Attending a Reiki session? Here's the etiquette to follow
What's the story
Reiki healing sessions are a type of alternative therapy where the practitioner transfers universal energy to the patient's body through their palms.
This energy transfer is thought to promote emotional or physical healing.
Just like any other therapy session, there are certain etiquettes you should follow when attending a reiki healing session.
Adhering to these guidelines helps create a respectful and comfortable environment for both you and the practitioner.
Punctuality
Arrive on time
Punctuality is key when attending a Reiki session.
Respecting the practitioner's schedule and ensuring you maximize the benefits of your allocated time are important.
Aim to be there five to ten minutes early. This way, you can have a few moments to yourself to get comfortable and let go of any stress before your session starts.
Attire
Dress appropriately
For Reiki sessions, you should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
This type of clothing allows energy to flow freely, helping you reach a deeper state of relaxation during the session.
Avoid belts or any clothing that may be restrictive. You want to be as comfortable as possible and not feel restricted in any way.
By choosing the right clothing, you can ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
Communication
Communicate openly
Before your session begins, communicate with your practitioner. Discuss any concerns or areas you'd like them to focus on.
Open communication ensures your session is tailored to your needs, making it more beneficial.
Plus, if you feel discomfort at any point during the session, it's crucial to voice it immediately.
Distractions
Turn off electronic devices
In order to preserve a peaceful and undisturbed environment, please make certain that all electronic gadgets are switched off or silenced prior to the commencement of your session.
This simple act of consideration not only maintains the tranquility of the space but also allows you and others to fully engage in the healing experience without disruptions.
Privacy
Respect privacy and confidentiality
Reiki healing sessions are intimate experiences that often involve the exchange of private information between you (the practitioner) and your client.
It's important to respect this confidentiality by not discussing the details of your session or others' experiences outside of this sacred space.
Maintaining this principle of privacy builds trust and is key to establishing a safe environment for emotional and physical healing.
