There are different types of Reiki sessions. During an in-person session, hands are laid above or directly on the receiver’s body in non-intrusive areas with a gentle, static light pressure. The Reiki practitioner focuses her attention and intention, combined with applied techniques to transfer energy.

Level Two Reiki practitioners are trained to practice across time and space. This allows for Reiki sessions to be offered when the practitioner and receiver are in different physical locations.  These sessions are referred to as ‘Distance Reiki; or ‘Remote Reiki’ sessions. Remember that Reiki is based on the idea that everything living is made up and connected with universal lifeforce energy which is not confined to time or space.

Other ways Reiki is offered is in group settings, through yoga and other combined modalities. Whatever the expression, the typical intention is for the practitioner to share this universal lifeforce energy and support people in their journey for moving energy to support their goals.

The Reiki practitioner is a space holder for this experience, a channel to share this Reiki energy together.
