Our essential preparation guide provides step-by-step instructions to enhance your session. Be ready to share any heavy emotions, high stress, or behaviors that you’d like relief from. Please briefly share any physical limitations.
Clearing Space and Setting Intentions
Using a space clearing spray before a Reiki treatment is recommended and it’s a good, easy way to improve the energetic quality of the space. Certain plants and crystals are apparently very effective. If you have time it is advisable that you ‘tune into’ your client’s energy before he/she arrives.
Before the Session
To prepare for a Reiki session, you should check in with your practitioner to see if there is anything they need you to do. It is best to avoid highly processed sugar products for at least 12 hours before and after the session. Dress comfortably.
Reiki is an ancient healing modality that relies on energy work to promote holistic well-being. Costs for sessions vary nationwide but expect to pay about what you’d pay for a massage.
Preparing for a Reiki session involves creating a calm and peaceful environment. Wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict movement and hydrate beforehand. It is suggested to refrain from caffeine, sugar, or alcohol at least three hours before a session.
To prepare for your session, you want to guarantee that you have the best session possible. Below we have explained practical tips that you should consider:
- Check-In With Your Practitioner
- Set an intention for the session
- Read about the basics of Reiki & how it is conducted
- Drink 6-8 glasses of water at least 4-5 days before
- Eat organic or light food- more sattvic food
Note on Remote Sessions
The above can apply to remote Reiki sessions as well. Your practitioner should provide you with verbal or written instructions on what to do prior to, during, and after your remote session.
Costs and Frequency
The cost of a Reiki treatment varies depending on where you go, as well as the length of the session. You can space out the sessions according to your needs and schedule.
Immediately Before Your Session
Relax and reflect at least 30 minutes before your session. Eat and stay hydrated, but avoid heavy meals.
Caffeine and Reiki
Caffeine can affect the way energy flows through you and can reduce your ability to relax or focus. While it’s not necessary to completely cut out caffeine, consider reducing it before your session.
Special Considerations for an Attunement
Before an attunement session, go through a process of cleansing. Drink 2-3 glasses of water before the session and let go of expectations. Understand that healing is a process. Try to laugh by reading a book or conversing.
