hands into the recipient.

body, or may feel like they are floating while others may fall asleep. Some
recipients feel an emotional lightness and clarity.
To be honest, there are a few recipients of Reiki that feel nothing at all;
however, they generally do feel better after the Reiki session.
What is a Reiki Master Practitioner?

spiritual), is currently offering Reiki sessions and is teaching Reiki.
How do I become a Reiki Practitioner?
Before you begin your journey toward becoming a Reiki Practitioner,
you should first have at least one Reiki session. This will tell you how Reiki feels
in your own body and will give you an idea of how you may be in service with this modality for others. Then, you must complete required coursework, practicum and be attuned to Reiki by a Reiki Master Practitioner.
