Frequently Asked Questions
What is reiki therapy?
Reiki therapy is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan. It involves the use of a practitioner’s
hands to transfer healing energy to the patient. The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei” which
means “universal” and “ki” which means “life energy”.
This therapy is often used as a complementary therapy to traditional medical treatments and is not meant to
replace them. It is believed to help reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, improve sleep, and enhance overall
well-being.
How long does a Reiki therapy session last?
The length of a Reiki therapy session can vary depending on the practitioner and the patient’s needs, but
typically a session lasts around 60 to 90 minutes.
However, some practitioners may offer shorter or longer sessions depending on their preferences and the patient’s
needs. It’s always a good idea to discuss session length with your practitioner beforehand to ensure that you
have a clear understanding of what to expect.
Is Reiki therapy safe?
Reiki therapy is generally considered to be safe. It’s a non-invasive and gentle form of therapy that does not
involve the use of drugs, needles, or physical manipulation of the body.
It is also suitable for people of all ages and can be used alongside other medical treatments, although it should
not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
What are the potential side effects of Reiki Therapy?
Reiki therapy is generally considered to be safe and free of side effects. However, some people may experience
mild side effects, which can include:
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Mild headache or dizziness
- Nausea or upset stomach
- An emotional release or heightened emotions
- Temporary increase in pain or discomfort
