What is required of someone to benefit from Reiki? Nothing is required. Children and animals also benefit from Reiki. Anyone from any background or belief system may be helped and anyone can learn Reiki to help themselves or others. How is Reiki administered? In person: A relaxing room is prepared with quiet music in the background. Andrea discusses what has brought you in for Reiki and any intentions you may have for your session. Next, you lay fully-clothed on a massage table. Andrea allows Reiki to flow from her hands while lightly placing them on or near your body utilizing various hand positions. The whole body is treated in just under an hour and the session concludes with a short discussion and answers to any questions you may have. Andrea’s sessions are intuitively guided so she focuses on areas in the most need and shares her impessions with you as well. Distance Reiki:

Enjoy the benefits of Reiki no matter where you live! These sessions are powerful and unique in that you may receive the full benefits of a Reiki session while in your own environment. There is no driving or preparation for you to do and because Reiki is energy, it is not limited by distance from the practitioner. Prayer and sending positive thoughts to support others are similar examples of this phenomenon but instead, Reiki energy is used for the benefit of the receiver. When we schedule your appointment, we will discuss any intentions you may have for the session. What is animal Reiki? Animals of all kinds benefit from Reiki, too. They often have issues that go unnoticed and may be expressed as unwanted behaviors and/or anxiety. Reiki may also help your animal with physical conditions, pain relief, abandonment issues, potty habits and more, but is not a replacement for proper veterinary care. What does Reiki feel like? Perceptions vary from person to person. However, deep relaxation is most widely reported. Often, physical sensations of warmth and/or tingling are also felt. Some people relax into sleep. After Reiki, it is common to feel well rested and more balanced and easy going. Is Reiki Safe? Reiki is absolutely safe because it is a practice based solely on life force energy which is naturally inherent in all living things. Rarely, a person may experience a headache, stomachache, or feel tired. This is due to an influx of stored toxins into the bloodstream from blocked energy releasing. The body will flush these out and it is recommended to rest and drink more water for a few days. If this occurs, it is actually a positive sign that much healing is taking place. Can Reiki cure diseases and illness? Reiki is a complement to traditional medical care and we do not promote it as a cure for particular diseases or conditions. However, patients receiving Reiki often report an easier time coping with medical treatments, pain reduction, a more positive outlook, and an increased ability to handle stress. These effects can support a person on their healing path and enable their own bodies to respond more positively to medical treatments. It is for these reasons that an increasing number of health care facilities are promoting Reiki through their own programs. Do I need repeated sessions to see an improvement? Reiki is gentle but powerful and one session often delivers noticeable improvement. However, when we receive additional Reiki over time, we experience increased benefit. This is true for any healthy practice we choose to engage in such as exercise, meditation, or taking supplements.
