki works according to an ancient principle that we are all connected, as we are all made of energy. Distance Reiki session allows the practitioner to link up to the energy field of the recipient.

Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table and remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. The whole treatment usually lasts between 30 and 90 minutes.

The goal of the session is relaxation, so there likely won’t be much talking. Relaxing music will be playing in the background. It’s important that you tell the practitioner if you need any adjustments at any point during the session. Your comfort is the most important thing, so if you’re uncomfortable for any reason, like if you’re too hot or cold, or the position you’re lying in is uncomfortable, I ask you to let me know. As I work around the body, you may feel a warm, pulsing energy coming from your hand,head or feet. All these sensations are very comforting, and they don’t mean anything other than that the Reiki [energy] is really flowing.Some people fall asleep; others enter a deep meditative state. For this reason, practitioners will gently awaken people once the session is over. If possible, go home and relax after your Reiki session. If you can’t go straight home, try to avoid stressful errands or tasks — or build in a nonstressful buffer activity before returning to your typical routine. For example, if you have to go back to work, stop and have lunch on your way.

Chakra Spinning is a modality of Energy Healing to channel energy directly into the Chakras in order to balance the flow. It clears unwanted energy, remove blockages, and allow the flow of the fans to function evenly throughout the body. This is a very specific process of intentional clearing and re-directing the energy outside the body before it enters the Chakras.

The effects from a Reiki session usually are strongest during the seven to ten days immediately following the session. Many clients come weekly while they are working on a wellness improvement plan. Some clients choose to come monthly to maintain their overall wellness or just to relieve tension.
