What to expect?
Your scheduled Reiki session will last a total of 2 hours which will include Chakra balancing, Crystal therapy, Aura cleansing and Aromatherapy. Day of session, you will be greeted by Tavia and led to the relaxing healing space. You will then remove your shoes and rest comfortably on a massage table, laying on your back, under a warm fuzzy blanket, remaining clothed at all times.
​
At that time a brief description will be shared on what to expect as you begin to settle in and relax. Tavia will not ask many questions, as she has a very strong guide during her session that guides her to where the energy and healing is needed. She believes, the body tells the story and speaks to her. You will, of course, be given an opportunity to ask any questions or share what you feel is necessary to know before beginning the session.
Once the session begins, Tavia will gently place her hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. The entire body is treated rather than just specific areas. The session will then proceed with moving through specific standard Reiki hand positions beginning at the person’s head or feet. Receiving Reiki is a wonderfully passive experience. Don't try to relax, just let the Reiki relax you. Your state will shift quite naturally as the session proceeds. Meanwhile feel free to daydream, enjoy the music, or simply observe your breath or the sensations of the therapy.
​
Once the actual balancing, alignment and energy work is complete, you will slowly awaken to stretch, drink water, then sit to take notes of your full spiritual body scan results that occurred in session. This is when you will hear of blockages, if any, the type and process of removal in full details. Which also may include messages from lost loved ones and/or regarding your current life issues on love, work and health, past present and future, ending with recommendations and after care.
Each person experiences Reiki differently depending on their individual needs at the time. Benefits reported by recipients include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well being on all levels. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience seeing colors, while others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored. Sometimes nothing is felt directly. Instead, the body takes the time to incorporate the changes applied by the attuned Reiki Practitioner and the benefits may not be felt until after a session is complete, sometimes even days later.
All in all, Reiki is a gentle healing art that uses an “energetic dance” between the practitioner and recipient to create holistic healing throughout the systems of the body.
What happens after the session?
Reiki provides a person "Universal Life Energy" strengthening the immune system in order to begin the self healing process, removing toxins, repairing body tissue while cleansing and balancing the body. Every person responds differently during this detoxification period after a session, depending on the load of toxins in their body. Although recipients typically leave a Reiki session feeling refreshed, sometimes they notice feeling more tired in the evening than usual. This the body's natural healing response stimulating your immune system to start the healing process and should last only a few days.
​
How many more sessions should a recipient receive?
Reiki works by restoring energetic balance. It is up to you to let go of the things that are keeping your system out-of-balance. Most often these are deeply rooted past issues that we have been carrying around with us our entire lives. In those cases, one session may not be enough to resolve these issues. Multiple sessions may be in order, but how often depends on you and your ability to handle what issues may surface. Some prefer to have one session while others have a series of sessions to work on particular issues, recovery or just overall stress relief and relaxation for their mind, body and soul.
