During a Reiki treatment the practitioner will use the universal energy by keeping their feet grounded. This energy will be transfered through the practioner and onto the client. The practitioner will work through all of the Chakras.
Palm healing – is a non-contact technique which moves energy between the hands of the practitioner and the area of the body of the client they are working on.
Hands on or touch healing is when the practitioner places hands directly onto the client which can strengthen the healing process and for many clients they find this more comforting.
The energy can be felt by the practitioner and can become stronger where a blockage is located. The energy can feel like waves back and forth from one hand to the other and at times during a treatment a practioner can even feel physical pain where a blockage is. Which inturn can stir up emotions such as sadness, anger, happiness etc. releasing the stuck energy. This phenomenon can take place during or after treatment.
Treating energy blockages with Reiki healing is done by staying on the blocked Chakra for as long as the waves of energy start to relax and become stable. Once this happens many practitioners will draw out and throw the energy from the area away to the ground at least 6 times.
During a treatment its not unusual for a client to feel pins and needles, see an array of colours, feel emotions, spiritually connect with past or present loved ones, or to feel heavy or light, hot or cold. The physical or emotional feelings can come as a result of the blocked Chakra being released and starting to move again. Some clients can have these feelings for days after. It is a positive reaction regardless of the release from the body and even crying is positive. It means the body is releasing the emotions or physical stagnation in the body that it may have had building up for a long period of time.
