Frequently Asked Questions

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle Japanese healing technique that helps restore balance to your body, mind, and spirit. By channeling universal life energy through light touch or hand placement above the body, Reiki supports relaxation, stress relief, and the body’s natural healing process.

Reiki can assist with:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Easing physical tension or discomfort
  • Supporting emotional healing
  • Improving sleep and energy flow
  • Promoting overall well-being

It complements medical or therapeutic care but is not a replacement for professional medical treatment.

You’ll relax fully clothed on a massage table or in a comfortable chair. Your practitioner will gently place their hands on or just above various points on your body, allowing Reiki energy to flow where it’s most needed. Most clients describe feeling warmth, tingling, or deep calm — some even drift into sleep.

A typical Reiki session at My Reiki Hands lasts 60 minutes, though shorter or extended sessions are available upon request.

Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early to settle in. Try to drink water beforehand and avoid heavy meals. Most importantly, come with an open mind and allow yourself to simply receive.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You might feel heat, tingling, coolness, or waves of energy. Others feel emotional release, lightness, or deep peace. Each session is unique to what your body and spirit need in the moment.

Reiki is not affiliated with any religion. It’s a holistic energy practice that connects to universal life energy — available to everyone, regardless of belief system.

That depends on your goals. Some clients feel lighter and calmer after one session, while others choose a series for ongoing balance or to address deeper patterns. We can help you find what feels right for your personal journey.
