What is Reiki

Reiki is a cosmic healing energy. The term Reiki is also used for the therapy which roots can be traced back to Tibet. When we receive this healing energy our body and spirit are invigorated and stimulated in the direction of inner Peace and Harmony. Any condition other than being in the state of harmony, means that we are out of Balance and that we are deficient in energy somewhere. The symptoms for this can be different – illness or physical pain, too much stress, injury, depression, anger, feeling lost. Reiki helps reduce stress and anxiety and encourages relaxation. It can help remove energy blocks, remove childhood traumas, fears, emotions stuck in the body, reduce physical pain, clear negative energy and aid the correct functioning of our chakras, and thus increasing our intuition and helping us hear the messages from our higher self much clearer.

What are the benefits of Reiki healing sessions?

  • Can help you discover your true calling – your purpose in life.
  • Promotes mental health by bringing clarity into your life or different situations you are in.
  • Helps heal traumas and release stuck/blocked energies inside your physical or energy body, so you can finally get rid of old believes, behaviours, mind-loops, thought patterns, etc.
  • Can improve sleep, help to remove nightmares, and reduce physical pain.
  • Can improve your self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love.
  • Brings awareness and calmness in one’s personal relationships, as well as in one’s professional mindset. 
  • Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression, and helps you relax by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (reduced heart rate, reduced blood pressure, increased heart rate variability)

What to expect during the Reiki session

Do you talk during the session?

You and the reiki practitioner Svetlana start by speaking for a while, more similar to a therapy session or counselling in order to establish the topic/issue on which the reiki practitioner will focus during the healing. Then you will need to sit down or preferably lay down comfortably and relax with closed eyes for the reiki portion, which could last around 35 to 45 minutes.

How long is a reiki session?

A typical reiki session will last for about an hour, however, some sessions (especially the initial session) might be an hour and a half including the discussion of the topic at hand on which the practitioner will focus, then the reiki healing, and finally messages and suggestions which the practitioner needs to convey to you. 

Do I need to go into a reiki session with a specific problem I want to fix?

Not at all. While many people come in for sessions because they are feeling things like pain, stress, energy depletion, anxiousness, or are emotionally overwhelmed, reiki can support us in so many other aspects of life. I also love working with clients who just want to receive reiki with no intention or expectation. That way, there is a whole world that can be explored during the session. 

If there is something specific you want to address in a session, it’s important to let your practitioner know during your initial discussion so they can make sure to connect to it during the healing.

What should I expect to feel during a session?

While most people feel the effects of reiki right away, others may feel the impacts after their session. Common feelings include tingling, warmth, and deep relaxation. (You may even fall asleep because you become so relaxed and wake up from your session with a new sense of awareness, clarity, and/or connection.) Svetlana has performed healing sessions on head trauma where the person receiving reiki was feeling a strong cooling effect on their head in order to slow down the injury inflammation. 

Each person is very different in how they feel and experience the reiki energy. This practice will also continue to shift and change and feel slightly different every time, similar to a meditation. Trust that your experience is exactly what it needs to be on that day. 

During the session while your practitioner is healing your body or focusing on transforming an issue you have discussed, she might hum to attune your energy centres (chakras). Do not get alarmed, this is normal as a lot of energy passes through the practitioner during the session.

Is the session in-person?

No, the session is over Zoom and is only between you and your practitioner. Svetlana is a master reiki which allows her to work with Reiki from a distance and the session online is as effective as the in-person session. What is marvellous about Reiki is that it works without limitations in time and space, therefore, childhood traumas, other deep emotional events, incidents along the family line, and even past-life occurrences can be treated.

Reiki can help treat medical conditions, however, it is a complementary approach meant to support conventional medicine. Although people using Reiki healing sessions can experience the above-mentioned benefits, if you have a serious medical condition, please seek medical assistance alongside your Reiki healing.
