General Reiki Questions:

​

Q: What is Reiki?

​

A: Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body's natural healing abilities. It originated in Japan and is based on the principle that universal life energy flows through all living things. A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for this energy, facilitating healing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

​

  • Stress reduction and relaxation

Q: Is Reiki safe?

​

A: Yes, Reiki is considered a very safe healing modality. It is non-invasive and gentle, and there are no known contraindications. It can be used alongside other medical treatments without interference.

Q: How does remote Reiki work?

​

Q: Can Reiki really be done at a distance?

​

A: Reiki is not limited by physical distance. The practitioner uses specific symbols and techniques to connect with your energy field remotely, allowing the healing energy to flow to you regardless of location. It is based on the understanding that energy is not bound by time or space. Think of it like sending a radio signal – the signal is transmitted and received even though there is no physical connection.

​

Q: Is remote Reiki as effective as in-person Reiki?

​

A: Yes, many people find remote Reiki to be just as effective as in-person sessions. The energy works in the same way, regardless of the practitioner's physical proximity. Many clients report experiencing the same sensations and benefits from remote sessions as they do from in-person sessions.

​

Q: What do I need to do to prepare for a remote Reiki session?

A: To prepare for a remote Reiki session:

​

  • Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax undisturbed for the duration of the session.

  • Wear comfortable clothing.

  • You may want to light a candle, play soft music, or create a relaxing atmosphere.

  • It's helpful to set an intention for the session – what would you like to focus on healing or improving?

​​

Q: What happens during a remote Reiki session?

​

A: At the scheduled time, you will simply relax in your chosen space. The practitioner will connect with your energy remotely and begin the Reiki session. You may feel sensations, or you may simply experience deep relaxation. After the session, the practitioner may contact you to discuss your experience.

Our Cancellation Policy:

​

Our cancellation policy requires a notice of at least 48 hours for any changes or cancellations to your scheduled remote Reiki healing appointment. If cancellation occurs after this 48-hour window, the full fee for the session will be charged. Please bear in mind that distant Reiki healing can be done while you are at home, out and about, or whilst taking care of a difficult situation.

We could skip the video call or phone call of your online Reiki session and focus on the treatment only. In fact, remote Reiki healing can provide additional support during such times.
